<\/p>\nPrincipal Charity Classic: Daisy May helps keep wildlife off Wakonda Club’s golf course<\/p>\n
Daisy May, a silver Labrador at Wakonda Club in Des Moines, runs up to six miles daily to keep geese and squirrels off the golf course alongside assistant superintendent Tyler Kinney<\/p>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tALL RIGHT. THANK YOU SHANNON. NOW I GOT A FUN FACT FOR YOU GUYS. A SINGLE GOOSE CAN EAT 4 POUNDS OF GRASS IN A SINGLE DAY. WHO KNEW? AND WILDLIFE THAT FEEDS ON GRASS IS NOT A WELCOME SIGHT ON A GOLF COURSE. AS COLIN HOLT SHOWS US. THESE GEESE ARE NO MATCH, THOUGH FOR ONE WAKANDA GOLF EMPLOYEE. THIS IS JUST ABOUT THE BUSIEST WEEK OF THE YEAR FOR WAKANDA CLUB ASSISTANT SUPERINTENDENT TYLER KINNEY, UP. GOOD THING HE HAS SOME HELP. THIS IS DAISY MAY. THIS IS OUR SILVER LAB HERE. WAKANDA. DAISY PRETTY MUCH RUNS THIS PLACE. LET\u2019S GO. COME ON. LITERALLY. I MEAN, I THINK SHE PROBABLY RUNS AT LEAST 5 OR 6 MILES A DAY. DAISY MAY JOINED THE WAKANDA STAFF THREE YEARS AGO AS A PUPPY. AND WHILE IT TOOK SOME TIME TO GET HER UP TO SNUFF, KENNY SAYS SHE WAS A PERFECT FIT. TRAINING A DOG TO BE USED TO MACHINES AND USED TO RUNNING AROUND. IT\u2019S KIND OF HARD, BUT I THINK AS A ARE HERE MORE. THEY COME, MORE ADAPTIVE AND I THINK EVERY MORNING SHE\u2019S EXCITED TO GET UP MORE THAN I AM. GOOD THING DAISY\u2019S A QUICK LEARNER. OH MIGHTY KENDALL PALS. COME ON. WHILE SHE\u2019S NOT CART PATH, ONLY DAISY KNOWS TO KEEP HER PAWS OFF THE BUNKERS AND GREENS. AND IF YOU DON\u2019T SEE SQUIRRELS OR GEESE WANDERING ALL OVER THE COURSE THIS WEEK, WELL, YOU CAN THANK DAISY MAY FOR THAT. SO GEESE CAN BE A PROBLEM TO OUR TURF GRASS AND CAN REALLY CAUSE HAVOC. SO SHE KIND OF KEEPS THEM IN THE PONDS. SHE WON\u2019T HURT THEM OR ANYTHING. SHE\u2019S KIND OF HARASSES THEM AND KEEPS THEM IN THEIR PLACE. SO HOW\u2019S THE COURSE LOOKING THIS WEEK? BEING THE OFFICIAL COURSE? DOG CAN BE ROUGH. WHEN SHE GETS HOME, SHE IS INSTANTLY TO THE COUCH NAPPING FOR US TODAY. SHE IS TIRED. SHE\u2019S CHECKED OUT, BUT WITH DAISY MAE, THESE REALLY ARE THE DOG DAYS OF SUMMER. NO, THERE\u2019S NO BAD DAYS BEING A GOLF COURSE, DOG. CULLEN HOLT KCCI, IOWA\u2019S SPORTS LEADER. AND LOOK WHO SHOWED UP TO VISIT US LIVE. THIS IS DAISY MAE. WHAT A PERFECT WAY TO END THIS SHOW. SCOTT. WHAT A GORGEOUS DOG. THE SILVER LAB. AND WHEN YOU WATCH THE GOLF, YOU\u2019LL KNOW WHO\u2019S REALLY IN CHARGE OUT HER\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
