I've seen rabbits, squirrels, turkeys, ducks, geese, hawks, and deer. The deer were probably the coolest, since I see them the least often.

Copperhead- between 5th and 6th hole there is a concrete bridge that sticks about 2 feet above the creek water... he hangs out under there.
Beavers have it dammed up just downstream think that's why they like it there.

The ones with babies (such as the one you took pictures of) are the most dangerous animal on the course.

Last weekend had 5 Tom turkey wander right across the cart path if front of me and had to wait to tee off as a doe with 2 fawn walked across the fairway.

Deer, squirrel, snake (harmless), Blue Heron, Chicken Hawk, Bass, Carp, Geese galore, and let us not forget the dreaded Gopher (a.k.a. - Varmint).

I was playing at Wright Patterson AFB last year, hit my ball in the middle of the fairway and drove to my friends ball in the rough. I saw some commotion out of the corner of my eye, turned and noticed a hawk in the fairway with his talon grasping my ball. I yelled, "Don't even effin think about it bird!", and it flew away leaving my ball where it was. Dayum ball steeling bastid!

I ran into this snake when I was looking for my drive in the woods. He was over 6 feet long.

If I had known at the time it was harmless king rat snake, I would have taken more (and better) pictures.

I guess they love our course and the people who play there because they will come right up to you and grab popcorn right from your hand. its pretty hilarious.

I will also add wild turkeys in Eastern Ohio and in West Virginia. I am talking about the bird, not the booze. Although I have seen the latter as well.

I saw a hawk in a death dive live last night while walking to the first tee. I'm sure he got a nice little dinner out of that.

Our course is built right in the middle of the city, it's not a part of a wood or something so there are no animals except for crows. And I've seen a bat one time. Other than that there is nothing.

Eagles: 0
Birdies: 18
Best Round: 89

There's these crazy people that live in the bushes on the 15th hole of my home course. They also bathe in the lake in front of the green. So freaky...

Can anybody top a monkey? I started playing golf in Kenya and our home course was full of them. The cutest thing was seeing a baby monkey attached to the mother monkey on her belly, just wrapping its arms and legs around its mom. They're so common that the course's symbol is the monkey.

When I was in Texas at the Quarry Golf Course, there was a rattlesnake curled up behind one of the back tee boxes.

    • Day 444 - 2025-12-18 Light day of hotel room work. GEARS Summit v2.0 today. Good day.
    • Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.  
    • I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on. 
    • I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.
    • Day 128 12-18 Worked on rotation and getting to lead side. Still working on the flow feeling while doing that. Recorded swings.
