Our Resident Gopher Specialist

At just about every golf course throughout the world there is some kind of pest that plagues each course. Whether it is some kind of rodent or insect or other animal I would assure you that what ever the pest it can really be a pain on the superintendent and his staff.
At Monterey Pines we have two pests that cause us grief on a daily basis. The first being the gopher and the second being the mole. This past winter our resident "Gopher Specialist" Mr. Hung Huynh set out to make a dent in our gopher population.



Here's Hung with his recent catch. He only uses traps and his keen hunting skills!

Though we will realistically never eradicate our gopher and mole populations it sure is nice to feel like we are getting the better hand on our situation.
