Ruth Higgins of Oakland, ME Many years ago Waterville Country Club (located in Oakland) had one or more fox families playing for free at the club. Of particular interest were the antics when club members were having a "night golf" tournament. Night golf is played with golf balls containing flourescent tubes in the center. The foxes apparently loved the game, and some golfers got the chance to see their golf balls loping across the fairways, never to return.

As I recall, the foxes also napped in the sand traps and on the bridge that went across the pond on hole number seven.

I guess the creatures finally moved on to "greener" pastures (or fairways), or gave up the game entirely, because after a while, they were not seen again.

I do believe that an article about the Waterville foxes was printed in Sports Illustrated. I don't recall the year, but it certainly was more than fifteen years ago.

For golfers, these golf course creatures just add more meaning to the word handicap.report abuse
