Medinah, Du Page Cty, Illinois
Aug 1985
Account
Andrea and Gaspardo and Wistar playing golf at Medina Country Club. Gasparado saw from 13th green a black creature walking along a fence line. From the 14th tee all three saw it, under 200 yards away and 40 feet below, about 20 feet on the other side of a 100-foot wide, weed-filled creek, peering at them from behind a large tree. One of them hit golf balls towards it, and it walked about 20 yards along the fence, returned to the tree, climbed about 10 feet, jumped from the tree over a 7 foot fence, loped across Medinah Road, crossed another fence and entered woods by the creek. Two other golfers who had come up saw it leave.
