Mostly just ducks, magpies and plovers occupy the golf courses. <br /><br />The biggest problem we have is when the birds have a nest nearby a fairway and they swoop the golfers to protect their young.<br /><br />Fortunately we are armed with golf clubs which make very handy weapons.Troy Vayanoshttp://www.talkinggolfonline.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17206449.post-47763563241305371642012-04-27T13:16:31.065-04:002012-04-27T13:16:31.065-04:00Coots have replaced Canada Geese as the biggest pa...Coots have replaced Canada Geese as the biggest pain in the a$$ at my local muni, Santa Teresa Golf Club, in San Jose, CA.
