This story is from north of us but applies to DeAnza's golf course as far as I'm concerned...

I knew that sheep eating oleander was a problem up there, but I didn't know about the drownings. Golf... one of the dumbest and most environmentally-unfriendly pastimes. But golf courses are better than pavement I suppose.

It's surprising how something as serene as golf can have hidden dangers, like sheep eating oleander and even drownings. While not the most eco-friendly, golf courses do offer more green than pavement.best outlets in new York

Oleander poisoning is 2% of the known causes of death, automobile collisions being the highest at 39%.
Great info on BHS here: https://nrm.dfg.ca.gov/FileHandler.ashx?DocumentID=192914&inline
Janene Colby, one of the authors was an incredible resource and advocate for the BHS.
