Default Retrieving golf ball by hand, in gator pond

I'm reminded of this craziness while reading about the child snatched by an alligator at Disney:

Last evening, I was driving south on Morse Boulevard, nearing the roundabout at Mallory CC, and on the golf course to my right two women were in the frizzy grass and muck edge of a pond.

They were not on solid ground......and then I saw a disaster ready to happen. The woman stepped to the very edge of the water, bent over, and stuck her hand in the water to get a golf ball.

I thought surely I was going to witness her falling in.......or a gator attack on her arm and she'd get her hand snapped off or she'd get pulled in.

I do not understand how retrieving a ball can be that important. This was insane.

Maybe you all can reinforce why people should give up a free, found golf ball, or why they should "splurge and spend major money" on another ball by dropping/hitting a new one if it was their ball in the water.

Here's where it happened, around 6-7 p.m. last night:
