Greetings Fellow Golfers,
Congratulations go out this month to John Klemmer (pictured) who aced number 12 on April 12th. Witnesses include James
(Monkey Grip) Griffin, Scott Learn and Danny Warren. Way to go John!!!. Also we want to welcome our newest members who
joined in April. They include Jodie Woodruff, Victor Artis, Chris Morrissey, Byron Ash, Brian Murgas, Ed Spengler, Michael Doe,
Jeff Nolen, Avery Faulkner, Jay Davis, Don Miller, Chuck Lively and John Twitty. Welcome to the Goldsboro Municipal Golf
Course Family! On Thursday, April 16th, we held our first for the year, but 13th overall, Shootin’ da Bull. Because of ‘Cart Path
Only’, we held a ‘Reverse Par 3’ Tournament. Great time was had by all. Food and fellowship was great. Congratulations to the
team of James (Monkey Grip) Griffin, Scott Learn, Scott McDonough and Croc for shooting a blistering 5 under, 22. Next event to
be held May 21. Hopefully we will be able to do a ‘3 Club’ Tournament. Thanks to Carolyn of the world famous CJ’s Grill for
coming back on her day off to cook for us! Everyone should have noticed by now, but our resident Bald Eagles are back and raising baby(s). A few interesting facts about the American Bald Eagle: With a 7 ft. wing span, a weight of 7-15 lb., and an overall size
of 28-38 in., the bald eagle is one of the largest raptors in the world. Living near a constant source of water, bald eagles feast on
fish, ducks, snakes and turtles. They will also eat rabbits, muskrats, (squirrels on #14?) and dead animals. Utilizing their acute
sense of sight and powerful talons, bald eagles attack their prey by swooping down on them at an angle. They can reach speeds of
up to 100 mph when diving. Once they capture their prey, they use their hooked beak to pull flesh out before eating it. At around 45 years old, bald eagles will choose a mating partner through a courtship procedure. The courtship includes numerous calls and aerial displays. Once coupled, the two birds will mate for life. Only in the case where one eagle dies or disappears will the other one
find a new mate. A mating pair produces up to three eggs a year, though it is not likely that all three will survive. Both parents take
turns incubating the eggs. While one is incubating, the other searches for food or more nesting materials. After a little over a month
of incubation, the eggs hatch. Bald eagles are not born with their distinctive brown and white look. When baby eaglets hatch, their
entire bodies are covered with light gray feathers. Around 3 weeks, their plumage takes on a brown coloration. Finally, at 4-5 years
old, they acquire the distinctive brown and white color pattern. We have been truly blessed by these wonderful birds choosing
Goldsboro Municipal Golf Course to raise their young. This is the fourth year they have been here. We want to keep them coming
back. I want to ask everyone to please give them room and the respect they deserve. Normally while playing golf they are very happy doing their everyday activities, but if you do want to observe them, please do it from a distance and stay on the cart path side of
#14.
