Animals on the course

[rmccabe6]

When I was playing in florida a couple of years ago, I saw a whole bunch of flamingos in a shallow pond on the course.

there's a course in Md. (Piney Ridge) where the Deer are sooooo used to people playing that they will stand 5ft from the Tee Box and not even blink (don't think about them moving)........I think it's cool.....

You so totally win. This thread should be over after this post!

Accidentally got WAY too close to an aligator at my gpa's country club in Florida.

theres not much on my home course but lots of rabbits and big groups of seagulls (100 or so) and a group of Pukekos which are endangered i think.

Pukekos aren't endangered, they're actually legal to hunt during duck season. Mind you they don't help their survival by hanging out near roads all the time, the amount of times I've nearly hit those bloody things with my car...

Here in Thailand we have seen snakes, big black hairy spiders, elephants and Monkeys.

nothing unusual, but I did wing a squirrel who was chillin' by the green last week. luckily it was on the bounce and no harm was done. had to shoo him back in his whole for my chip shot.

Elk



big bull was just in the bush, not far..it was rut, so they kept a close eye on the cows

crappy part - they trample the greens and they were in rough shape

have seen a fox right in the middle of the fairway in the middle of the day 2 rounds in a row now.

Newport News Park at Deer Run has a ton of deer (it is a certified wildlife sanctuary) - you'll see does running around with their fawns everywhere. On 11 and 16, there are copperheads that like to come out and get suntans on the rocks near the water hazards on each hole - I almost had an unfortunate encounter with one on 11 during the second round of the Pen Am looking for a guy's ball.

Scariest animal encounter was at Cochiti Lake in New Mexico on the 9th tee box - a rattlesnake snuck under our cart as we were teeing off and we didn't see him until we drove away and he was coiled up and shaking his rattle - the cart taking off must have scared him.

At my home course in Upstate NY I have come across red fox's at least three times, and we had a large herron nesting in one of the ponds last year. Vacationing in Mytrle Beach I've come across many alligators as I'm sure most have, along with countless snakes.

But the most pesky animal I've come across is a Oriole nesting on the 5th tee of my home course. This crazy bird has buzzed me countless times over the past few months when I get near the 5th tee. there's a large tree there and I assume the Oriole has nested there with younglings and is protecting them. This dang bird has come right down on top of my head twice, good thing I had a hat on,,,lol!

I've learned that Orioles can be mean,,,lol!!!

coolest was a bobcat...sitting on the tee box we were approaching....we moved very slowly....

Eh nothing too special for me. Just some deer and my local course I play at alot has just ridiculous amounts of geese always on a certain hole. But there are some HUGE frogs in the ponds. I also saw a really big turtle about 20 yards from the green. Owl in a tree once too but I see those around my house a pretty good amount.

I've had a dog run across and steal a brand new Pro V1x out of the fairway. Needless to say I wasn't too happy.

[ballhog]

definitely saw two coyotes on the course today

[Robiola the Monster]

- Ducks (****ing annoying)

- Crows

- Rabbits

- Dogs (every now and then)

No there is no kangaroos or koalas :D

This little guy was soaking in the sun on the 7th tee box:
