I've seen some sweet things at Turtle Creek.

I know the hole well (think it's #13, and I know Hudson Mills is hime to that snake, although I've never seen one myself (not that I'm complaining)!About 15 years ago, friends and I were playing Hudson Mills (near Ann Arbor, MI). The lady of our group threw a Cobra on that one tightly wooded anhyzer hole 3/4 of the way through the original course that wraps around a pond/swamp.
We approached her Disc, and not more than a foot away (from the COBRA!) was one of those Massasauga Rattlesnakes, a little one, flickering its little tail and everything! Cute as a button.
It's the only one I've ever seen in the wild.
the small ones are the most dangerous! YIKES!
Disc must have been retrieved by someone. Last time I played there (3/9/2013, judging from course conditions), that pond had dried up, so any discs would have been easy to see/retrieve, and there weren't any on those two holes. I hope we get enough precip to make it a pond again... adds a certain element. Now those holes feel like they're "missing something."We used a very long stick to fetch her (Innova) Cobra.
Now that I recall that hole, I had an Omega Supersoft nick a tree on the previous hole and splashdown in the middle of that pond/bog, circa 1997. I wonder if anybody ever got that out? It didn't look conducive to wading back then (and it's been a good 8 or 10 years since I've been back to Hudson Mills, sadly).
Now those holes feel like they're "missing something."
