re: Chased by cottonmouths (video)

I was playing golf on the northshore decades ago and hit a shot into the woods so I went in after it. I always had a long iron on me when I did that because it was near a swampy area and I saw cottonmouths there in the past. I got to where my ball was and noticed a non-venomous snake coming at me from my right. I also saw one heading towards me from the left and a third coming from straight ahead. All 3 were non-venomous but it freaked me out because it seemed coordinated and I wondered if there were others I didn’t see. I got my ball and left.
