So true. We leave them alone....they leave us alone. Just respect them and keep pets and children away from the pond edge.

spotted a 7-8 footer on the bank between the 4th and 5th hole on Heron Monday.

If teeing off on the 5th hole the gator is behind you just below the bridge

When we first moved here a man from Fish and Game said about alligators. "If you are in the Southeast US and there is fresh water assume that there is an alligator present". One of the most frightful things I've seen recently was a family exercising their dog in a pond near El Camino Real. I have seen gators in that pond. I couldn't stop because of traffic so I hope the dog is still with them.

Yes! There's one in Lake Miramar and I've seen them in Lake Sumter, but the weirdest location is in the pond just east of Walmart on 466. There are two about 4-5 feet long. One or both can frequently be seen sunning on the 'mud bar' near the bank closest to Walmart.

This little guy was waiting his turn at the 4th hole on Truman two days ago.
