"Wild" life on the course

I happened to be standing on the 12th tee this past Thurs, with camera in hand, when one of the foxes came trotting across the parking lot. I guess you could call that "being in the right place at the right time"!

They make their home over to the right of the 17th fairway & last year had six babies. I have heard numerous stories from golfers about how the fox or foxes have been known to sneak on the green & steal golf balls. In fact they have seem to have a preference for Pro V1...........they must have expensive taste!

One golfer was telling me how he missed the fairway on 17 to the left of the cart path & as he was walking up the fox came out of the woods, picked up the ball , dropped it in the fairway & then lay down near it. Almost like he was waiting for a thank you for improving his lie!
