We found him scooting across the 17th green on a golf course. This is not your standard hazard, like a sand bunker or pond.
Don't ask what that big fat hairy body is for. I assume it's to store up all the poison he uses to bite and kill people.
Carol, a lot braver than her husband, got down to look him eye to eye.
But when he got really close, she took up her putter and exited towards the next tee. Sorta high-steppin', she was.
Blame her?

I don't blame her one bit! I would never have gotten that close anyway!
I'm sure to a male of the species, she looks really good.
Before, of course, she devours him.
My reaction would have involved the putter, too...
r.e.:
As golfers say, I'm not sure the putter would have been "enough club." Something a bit longer would have been my preference. Like, perhaps, the proverbial "ten-foot pole!"

Yuk. I wonder what kind of spider that is.
My guess would be that it's the ugly, HAIRY kind. But what do I know about arachnids?
John
I always have to dispose of spiders in our house, so maybe next time a I'll use a glof club for my weapon of choice.
Nan,
You may want to re-think that if the spider happens to be on or near a window. Otherwise, swing away!

RE: this post
EEEEWWWWWWWWWW! That was really disgusting. How good is her telephoto lens (e.g. how close did she actually have to get for that close-up)?
RE: your last post
My toilet has been functioning perfectly, and it has NOT ONCE leaked! ;)
Yet another reason to live somewhere where it gets nice and cold a few months every year!
:-D
Kirsten,
Are you trying to tell me that New York State doesn't have spiders??
Ri-i-iight! Now let's talk about February golf.
:)
John
Is that a tarantulla? (Can't tell how big it is with nothing for reference.) Anyway, Carol? You are one macha lady!
Candace,
No, it's not. We do have them this far north, but rarely. The last time I saw one was when I lived in Kingsville, TX. This guy (gal?) was MUCH smaller than a tarantula, and the tarantulas I've seen are much blacker and hairier. When I posted this I commented to Carol that it's a shame I hadn't dropped a quarter on the ground beside this (for size reference) when she was taking the pictures. In my memory its bulbous body was about the size of a quarter, but I think in reality it was closer to a dime.

John, congratulations - you won! (see mah blog)
:)
