Goose poo is nasty. Didn't Patton's speech to the 7th Army before the Sicily campaign have a reference to something like Patton wanting his troops to go through the German army like crap through a goose? Golf greens by necessity must be cut unbelievably short, some as close as 1/16 of an inch, yet the grass is lush and dense. I don't know how greenskeepers do it but it is a wonder.

<<The lanes >> Fairways. <<Then the perimeter of the hole was trimmed down to an inch or so. >> Fringe or frog hairs. <<But the central area of the hole was this awesome quarter-inch nap of dense grass. >> Green. Actually greens are very expensive to make and maintain if done right.

>>Goose poo is nasty.<< Amen. Goose goo story - when I worked in Annapolis at the Westinghouse facility on the Bay, we had a volleyball court set up next to the main building. In the fall, we got a huge number of Canada geese setting up housekeeping. One of our engineers, a rather recent transplant from India, loved to play volleyball. At lunchtime one day, he got his volleyball, went to the pit and almost immediately slipped and fell into a massive amount of goose goo. Green was definitely NOT his color.
