Golfer almost killed by gator!
If true (and I can see no reason to disbelieve it)...this is pretty scary!
Alligator drags golfer into pond, gets foiled by putter; video | GrindTV.com Quote:
It also brings up the point that there are snakes out there too...just waiting to strike. I personally have made it a habit to always have a club in my hand (typically a wedge because of its weight and short length)...if looking for a ball in high grass or near ponds. This guy sounds like he got really lucky. |

Saw it last night on wesh 2. Thought it was strange that the the gator actually grabed him by the ankle.

Whether it is true or not its a good reminder. We all make the same assumption that we will spot a critter before they spot us. I can attest to the fact that this assumption is wrong

I've seen guys taking pictures of gators on a golf course standing a few feet away.
Don't they realize how quickly a gator can move?

Yikes!
Guess I've been quite lucky on the courses so far. The only thing I hit was a Birdie. No Gators yet. Seriously, it is very wise to carry a club with you, esp walking close to brush and of course water. Hasn't happened to me yet though - always on the fairways and greens. If I'm lyin' let lightening strike me right here and now.

Good job he didn't move his ball as he was taken. A penalty stroke as well would have been a bummer!
