n May 2025, many of us have decided to participate in the 30-Day Golf Coach4aday Challenge. Each day the goal is to share something about a particular golf course, golf equipment, or to actually get on the course and play a few holes. Golf is the only sport where you can be furious, humbled, and ecstatic—all in the span of one hole, and still call it “relaxing.” It’s a game where you are cajoling and chasing a tiny ball into a gopher hole. For many it becomes a lifelong obsession and an excuse to buy outrageous pants and the latest driver.
Today my golf observation is on GEESE on a golf course.
This challenge will not be for everybody but there are plenty that enjoy the game despite not being anywhere close to playing at a high level. That includes me.
Golf 30-Day Challenge Guidelines
As with previous challenges, participants are encouraged to adapt the guidelines to fit their own circumstances. If you can, commit to getting out on the golf course—but if that’s not in the cards, share a story about a favorite course or a piece of gear you love (or love to hate).
- Record something about your day on the course or talk about a golf course or piece of equipment.
- Share with a challenge partner if you have one.
- Join the conversation by posting on social media with the hashtag #Coach4adayChallenge
Day 11-Geese
Canadian Geese have adapted to North Carolina. Once considered an exclusive migratory species many take up residence year-round.
Geese are attracted to North Carolina golf courses because of the wide-open grassy areas, which provide ideal grazing grounds, and the proximity to water hazards, which offer safe nesting and resting spots. The mild climate and manicured landscapes make these courses perfect year-round habitats for resident and migratory geese alike.
Over the past week at our local golf course, you can find a gaggle of geese protecting their goslings.
Our course superintendent has been dealing with a problem on one of the greens where the geese have been using the putting service as an outhouse. He has deployed the services of a decoy coyote to get them to find another restroom. When I and another member of the Lumberton Dew Sweepers initially saw Mr. Wiley Coyote we were fooled. When I posted the photos below online several followers did a double take and actually thought it was a live coyote.
In fairness to date the geese have been duped and have stayed away from this green adjacent to a pond.
