This story on Yahoo sports caught my eye this morning...from the Austailian PGA.

Golfers this year were greeted by a giant tail-flipping, roaring replica of a Tyrannosaurus Rex dinosaur between the ninth green and 10th tee, part of billionaire mining magnate Palmer's plans to turn the resort into a theme park.

''I'm astonished. I never thought I'd see a dinosaur on a golf course,'' Zhang said. ''During the practice round its eyes were moving and his tongue looked, well, almost real. It certainly makes the course look different.''

Seems a little odd, I know it's an advertisement for a theme park but, a little Putt-Puttish to me.

Nice reptile! This guy stalks me all the time on those downhill four foot putts for par!! By the way, first round leader of the Australian PGA sports a FJ/Titleist hat, Daniel Popovic...Another shing example of FJ power and presence!

This came up on GC yesterday. One of the commentators even mentioned they should move the host course. Look out Jurasik park, playing through here....

i understand why it is there and maybe some of these smaller tourneys/tours need something gimmicky, but to me, this doesn't belong at a golf tournament.
