A family of water buffalo greenkeepers, famous for tending to the rice paddies on one of Vietnam’s top-rated golf courses, has welcomed a new member to the workforce: new-born baby Luna.

The bovine brood -- father Tu Phat, mother Chi Chi and their eldest calf Bao -- sprang to prominence last year as media around the world learned about their roles as “bio-mowers” on the spectacular Sir Nick Faldo Signature Design track.

The threesome have been vital in helping to maintain the elevated status of the layout, which winds its way through tropical jungle, ocean sand dunes and rice paddies and was ranked as the best in Vietnam at the 2019 Vietnam Golf Awards.

They help to manage the seven-hectares of rice fields located right in the middle of the course by eating excess weeds and crops in the area that would otherwise require machinery and manpower to maintain.

And now, with the arrival of Luna who was born in the fall of 2019, they have extra assistance as they strive to keep the course in pristine condition.
