I remember several years ago playing golf at a TPC course just outside of Chaing Mai Thailand and being told not to walk in the long grass because of the cobra's. I had rented clubs and shoes, bought a dozen balls, and had played 9 holes. I had to go back in the pro shop and buy more balls for the second 9 as I only had 5 left.

I decided if the cobra's were in the long grass, I would just walk in the fairway and if that ball was in any rough they could keep it. Probably only a story so they could resell golf balls, but I didn't care. Fairway only for me.
