| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses wildlife encounters on a golf course, highlighting potential benefits. States that "to those who claimed that golf blighted the natural landscape, [superintendent Randy Wilson] countered that golf courses were a better option than apartment complexes, big-box stores and pavement...[He] practiced edible landscaping on the borders of the course to increase wildlife sightings for the average golfer." Suggests that "when a golfer encounters an iridescent blue and black snake slithering into the brush as they contemplate searching for that lost ball, it gives the course a wild feeling, a ruggedness that is sure to generate puffed-up adventure stories in the bar of narrow escapes from menacing wildlife." |
