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.

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.

What's in the bag

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 😃

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT ·

      Day 9 (29 Jan 25) - Weekly nine hole round today - as we play up a set of tees, only put seven clubs in the bag: driver, 3wHL, 6i, 8i, Pw, 54* and putter.  Was a good long game day, wedge work was off.  Neat thing seeing the green from non-typical approach distances.  Playing a ‘new to me course’ tomorrow…full bag will be in tow.

      I cheated and searched the phrase. Good example.

      The putting green itself is fine. It's the same green we have here. They just need to learn how to chip "into" the grain instead of just down-grain all the time. You have to hit it solid. The launch monitors and the simulator software are garbage right now. Nobody wants to say anything bad about the LMs because Tiger is a partial owner or something. The software has 3Ws stopping in ten feet on the green, and balls bouncing all of 11 yards after flying 311 in the fairways.
