Critters on the course you ran into...

That seems like a extreme bite for a snapping turtle. The description was hard to tell what the bite looks like too.

Makes one wonder if it was not a 'gator instead of a turtle. Did I mention we have them in some of our waters too?

We had a player get bitten by a copperhead at Loriella Park this weekend.

Ground yellowjackets on in between holes 7 and 8. EVIL critters.... thankfully I didn't "run in" to them, just noticed the cloud of them before walking into it...

^Not sure if this constitutes as a critter we have ran into at a course, but we did run into the weird intestine crap on your home course, Jer!

Hope there's no permanent damage done.

I don't know if anyone else has mentioned this but at Lake Township Park in Bridgman, MI and other area courses with sandy soil I've seen these monsters:

They're actually quite harmless unless you decide to pick one up or something dumb like that. Even knowing that they're still terrifying to have buzzing around to say the least due simply to their size since they're like 2 or 3 times larger than any bumble bee or wasp.

I hit a goose on a drive last week at the lake. Shook it off like a champ, honked at me and headed out into the water. It happens every now and then. The local tournament here is called the goosepoop open for good reason.

Hope that they're OK.

I ran into a black snake between basket #1 and tee #2 when I was there. Of course, it just quietly slid into the woods without incident.

Last year at Horning's on the Canyon course, when I threw my drive off hole 1 it turned over a little more than I wanted and I hit one of the peacocks. It put up a little ruckus, then just wandered off wondering what the hell had just happened. I felt pretty bad, but was glad I didn't hit it in the head or neck, that would probably have been permanent lights-out.

Yeah that was disgusting, and of course covered in yellowjackets. Man my course seems to have a wasp problem around fall...

I encountered a wild crackhead on hole 2 at Central about an hour ago, just wandering down the fairway. I said hi, my gesture was not returned. In feudal culture, this would be grounds for a duel to the death.

Unfortunately, I left my wakizashi at home... Maybe next time.

 

[Enforcerj027]

NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hit me up if your ever in the area playing again.

I actually scored that disc from the X-Out section at GGGT for 10 bucks, but I will for sure holla if I am in Iowa dude

Saw one of these:

randomly fall out of a tree with a heavy thud while working on a course in MI.

It recovered after a bit (it was bleeding transparent purple blood in the spot it landed on) and seemed no worse for wear so I put it in a tree branch and hoped that it didn't become bird food.

Ran into this bad boy on the course yesterday. He was over by the putting area at Elon Park.

Here he is next to my 'melon for a size comparision:

He was the size of a hot dog!
