Whats the strangest thing you have ever seen on a golf course?

Yeah, we've seen lizards before. Just thought I'd put this here anyway.

The strangest thing I remember seeing on a golf course was a couple of guys out with their own personal golf cart which had 10 inch speakers on the roof. This golfing duo were playing Led Zeppelin full volume as they began working their way around the course. It was short lived however when the course ranger came out and put an end to all that nonsense

Big old bear at Nicklaus North in Whistler, was in no hurry to move along either.  I'll try to dig out a photo.  Pretty novel for a Kiwi, our biggest worries are getting dive-bombed by magpies in spring!

There's a course in south St Pete that has crows that will snatch your balls. Ouch!  I heard some ahole trained them with marshmallows.  They only grab your balls on a few holes on the back side.  And only white balls.  They will then stash them in the palm trees and the gutters along a condo (probably where the ahole lived).  They don't bother yellow balls, so that's what I play on the back. 

The first time I cam across the crow(s) was on a par four.  Two of us in our foursome were playing white balls and two were playing yellow balls.  All four of us hit the green in regulation.  When we got to the green, there were only 3 balls.  Then I saw a crow swoop down and snatch my ball.  Ignored the yellow balls.  Maybe it was because the were Srixons?  I was yelling and waving my putter like a wild man trying to get the crow.

So, if you're every playing Isla Del Sol in St Pete, bring yellow balls.

WTF? How dangerous are kangaroos?

Fox steals headcover. Golfer wants it back.

I saw a video on those, and all the funny helmets people wear to stop them from attacking, they are crazy!

There was a show called 72 most dangerous animals in Australia and Magpies and Kangaroos were featured.  One guy was jogging and was attacked by a kangaroo.  The kangaroo won, messed him up good, gashed him open with his claws.  They rear up and use their tail to help them and kick at you and then have claws and can do some serious damage.  Those guys were smart to run away from them, great video!

Is that a rock? What is the gator doing?

Buddy of mine hit a duck hook on a hole next to a lake - ball hit a mud hen walking by the lake, it started wobbling and then toppled dead into the water.

Guy taking photos of the golf course from a helicopter. Dude was flying so low at times (maybe only 30-40ft over the 17th green) he could have been easily lost a window to a golf ball.
