Not anymore. As posted, the gator was not visible and it leaped out of the water. Again, speaking for myself, I wouldn't have thought that a gator would have been that aggressive to have been hiding so to speak and then spring out to attack.
I thank the OP for this wake up call.

I agree with all of the quoted post. I have played the same way
forever , now will heed the warning. I can remember one time hitting a ball out of the water and onto a green in TV. The ball was in the water, one or 2 dimples breaking the surface of the water. I had to take a shoe off and step into the water. I am glad the 'restaurant' was closed that day
Might be time to get a caddy? Someone to send into the the waters edge before you proceed so you can safely try to save par?
