"Last spring we wanted to hire a guy who brings his border collies out to the course 5 days a week to chase the geese away before they nest. The new owners didn’t want to do that then. After seeing the results, I’ll bet they let us do that next year."
I work on a college campus and we have the problem with geese. Years ago we tried hiring someone with dogs to try to chase them away. Unfortunately, it didn't work well. The geese would take off, circle around, then land on another part of campus. What a mess.

Yeah..feathered rats I say!
Back in he 90’s the club was still private and could get nuisance permits to dispose of them. The groundskeeper would take his 10 gauge and a golf cart and take them out 5 or 6 at a time. Can’t do that now since all the houses have surrounded the course. Can’t hunt them either. All of the Gananda development ( which the course is part of) is designated forever wild.

You ain’t kidding Dom. What a way to make a few extra bucks. Love this course.
When it cools off I’ll play more golf.

My Son and I got out on the course for 18 this morning. Teed off at 7:05. Played 18 for the first time in years.
Bumped into the Super a couple of times. He wanted to talk work….we were golfing. He was on 11 messing with the irrigation heads and valves with water running when we got to the tee. I bombed a 3 wood about 10’ from his cart . He was 20 yards away. Then I proceeded to drop a 7 iron shot on the green.
Man, that was a lot of fun. Playing our course with my Son that is.

Our crew does a great job on Fairways.
Can’t believe how good they look this year. Last super let them burn to a crisp by now.

Yet another beautiful morning at the “Office”
What a great way to be a part of something.
Playing tomorrow with my Son. It’ll be fun for sure.

Nice pre-sunrise shot. The birds get me up very early every morning.
It's great that you are able to share something with your son.
I'm lucky, my sons are close. I was able to get out and play 18 a few weeks ago with both my sons. There was a time when they were young when I could beat them but they've become too good at the game. I watched them battle it out right until the end but my oldest nailed his approach shot on 18 and took the match. I was a distant 3rd. Fun to be with them though.

Yeah, I used to be able to keep up with Rob, but I have your basic “Old Man Swing “ now. He out drives me by 100 yards now. But, we play for fun.
We have 2 rules:
No work talk
No score cards
It’s really nice that the pro shop lets us play whenever we want. In fact they’re always bugging us to play more. They appreciate the good work we’re doing to revive this course after many years of neglect. Players are constantly coming up to us saying how great the course is. We tell them just wait…..it’s going to get a whole lot better.
We’ve got a good crew and a good leader.

And another day dawns…
That was Friday. Started in the dark at 4:30 this morning. “Hurricane Junior Tour” tournament this weekend. Shotgun start at 7:30 am today. This group were real jerks. Most unfriendly, demanding group I’ve seen. Small wonder the other local courses refuse to host their event.
Sure puts a positive light on our members. They’re a great bunch. Always friendly, quick to compliment and slow to complain.
