Anyone encounter this scenario which golfing here in FL?

Yikes, that a large swine. .
My home is on the fairway for the 6th hole on Churchill Greens golf course. In December 2017 wild pigs did $2,400 in damage to my sod under the giant old oak tree. Wild pigs are nocturnal, so they were not spotted in the daytime. However, their hoof prints were on the over-turned damaged sod.

The area between the 5th and 6th holes borders farmland. The Villages District Government hired a trapper, who set up a trap near the fence to the farmland. They did not tell me that they had caught any wild pigs.
