Right next to the maintenance shop and right of # 15 fairway, we have four new additions to our red fox population. These little guys were first spotted a couple of weeks ago and we've been regularly entertained ever since. Our Equipment Manager, and sports photographer for the Ripon Record, Gary Jensen took this great photo.

Izzo, as usual, has been making her rounds and doesn't seem to understand why the parent foxes have become more aggressive. She's got nipped on the tail a couple of times, but no harm, no foul.

Friday, after the first round of the invitational, I was heading back to the shop after an exhausting day. We started at 5:00 am to get the course prepared and finished around 6:30 pm after an afternoon mowing of fairways, tees, approaches, collars, and some rough. I was worn out, but I ended up sitting in my cart on and watching these playful characters for 30 minutes. Here is a good example of their behavior shot by Assistant Superintendent, Rob Williams.
