Wait! Wait. Don't bet the ranch. I read too fast.
The web site said, "In 2009 a Beaufort, South Carolina, golfer really did lose part of an arm to an alligator while attempting to recover his ball."
The site showed photos of the snorkeler incident.
Don't look at this if you don't want to see dismemberment.

I hope you haven't bet yet.
The site had photos of another incident that was the snorkeler.
I would like to tell you the site was confusing, but I can't. I was the one who was confused.
