Default White Pelicans Targets
This has happened before but today at the Lopez Driving Range at 8AM there were easily 20-30 White Pelicans grouped together in the water just short of the island targets. Approximately 160 yards out / center range. I did not see anyone specifically aiming at the Pelicans but the majority of us are not accurate enough to always avoid a group at least 25 yards wide, just sitting there. The golf staff at Lopez needs to close the range and send a staff member to the island to "encourage" these beautiful birds to re-locate to a safer area. I am sending this request to the Golf Division via the GolftheVillages villages.com website and ask them for a reply and a solution to this ongoing problem.
