Lots of deer on 17 mile drive, when I lived there I use to ride my road bike to Carmel and back to Monterey, it's the only place I have ever been where the deer don't fear people at all. It's like they know they are protected and dare you to do something to them. You can be standing 3 feet away and they'll just stare at you without a care in the world.

Kind of like all the seals along the California coast line. They're also protected. They don't fear humans at all. I've noticed dozens on boating docks. Would like to know why they're still protected? It seems they are a nuisance. Why is it that? Could someone please explain that to me. Originally from the east coast.

PolkCountyBoy, that's not a golf ball. It's the left marker of the tee box. The right marker is not viewable in this picture. Bill was getting ready to tee off on the 4th hole.

    I'm not sure who wrote the photo caption, but that looks a lot more like the tee box for the par four number 4 hole.

      No interview with Murray? What a waste of space and time.

            Why is it with every photo I see on the web, there is some douche who just HAS to type "shopped"?

            Why is it with every shopped pic posted, there is some gullible douche who believes it's real? Google is your friend.

              Tim's right - it is shopped. I can tell from some of the pixels, and from seeing quite a few shops in my time.

                Why would anyone bother to photoshop something as commonplace as seeing a deer on a golf course? Now if it were a flying gopher I would question it.

                      I can't believe no one has said it yet, so I will:

                        Seals and deer are protected because they are cute and cuddly.  You don't see anybody holding a sign saying save the termites.  People that love animals are biggoted.  They like the cute ones and say to hell with the rest.  Doesn't matter if they are a nuisance, someone just has to think they are loveable.

                          Not really newsworthy, is it? Had it been a groundhog stealing his ball, at least that would have been ironic.
