Not sure what these are? It's in Colorado. Elk as well?

Yeah, I'm not so sure I'd be laughing so much like in the above video. Nature is to be respected.

My recent visit to Garland Golf Resort in Lewiston, Michigan yielded a rare view of a Bald Eagle that lives on the property.  We were coming up the 15th Fairway on the Fountains course when a majestic Bald Eagle flew up form behind a small mound with something in its grasp just 30 feet in front of me.  I could not get my camera fast enough to get him in flight however he perched in a tree just behind the green and I was able to get some shots from the green.  If you look at the attached photo and zoom in a little you will see it has a full grown groundhog in its talons.  We also saw its nest the next day while playing the Reflections course and if you zoom in and look a little above and to the left of the nest you will see one of its Eaglets that is not yet flying.  We were told there are two eaglets but we only say the one.  Too bad my cell phone camera could only zoom in so much.  I would have loved to get some closer up shots.

1) At least he is considerate enough to stay in the hazard

2) he encourages one to just take a drop and not try to play out of the hazard.

This was my approach on the par 3 #14 today.   After I took the picture, he grabbed my ball and played with it for a moment.

soft greens with all of the rain we've had.   I fixed at least 4 ball marks per green today, that was my mission!

I saw an Alligator once and Monkeys. Unfortunately I think I've lost the monkey video, it was on an old phone. I didn't have a phone with me for the Alligator incident. Apart from that Geese and Deer, no photos to hand. Anything special I'll think to post.

Beaver Island, MI. A pair of snakes, my ball is in the lower left corner. Fawns and wild turkeys in the fairway on 5.

I would let the snakes keep the ball...

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. 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

    • Day 33 (23 Feb 25) - Weather was nice (around 60deg) this afternoon - got in a speed round of 18 (the pro shop said I needed to be in by 5 (teed off right at 3  - thankfully course not busy and I was boringly straight for the most part). Played from the member tees to allow focus on the longer game especially approach shots.  Decent all around round - with an 86.  Lost at least 5 strokes on the green, I.e. had a number of putts 5’ or less that I missed for par….did pretty good time wise - walked off 18th green at 5pm.  
    • 2/23/25 - it’s been awhile (I’ve noticed I start quite a few posts with that). My wife is doing well! We’ve been blessed with how everything has turned out so far. But after playing just a few rounds all last year, I was looking forward to getting back out on the course. As Mr. Murphy would have it, I’ve had some chronic reoccurring golfer’s elbow intermittently flaring up for years, but have had pretty painful unrelenting bout now for 3 months despite typical conservative treatments of Ice, oral & injectable NSAIDs, steroid injection, physical therapy (to include dry needling and typical modalities) and as of last week, a PRP injection. No better. Holding out hope as the PRP injection can take a couple of weeks to take. While statistically most folks won’t need surgery, my last step is just that.  I didn’t even pay the $40 this year to keep my GHIN going since it’ll be months before I can hit a few balls.  No responses needed, not fishing for anything. Just posting since I’ve had nothing to post in a while.
