If there is something that gives me so much joy, it’s to have wild antelope walking around on the Golf Course.
One of my favourite would have to be the Sable…
The head-and-body length is typically between 190 and 255 cm (75 and 100 in). Males reach about 117–140 cm (46–55 in) at the shoulder, while females are slightly shorter. Males typically weigh 235 kg (518 lb) and females 220 kg (490 lb).
The sable antelope has a compact and robust build, characterized by a thick neck and tough skin. It has a well-developed and often upright mane on its neck, as well as a short mane on the throat. Its general colouration is rich chestnut to black. Females and juveniles are chestnut to dark brown, while males begin darkening and turn black after three years.
As it can be seen these are all not quite 3 years old yet.
Both sexes have ringed horns which arch backward. In females, these can reach 61–102 cm (24–40 in), while in males they are 81–165 cm (32–65 in) long.
these are still growing…
Yet they remain so regal and tough looking even at this age…
They do make a few impressions on the greens, but I can live with that…
This one seems to be checking the view from the tee box…
I do hope they live long and happily on the course..
