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.

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

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.

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.

    • I agree with this 100%. I forget what tour player said it but they mentioned how in pro ams they hear amateurs say how they always make a majority of their mid range putts. His reply was no they don’t because if you did you’d be better than everyone on tour. Even pros think they’re better than they are. Back when stats weren’t as well known as today they asked a bunch of pros what the make percentage was on tour for 6 footers. The consensus was around 70%. Crenshaw was the closest with a guess of 50%. Actual percentage was 54%. I always thought it was interesting that one of the best putters was the closest. 
    • Day 145 - 2025-02-22 7-7 today at Golf Evolution. Managed to sneak in some work while waiting for dinner when I got home, though.
    • Day 15: 2/22/25 Putting through50 mm gates weight shift drills. Playing tomorrow, and will see how I do.
    • This is a good point and I’m going to go down this road. I’ll get some data on both techniques, compare the two, and then make a more informed decision. I’m bad about going off of what I “feel” is the best but should definitely approach it with more hard data.  All that being said, this made me laugh and is likely the cause of me wondering if the broomstick would be a better technique. I mean, who doesn’t want to get a new putter?
    • Day 32 (22 Feb 25) - Got in some wedge work with the 58° in the backyard before heading to a noon band rehearsal.  It’s the weakest part of my wedge game, so figured it would be good to work on distance control for a few minutes - varied the distances and lies from 5yds out to about 25yds.  Nice little drill session to kick off the day.
