Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the problems caused by Canada geese to the golf courses of Ontario. As the flocks of geese took up residence in nearby wetland areas and use the fairways and greens as playgrounds for their day-to-day activities, they were causing several hundreds of dollars' damage to the greens, forcing superintendents and their staff to spend a lot of additional man-hours to tackle the necessary repair work. "A $17 inflatable alligator has proven to be a sound investment for preventing thousands of dollars' damage to greens at some southern Ontario golf courses. The "Scary" looking creature has helped to keep destructive Canada geese at bay." |
