Snakes are a non-issue overall. We are always aware of our surroundings and are aware when we move the cases of water we store for Hurricane Season. We found some very impressive Snake Skins when we were sprucing up the front of the house yesterday. Seems they like to hang out around the Ten Pink Flamingoes in the front yard.
Speaking of GE, in his backyard, I over shot a green with an approach shot. Walked over the green, down to the swamp weeds and was met by a monster. My guess, 4-5 inches in diameter & 4-5 feet long. I could feel the old sphincter pucker on that one. Bye Bye Callaway ball.
