We back on a golf course, but between our house and the golf course is an environmental area with ponds and tall grass surrounding them.
We've even had a small gator in one of the ponds.
There are red stakes between the golf course and the environmental area.
I'm always amazed at how many golfers go into the tall grass looking for golf balls.
It happens many times every day.
