Golf and nature. Aka monkey eating durian.

Golf is a wonderful sport. You get to get to see all the wonderful flora and fauna.


You get to see the whole range, from the pretty stuff like herons, to the nasty stuff like humongous monitor lizards and snakes. Once we even saw a wild puppy who wasn't with its mum. It was sniffing around in a bunker and did a poo there (considered the ultimate hazard).


And even if you don't see them, they can see you. And get a taste of you. Gotten multiple nasty bites which swell up, itches and takes weeks to go down. Or the painful wasps stings by the hymenoptera that hurt like hell and causes the leg to swell.



And during durian season you can see the ubiquitous monkey eating the fallen durian. And in the evening you can see the rarely spotted flying lemur. Saw it once in the car park, didn't know what it was till I saw it in the papers.


Don't we all love to play golf!

  1. Once my foot got bitten so badly I couldn't wear a lot of my favourite strappy heels for a couple of weeks. Affected my office wardrobe somewhat.

  2. Wow! It must have itched a whole ton!

    1. It did, and caused the whole foot to swell up. But don't think it was as bad as your wasp sting.
