The crows can be quite a nuisance on the course. Whether they're swiping your sandwich, hot dog or other snack while you leave your bag to hit your shot or squawking for hours on end while they chase one of our eagles around the course or empty out an entire garbage can at a tee, they are downright annoying. Well, here's another reason I hate the darned crows...

| bunker liner being destroyed by crows |
Yup, the pesky crows have been pulling out our bunker liners from the fairway bunkers on #1 one little piece at a time. They are using these stolen pieces of bunker liner for their nests. I know some will think that they are brilliant for doing so, but it still doesn't change my opinion of these vandals and thieves. They leave us quite a mess to cleanup each and every morning as they leave liner pieces scattered all around and within the bunkers.
Anyway, now that I've vented about the darned things, we do have a plan to hopefully stop them from continuing to destroy the liners. We will be removing the liner from the edges about 4' back into the bunker. It seems as though this is where they are focusing on removing (stealing) it from, likely because it is quite shallow around the edges. Bunkers typically have 2" of sand around the edges and 4" in the bellies or flats of the bunker. Being that those are the only 2 bunkers on the course with liners so we don't anticipate it taking too long to complete this task. They were installed to help prevent stones in the subsurface from migrating up into the bunker sand. Hopefully this will not become a problem around the edges when we remove the liner, but it makes sense to do so before the crows complete it for us anyway.
Oh yeah, Reason #44 Why I DESPISE Crows:
