Golf Course Plagued by Cute, Tiny Frogs

    A English golf course has been hit with the hoppiest plague. Every morning, the groundskeepers of East Horton Golf Club arm themselves with brooms to sweep out the hundreds of tiny frogs that cover the 17th green each night.

    The pesky amphibians are common grass frogs. The animals are on the rise this year due to a booming breeding season in the damp weather of the past spring.

    These grass frogs sprang from a lake behind the 17th hole, and have quickly spread across the course. The critters have been spotted throughout the course, but seem to favor the 17th hole.

    Groundskeepers may find the frogs to be a tad annoying, but mean them no harm. The crew sweeps the frogs from the hole each morning to ensure they don't meet an untimely end during the green's daily mowing.

    Luckily, the frogs have an early tee time. Most of the amphibians hop off the course before golfers arrived to play, but a few like to hang around and watch the action.

    Overall, the course isn't too concerned by their new guests. Groundskeepers say that they have already noticed a decline in the frogs, as the young hop on to continue their lives beyond the greens.
