I found this gopher sitting in the driveway heading into Heritage Trails. He didn't seem to want to move so left him be.

The grounds keeper will never find a gopher on asphalt! Genius IQ move there!

Once I saw a groundhog sleeping soundly on an asphalt driveway. I thought it was dead but it woke and ran off at the last second.

This is not a "gopher" 'round these parts. Interesting how different parts of the country have new and unique fauna. One of my great joys of playing the game around our nation!!


This is a gopher in this neck of the woods. [Michigan]

I've always called those critters "ground squirrels".

The pic Mocheez posted looks like my mental image of a gopher (which is courtesy of Caddyshack).

Lol.....throw these little vermin into the mix and we will never understand each other.



LMAO.....I posted this as DC was posting his chippy comment. The first pic is indeed a striped gopher, the second a chipmunk [the bane of my backyard ecosystem]

 

[Mocheez]

Yeah, I think the one I posted was a very young groundhog/woodchuck.

And to make it more confusing - the mascot for the Minnesota Golden Gophers is a Thirteen-lined ground squirrel, which is not a part of the same family as other gophers.

...and Minnesotan gophers only exhibit that golden hue during early morning hours, when the sunlight hits them just right.

Not a critter, but I found these cool Dead Man's Fingers on the course yesterday at Lenape Park.

People baggin courses in the southeast might want to think twice before reaching into murky water to retrieve discs. Gators can mistake a moving hand for a fish and...

Suddenly, you regret not purchasing a disc retriever.

Yea, I was told that AFTER I went wading in to get a hole at Parc de Families in Louisiana. Recently a small gator was spotted in the pond I went wading in in Houston.

At least reach for the disc with your off hand.
