Hole 16 : The Canada Goose (Branta Canadensis)

Long dog-leg par 5. The long hitters will have to risk a very tight tee shot to be able to attack the green with their second shot. For the shorter hitter the goal should be to keep the ball on the fairway from the tee, as the fairway becomes wider further along the Hole. Better to be short with the approach to the green, the pound is waiting.

The Canada Goose is recognizable by its white chest and brown body and is regularly seen on the last 7 Holes of the course. Though not indigenous, their numbers are increasing rapidly in the Flanders. These birds feed mainly on plant material, and can often be seen enjoying a snack around the 16th green. When feeding in water, they submerge their heads and necks to reach aquatic plants, sometimes tipping forward like a dabbling duck. Flocks of these birds often feed on leftover cultivated grains in fields, especially during migration or in winter.
