The biggest snake I've ever seen "in real life" was on the 13th green at Bear's Best in Las Vegas. Fortunately, nobody in my group hit their ball near it. But we gave it plenty of room and kept one eye on it while putting. 

So my wife and I are walking into the pro shop at a course on Marco Island back in the 90s. We step over a big black hose that’s lying on the cement path. I look back and the hose moves off into the bushes. I did NOT tell her otherwise we would not have played.

Just a topic for photos, videos, etc. of wildlife/animals on the golf course.

Found this little guy at Southern Pines when I almost stepped on him in some pine straw and grasses near a tee box. I thought he was a bottle cap or something as his shell looked to be quite different

You are wise beyond your years. 
That was certainly the right decision. 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

This guy was just hanging out yesterday. That’s my ball on the fringe in the background and he stayed there the whole time as I walked around the bunker to the right and up to my ball.

Saw a pack of coyotes, too (heard them first), but couldn’t take a picture because they were on the next hole over and in the woods so it would have come out blurry anyway.

Okay, I've crossed that course off my bucket list...

Tough break to get an unplayable lie…on the tee box.

I played last week in Chino Hills (Los Serranos Golf Club) and saw two hawks chasing each other. One of them had a snake that the other was trying to get.

We’ve had 20 pups of these guys around our course so far in the last month, including a den next to my school’s hitting area (where this was taken). Keeping the bunnies and squirrels at bay.

I’m not sure I’ve ever seen baby turkeys (chicks) so small. Obviously, they’re small when they’re just hatched… I just don’t think I’ve seen any so newly hatched in the last 20 years or so.

This little guy just looked at me as I walk by him about 10 yds away this morning.

Was he carrying a box with ACME on it?

"Deer & Fox Hide & Seek" - I recorded this a year ago. Too lazy until now to share. The two featured actors were completely oblivious to my presence.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 120 - Played 18; much better than yesterday. Miss right now is off the heel of the club, so I need to sort that out.

      Today we played Pease Golf Course in Portsmouth, NH. Course was in great shape but my game didn't show up. I will say I pitched and chipped fairly well but almost everything else was very hit or miss. Cost myself a lot hitting an in play drive with pulling my approach shots maybe 85% of the time. Finally figured out I had been swaying most of the round. Only took me until 13 to figure it out. Used what felt like a much more centered turn and the ballstriking improved. 18 tomorrow using a 2 man scramble format. Just looking to contribute. Been a blast though.

      Day 22: Hit balls with 7-iron using mevo+ to track dispersion. Was out for a long time after work; 86 balls but the first 50+ were 50% swings focusing on top of backswing feel and then just hitting the ball as a psychic reward. Finished with 20 balls close to full speed. Pretty happy with dispersion and also no horrendous misses. I’m chunking my priority piece out into two separate feels, first and more important is the position/balance at top of backswing which is what I was working on. Once I have that engrained I’ll move to transition part.

      New Maxfli Tour and Tours Balls?

      By iacas ·

      FWIW I never really had issues with the previous generation of Snells. But… I'm not sure I played them a ton, either.

      New Maxfli Tour and Tours Balls?

      By pganapathy ·

      I know Dean Snell designed the original Pro V along with a couple of other brands tour balls.  How exactly does the Snell ball have problems.  Did he change something in the design or is a manufacturing error since he cannot afford the unlimited R&D budgets of the big manufacturers to iron out flaws
