Wild Goose Chase

[md_meezer]

It was a brisk morning.  The dew was still on the grass and the morning mist just starting to burn off with the rising sun.   I stood on the hill looking out over the fairway.

Breathing in, I set up my stance then exhaled and swung.   The ball sailed 160 yards out into the fairway.

"Not too bad", Eddie says as he walked to the golf cart.

We drove down

We have problems with Canadian geese as well. This was a great golfing story.

thanks.

LOL. I love geese stories. I think they have secretly become my favorite animal. Their disregard for humans asking them to shoo amuses me greatly.

He was not going to let some human woman scare him away.

I didn't know about that opossum story. Humans are vile. Geese are definitely not having it, though!

[md_meezer]

yes, very sad about the opossum. They are such gentle creatures. Geese have no fear of anything.

Aren't they pesky? And not easily intimidated, either. :O

I have no idea how people golf on the small course that is next to our river bike path. There are TONS of Canadian geese there, and they never leave.

[md_meezer]

the humans just dodge all the goose poop to putt.

[halfshellvenus]

I can imagine that could be hard to putt through though. And what about the geese themselves, standing or sitting in the way?

Kind of reminds me of just the other day I needed to drive into a field with bulls in it to get to my beehives on the far side. Normally the bulls just stand their stoically as you drive past and tehy don't bother me, but this one was JUST beside the gate and I was worried he'd try to leave the paddock as I had the gate open and trhen I'd have someone's loose bull on my hands. So Ii tried waiving my hands at it and yelling "go! get! move! please!" and it just looked at me stoically. There was another gate at a different corner of the field so I just drove to that one and used it as this bull was utterly unphased by my exhortations.
