But with all the divots out there sometimes the fastest runner doesnt get very far

If you want to see gators during golf, go to Deer Island in Tavares.

Anyone remember Cody Gribble slapping an alligator’s tail at Bay Hill 4 or 5 years ago?

Yep. I counted 8 on Riley this past saturday. Each one bigger than the last. There are no small gators on Riley. Man I love that track.

Is that why we do not see him anymore?

A few years ago, I was walking down a little hill on one the Champion Courses, to pick up my ball when one appeared. I got up that hill sooo quickly! It came out of the water but did follow me! Saw many alligators on the championship courses, but don't remember any on the 9 hole courses!

Not on the golf course, but on one of the walking trails. There was a four or five footer on the trail. I had to go up and nudge his tail and body with my foot a few times again to go back to the water.
I was afraid he'd bite one of the little dogs
I used to harpoon gators off my airboat in Fort Lauderdale for years, so I'm pretty familiar with them and comfortable
