Florida – everyone talks about the Gators – my dad was always walking into the scrub for a ball – I kept trying to tell him to leave the ball and take a free drop. I had an eastern diamond back surprise the shit out of me – I was about 2 feet away standing there sweeping my club through the edge of tall stuff – then I hear the rattle !!!

Who is gonna eat them? I’m more worried about venomous ones

Come to Australia. You don’t need a sign.
Plus it’s venom not poison.

Venomous snakes, though maybe they’re poisonous if you bit into one.
Dude, I was playing Tahquitz Creek desert course in Palm Springs a few years back. Went into some sandy shrub brush to look for my sliced drive and heard a LOUD and aggressive rattle and just skeeted out quick to the fairway for an advantageous drop. Not worth it lol.

Our first guy’s golf trip we went to the Fairfield Glen area in Tennessee. Forget which course it was, but when the starter was giving us the rundown of the course. He tells us that one of the holes has a severe left to right slope in the fairway. Says if you hit right or not far enough left it will roll down the slope into the brush and to not look for it as there are rattlesnakes in there!

The hospital near you will have the correct antivenin available as long as you bring the snake with you to identify so don’t sweat it

I don’t know why anyone would be afraid of “poison.” Just don’t eat it or pick it up.
Venom on the other hand?

Ha! I lived in Austin, & they always told us not to try & find your balks because of Rattlers

Playing a private club dragon ridge in Las Vegas with a buddy. We are from the east coast. On a par 3 we both hit our tee shots right into a dry creek bed. As we drive up there must have been damn near 100 balls in this creek bed, mostly pro v1 and tp5 we say “ are these guys so rich they don’t even bother grabbing their balls?” We sift through the goldmine of balls looking for ours. Eventually we just grab a random ball and drop. On the way to the next hole we see the signs.. “warning venomous snake area” 😳
There were rabbits running all over that course. Zero rabbits in the creek beds

I mean I’d take snakes over deer ticks.

There’s actually no snakes. An old bloke who lives next to the course out the sign up and just scavenges balls from there once a week.

I’ve seen a large alligator sunning itself on the cart path at a course I play in Charleston SC. After seeing that, I don’t even think about retrieving a lost ball from around the waters edge

If I check in at a course and they tell me that anything in the deep rough is a free drop because of snakes, before he finishes the sentence my trunk will be closed and my tires squealing.
I don’t like snakes

This looks like a sign someone would put up if their business was reselling Pro V’s and Chrome’s.

I got very light headed playing in Arizona and the person I was playing with, also from NY, guided me off the fairway and sat me down infront of tall grasslike stuff.
They then went to get me water and I could swear the ground around me was moving and it made me so queasy, I thought I was going to faint. Buddy came back with the water and just froze. It turns out that the ground was in fact moving.
I guess this snake was so concerned for my well being that it came by to check up on me, felt everything was ok and went about its merry way.

Damn was hoping to catch a snack lol 😂

When I played on the US Navy course at Subic Bay in the Philippines, there were places the caddies would look for balls and places they would not. The highlight was a Philippine Cobra on the 17th green one afternoon. Gave it a wide berth.

If you eat the snake venom is it then poisonous?

Welcome to golfing in Australia.
I’ve had far too many near misses. I stomp really heavily through the rough whenever I go in there on some courses now.

What exactly is a poisonous snake?
If it’s that thick, I’ll take the loss.
