There's goats at Lahinch and now there's goats at Pasatiempo.

No fewer then 3 previous topics on these wacky goats in the past 45 days ...

You picked a sunny day, these photos are from Sunday and needless to say, the working conditions are sub-par.  Even "management" had unfair conditions, where is Cesar Chavez to organize ...

Mike,

The management looks unhappy!

While I can appreciate what those goats can do, the pictured hillsides look almost totally denuded of vegetation. As someone who lived out there and saw firsthand, how severe those rainy season washouts could be on exposed areas, it would appear those slopes could get significant erosion issues with sustained rainfall. It's only October, the January and February monsoons have even hit their stride. Are they planning anything to stabalize those banks?
"I said in a talk at the Dunhill Tournament in St. Andrews a few years back that I thought any of the caddies I'd had that week would probably make a good golf course architect. We all want to ask golfers of all abilities to get more out of their games -caddies do that for a living." T.Doak
