Foxes on the run at golf course

By a stroke of luck, critters make home at Minster links course

By Nancy Allen

MINSTER - A family of red foxes has taken up residence at Arrowhead Golf Club south of the village.

Course superintendent Matt Sherman said one of his workers noticed the den in mid-April in the hollowed-out bottom of a shagbark hickory tree between the second and ninth holes. Upon investigating, Sherman said he saw four little heads peeking out. He would eventually learn the mother fox had six kits in all. [More]
