Falcon hazard!

[Tad]

Wow. My son and I were at Lakewood yesterday evening and had an interesting experience at the tee on 11. We had just arrived at the tee and heard some loud scuffling way up in one of the really tall trees. We looked up just in time to see this squirrel falling to earth. I thought for sure we were going to witness something ugly.

With it's legs stretched out it reminded me of a skydiver and I swear it had one of those cartoon "surprised" looks just like this It belly-flopped on the leaves and grass and one of it's young immediately landed just a foot away. The adult popped right up and went into defensive mode to guard it's young one, which was squealing loudly. It looked okay but wasn't positive as the adult put a firm bite on it and headed back up the tree.

My son and I just stood there in disbelief at what we'd just witnessed. Looked like it'd all ended well as we drove up the hill off the tee.

My daughter played a round at Lake Stevens last year and someone in her group threw a hard drive into one of the big fir trees. Unfortunately, it also hit a grey squirrel that was climbing the tree and it died on impact. They said a couple squirrel prayers and buried it nearby.

That could have traumatized her if she already wouldn't have been traumatized by just being my daughter.....

Actually, I think we are the squatters when it comes down to it? We can coexist successfully if we do it right.

What course is it? Beautiful it is!

Those pics are from a nine hole course I built at my dad's house in Redmond. I tried to organize a work party on Sat. to clean it up and get it playable as it has acouple years of growth on it at the moment. The deer where the only ones who showed up and all they did was poop and look at me funny. But Bambi her mom and I got a full days work in anyway and unless I break both my arms I will be getting it nice and parked out after the tournament season settles down.

Nice. I bet if you'd mention "beer" you could've attracted more than Bambi and her mom.
