Overgrown hooves of springbok in habituated areas

Chris Blignault:

Good morning all,
What can cause overgrown hooves in a herd of springbuck? They live on a golf estate and spend most of their time on the lush fairways...
I thought possibly due to soft surfaces? Could genetics play a role? Diet?

 

Henry Labuschagne:

Get them off the greens in the rough to start with.
