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.

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.

      Phil Mickelson Booted out of Farms Golf Club

      By Shindig · Posted

      While it does turn out that both Tiger and Phil are less squeaky clean than I previously believed, I don't think golf quite has the worst in professional sports.  Or maybe they're better at image management.   Obviously I'm not fond of Phil's issue we're discussing in this thread (or his involvement with LIV) or Tiger's choices of how to drive.  I used to really like Dustin Johnson and, even before the LIV situation, we started to hear rumors that he bought more snow than Seward, although I don't think those stories were ever substantiated.  Meanwhile, I did think of Anthony Kim as the "good, bad boy" of the tour for a while fifteen years ago because of his party persona -- and if it turns out the worst he did was show up hung over to play (barring what one thinks of LIV), that's pretty good.  And I'm still happy he found a way to get his life clean. If we contrast that with some other sports I enjoy, I'm sure we could find a nice long list of NFL players that, at one point in my life, I was quite fond of, we get far worse disappointments (to put it mildly).

      Answering that properly would land me in hot water, so I'm not going to. I don't think that many people would do that. I think that in certain circumstances many people would be willing to overlook someone doing that. But I was really referring to what I assumed was Tiger's transgressions (cheating on his wife) not Phil's.

      No! Is a large part of the human population selfish, apathetic and cuts corners in the name of self-preservation 'more than they would like to admit', yes. Degenerate, scum, etc?.. no!! Most humans/men would not grope a woman like Phil is accused of doing (I think he absolutely did). That is scum. I mean what % of men do you think would do that? Seriously??

      I don't think that is true at all. That is off-topic here, I think.
