A recently renovated Byron Nelson and Joe Finger design, Grapevine is one of the most popular courses in an area known for great golf.
Well, a number of years ago a small, scrappy Jack Russel terrier began frequenting the fairways of Grapevine Golf Course. Players started calling her "TeeTime", and she quickly became fixture; helping keep the course clean by chasing away pesky geese... and accepting offerings of food from golfers and staff in return. It was a perfect arrangement until a run-in with a coyote, a storm drain and an overzealous Animal Control Authority nearly killed the courageous canine.
Grapevine golfer John Dewey tells her harrowing story at JackRusselLover.com and it's quite an adventure. Fortunately the ending is upbeat. So much so that "TeeTime" is now "back on course" and ... has even earned her own Facebook page.
Aw cute story!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the post, Patricia.
ReplyDeleteTeeTime is so cute... She reminds me very much of Kukla, a little stray who became a member of our family in Greece. She was a terrier/mix and like TeeTime she had attitude. (*-*)
ReplyDeleteI've heard of courses using dogs to control geese. Normally they're herding dogs. In fact I think I read somewhere that Pebble Beach has a Boarder Collie on its payroll. Lucky dog. ;)
ReplyDeleteIn the last season we have created some serious attempt to complete the Audubon Qualifications for Peach Variety Tennis Course. At first look the process seemed complicated but over the last few several weeks we have damaged away at much of the work.The best seo siteGarmin Golf
