Meanwhile on the 7th hole at my course...This is the second bobcat we have trapped. My course is in the center of town.IMG_0061.thumb.jpeg.df1cb3bda1f3e25bc0f886948ce39581.jpeg

I've seen bobcats in town in Tucson, in more suburban neighborhoods, and on at least one golf course.  I've seen pictures of a family of then on a coworker's wall around their yard.  Never even occurred to me that they needed trapping!  The most interesting one was when my son said "Stop!" in the middle of my backswing, and he NEVER does that!  Maybe 125 yards out, there was a bobcat meandering across the fairway.

This big girl had made a meal out of several of the homeowners' pets that surround the course. A least one of those instances, the owners were in attendance to watch their little shitzu disappear over the wall in her mouth. That's not going to fly, and it cost her her life. They had to put her down.

Our two local courses have at times have had mtn lions, bobcats, various snakes, coyotes, tortoises, gila monsters, badgers, feral cats, wild dogs,  and what ever else lives in the mojave desert. 

The predators are there for the lizards, quail, rabbits, and other rodent populations that live on the courses. 

Both courses are surrounded on two, or three sides by homes, with the other sides open to the wild desert. 

The only real danger is the various rattlesnakes that frequent the area. Especially the mojave greens. Balls lost in the dense bushes, are usually left there. 

It is legal for local home owners to kill any wild animal/reptile deemed dangerous to humans, that should show up in their neighborhood. Animal control handles the disposal of the carcass.

Tortoises, bull, and king snakes are not deemed dangerous to humans.

Saw a bobcat recently get a mouse near the 18th tee of a local course. The course surrounds a river tributary. Lots of critters live in our river bottoms. We see some BIG snakes! Best, -Marv

    • I think you're saying it's preposterous to think that the areas on this club are anything like what's shown here: 30mm toward the toe or heel loses only 5% distance? Highly, highly doubtful. So a guy who hits the ball there and normally hits the ball about 250… will hit it instead about 238. By missing the sweet spot by about 1.2 inches? Highly, highly doubtful. Heck, the high heel barely gets into the red, and orange is only "up to" 10%! @M2R, I've never heard of "Ask Golf Nut" but I'm dubious of his claims in the video and really, really dubious of what's on his site: "Why AskGolfNut Is the Most Trusted Data-Driven Golf Resource". Hmmmmmm.
    • Day 151 1-11 flow work today. I've been doing all pause work, so Inwanted to get some rhythm going. Recorded.
    • a) No b) This MLR says: I doubt the MLR is going to affect their weekly league games, in other words.
    • So the question was posed today by some of my friends.  Is a pitch mark the same as a divot?  I thought NO, but they argued if your ball lands in another player's divot (made by club during a swing) this was the same as a pitch mark, i.e. the ball mark made when the ball lands  
    • Original definition use to or still is how far offline you hit it. It might be better to think of it as consistency in retaining favorable launch conditions to optimize distance.   That heat map showed a gigantic 0-3% loss in ball speed. That is absurd. The true 100% sweet spot is tiny for all clubs. Good luck telling the difference if the sweet spot is under 3% in a sizable area. Especially considering variation in launch angle, spin, and outdoor weather.
