As most players know, geese on a golf course are not a great combination. With 16 ponds and 40 acres of wetlands at Laurel Creek, it is an ongoing battle to prevent the goose population from exploding.
If you do happen to get near one of their nests, you will find the geese acting like most parents, actively protecting their offspring--or potential offspring. Interestingly, in some cases not everything that they are honking and flapping their wings about is likely to produce goslings:
Yes, not one, but two of the current nests on the course contain golf balls (along with a duck egg in one of them). While not quite a fried-egg lie, it is undoubtedly a birds-nest lie, and the winged spectators won't approve of playing the ball as it lies here. Should you find yourself in this situation, your best option may be to reference Rule 16.1b and take free relief.
