Ticks on the Golf Course
Tick awareness on the course:
A few of our staff have encountered ticks on the golf course. Ticks will bite like a mosquito, but also burrow into your skin. It is most important to remove the tick quickly. Ticks like other biting insects are part of our environment. Protection from these insects comes down to more awareness than insect spray repellents. Ticks tend to dwell in forested areas, i.e. high grasses, wooded areas, ravines, creeks, etc. The best deterrent for ticks is to stay out of their environment. They will often be encountered when looking for lost golf balls. Please use caution when entering these areas.
