I think this happens because most people assume that if there is an alligator in the water close to where their golf ball is they will be able to see it.
I'm no expert but would assume that part of the reason these animals are so successful in their habitat is that they have developed the ability to remain absolutely still for long periods of time and they are able to camouflage themselves in water quite well.
Don't assume there are no gators just because you don't see one.
