<div>Gorse is incredibly thorny; imagine giant patches of the plant version of porcupines eating your ball if the trajectory of your shot is off.  Guess it adds an extra challenge!  </div>

<div>P.S. When in flower, gorse smells divinely of coconut (go figure). <br>

Subject: [MAIPC] Gorse hurts professional golfer<br>

<br>

Sergio Garcia, playing at the British Open, hurt his shoulder when he hit a gorse bush in frustration (<a href="https://www.thescore.com/pga/news/1336659" target="_blank">https://www.thescore.com/pga/news/1336659</a>). Never thought I’d see the day when an invasive plant rivaled the invasive Asian carp in causing injury to humans. What will it be next? <br>
