This hidden surprise lurking in an Arizona golf hole is as terrifying as it gets
The best part of golf is that you can start a round and have no clue how the day is going to go. The worst part of golf is that you can start a round and have no clue how the day is going to go.
You can get a hole-in-one, shatter a window, eat the best hot dog in your life, drink too many beers, get in a fight, make new friends or end friendships … all over a few hours. And yet, nothing will stick with you quite like reaching for a golf ball and ending up face-to-face with one of these.
“Welcome to tarantula season in northern Arizona,” posted Emily Casey, Assistant Superintendent at Seven Canyons Golf Club. “Better check the cup before reaching in to grab your ball 🕷️”
What we have here is nightmare fuel and one of the worst surprises you’ll ever have on the course. Imagine it: You’re talking to your friend, taking your ball out of the cup looking the other way and then you encounter one of these tarantulas. You’d probably never “putt it out” again, to be safe.
To make matters worse, this isn’t just one or two random hairy arachnids. As Casey put it, it’s “Tarantula Season” out there.
“You’re more than welcome to come take one, (or two or three or twenty),” Casey added. “We will have hundreds around the property in the coming weeks.”
Tarantulas are rarely poisonous and sometimes found as pets, but this still doesn’t make us want to fly out to Seven Canyons Golf Club right now during the Arizona Blond tarantula mating season. Maybe when the spiders head back to their burrows. Even then, it’s a risky proposition.
