When grass gets too cozy

I’ve been managing the turf for over a decade now, but you wouldn’t believe the time I caught a couple of squirrels having a picnic on the 7th green. They completely disregarded my perfectly mowed lines; it’s a reminder that no matter how well we try to manage things sustainably, nature has its own sense of humor. Ever had a funny turf moment on the course?

I once caught a raccoon trying to take a nap on the fairway; I guess when it comes to relaxing, nature really knows how to roll out the welcome mat! Have you ever thought about how you could turn those funny moments into a turf guide?
