Pace of Play Issues

Recently I was touring the course and came upon what appeared to be a towel left behind on the #4 green and was surprised to see it start moving.

He or she must have crawled out of the creek leading to the #9 & #1 lake near the bridge on #4 and crawled all the way across the green holding up play all the while. 

Fortunately the group playing the hole warned me about the urination defense mechanism that a turtle deploys upon being picked up, so I grabbed the spraying reptile while holding him or her at bay and put him back in the pond. 

So no animals were harmed, nor any greens keepers urinated on, and play resumed to a normal pace.
