When I used to work on a golf course (greenskeeping etc.) we used to start up the mowers and head out at 6am, as you do.
The deer would actually sleep in the bunkers overnight since I guess sand holds heat better than grass? We’d see them absolutely *hauling ass* across the course after we woke them up. It really hit home how fast they were after I saw one jump clear over an entire green without breaking stride.
As a side note, I petitioned our super to rake greens by hand (instead of a John Deer with a rake attached to the back) after I discovered that turtles would lay their eggs in the traps. It was denied 🙁

This your first deer? One of my local tracks is littered with them on the front 9. Just hanging out right at the dogleg on a par 5. I guess I’ll hit it in the rough on the other side.

I saw a post from the buck titled “one of the coolest things I’ve seen sleeping”

My dad actually hit one standing in the fairway with his drive when we were playing once. We called it a Buckee.

This was just off the first green during my round on Wednesday!
Edit: your’s is way cooler though.

Great pic..awhile ago a course we played in the country had a hole in the perimeter fence. The cows from the adjacent ranch got into the golf course. Probably 50 or so and a few bulls. They refused to move and the bulls were pretty upset when a ball got near them. Back 9 only. I guess they loved the grass in the rough plus mellowed out in the fairways. My foursome moved the ball a lot that day. You could walk up to the cows, not the bulls. I guess they rectified the situation. Cows in a field are actually pretty big and scary.

Where is that? It looks like Deep Cliff in Cupertino, CA.
