In a story reminiscent of the Happy Gilmore character Chubbs, a man has lost his arm after being bit by an Alligator while looking for a ball he hit into a water hazard.
The Alligator was promptly killed because, well I guess he bit off a guys arm but in the defense of the Alligator, I’m sure it was pretty hungry. Even though the Alligator lived on the premises of the Upscale Golf Course he never got invited to the Club House for lunch. Small birds while tasty are nothing more than a snack to a 10 ft Alligator.
Kind of brings to mind the ever retracting wilderness as a result of man’s encroachment on it. Alligators migrate to Golf Courses and are then either killed for misbehaving or actually taken away to a preserve.
Overall, it was a bad day for both the Alligator and the man who shanked a ball into the drink. And my friends wonder why I don’t play golf.
