I've seen gators in South Carolina and Louisiana.

Bobcat and silver fox in Texas.

Lots of deer.  Also Elk in Nevada (Carson City area)

Wild Turkey.

A friend of mine hit a Beaver with his drive, accidentally of course. I was a low line drive, nailed the beaver in the head and it fell in the water. He thought he killed it, but as they drove by, it was climbing our of the water shaking it off.

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

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 b

My friend’s course in NH has a resident bobcat on the third hole. Sometimes she is on the tee and other times near the green.

I normally carry a pellet gun with me to the golf course.  I find it helpful to get rid of squirrels, ducks, mud hens and other animals that annoy me while I'm on the course.

I mean it’s nothing much to see deer on the course. But for opening weekend for hunting and seeing an 8pt on city property is cool. He knew where to be.

Yes, questions abound....no sign of blood or debris field?  Looks like a mask sitting on the ground.

What kind of range on the pellet gun?  Can it reach out 150-250 yards to encourage a slow group ahead to get moving?

@famousdavis has been put in a timeout for his juvenile trolling.

The most interesting wildlife we have on our course that you wouldn't see on normal courses is land crabs.  A large part of the course is built on previous paddy land (they used to grow rice there).  Over time they have increased the mud, improved the drainage and with some chemicals and fertiliser, the crabs have reduced, but they still exist, albeit in much smaller numbers than before.

An ambitious beaver was on the course some time between November and March. I have yet to see one, just their handiwork.

I guess I forgot to post this from my Hilton Head trip last year. I almost walked into these guys. I was looking into the pond as I was walking around the bunker to check for gators in the water, then happened to look up as I approached the corner.

I walked back around the long way 😃

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      By WUTiger · Posted

      I have trouble with vertigo on occasion, but have gotten nutritional and biofeedback tips to keep it at bay. Dehydration can help trigger v-like symptoms so one recommendation, along with maintaining overall hydration, is to start with 8 oz. of water early in the morning. A meta-analysis on Golf As Physical Activity indicated that golf is rated as a moderately intensive physical activity. This scientific literature review came from the University of Edinburgh. The physical activity level ties into hydration. A former university colleague was a marathon runner who had published a couple of articles on endurance training. He likewise said that golf was a moderate physical activity especially when the round stretched past  the two-hour mark. For hydration he recommended switching from water to electrolyte drink on the back nine (past two hour point of exercise) to prevent cramping. At the two-hour point of moderate activity, water starts flushing electrolytes out of the body, which can lead to fatigue and cramping. (I have had trouble with leg cramps in the past during exertion.) During a round, I start out with water on the front nine and switch to sports drink on the back nine. If the day is unusually hot, I may drink 8 oz. of Pedialite concentrate before going to the course. Maintaining overall hydration plus on-course boosters keeps me going.

      Puerto Vallarta Vacation / Vidanta

      By Mystique · Posted

      Personally I’d try booking direct first - either via the Vidanta golf reservations number/email or through the resort concierge - especially for Christmas/New Year. Vidanta’s main courses (Greg Norman and Nicklaus designs) are popular and can book out fast this time of year, so direct often gives you the best shot at your preferred tee times.
