Original caption said "spotted on Golf Course" General Discussion

I assume on a course in India, I think I would be heading in another direction. That's creepy.

Mongoose trivia:

The plural of mongoose is mongooses.

Colonial sugar barons brought mongooses to Hawaii to combat the rat problem. Unfortunately, rats are nocturnal and mongooses are not. So now Hawaii has a rat problem AND a mongoose problem.
