	Bunker Prints Point to Golf Lynx Dundee Courier 31st December 2007

DUNDEE GOLFERS were within a whisker of spotting a big cat at the weekend after discovering huge paw prints at Camperdown Golf Course.
In the bunker at the 14th fairway there were numerous prints measuring around six inches in the sand.
The icy weather had frozen the prints, keeping their shape.
One golfer said, “I’m normally really sceptical about these kinds of things, but the prints were just enormous.
“These were so large that when I got home, I looked up a book with different paw prints.
“I went back to the course with a measuring tape and they were somewhere between five and a half and six inches long.
“It’s just extraordinary—the prints are huge.”
This year sightings have been reported in Angus, Perth, Fife and Dundee.
Big cat investigator Sandy Smith investigated the Camperdown area before, believing a black, leopard-type animal is on the loose north of Dundee.
He is awaiting photos of the latest prints.
Last year Mr Smith, of the Scottish Big Cat Investigation, said he had spoken to many people who had seen a big cat in the Sidlaws.
He believes the cat could be one released by a Dundee woman who rescued it in the 1970s. Mr Smith said he received 60 or 70 sightings in Dundee last year and has personally seen four.
“Big beasts” usually black, continue to be spotted in Dundee and Angus, although clear photographic proof has yet to be received.
