OK
So, we're on hole # 15,
Searching for a ball that probably rolled into a small canyon.
Nmbr-1 takes the cart to tee it up again.
While I walk from the fairway, to a cement cart path to continue looking.
It's then, I catch movement out of the corner of my eye.
A rattlesnake.
Shoulder high.
Giving me a slight warning rattle.
Whoa.
My heart jumped.

Using a 5 wood, Nmbr-1, nudged him to a spot off the fairway.
This is when he coiled, clearly annoyed.

With so much adrenaline flowing through me,
I chucked 4 balls into the canyon.
Ah, but, he was dazzling.

Happy Thanksgiving
Company's at the door.
