If you're a "hack", save the money and play Top Flites or Pinnacles :1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

This is why we cant have nice things! That audio equipment is expensive.

Boston area company. I buy local! ;)

In an article I read ,the witness said he was removing the fish from the hook,whivh would make sense

Removal of Alligators that reach over 6 feet
 

I lived in a community in Bonita and they removed any gators over 6 feet in length. I have seen some over 10 feet in ponds in TV while golfing.
I am in favor or removal... we have a nice community and I often have grand children down to visit. we can tell them about the dangers all day long but they are kids.

And I have seen them removing large gators in TV as well.

They are part of the environment, they live there. Simply keep away from the water, that's all. They don't deserve to be killed and that's exactly what happens when they are removed. They are a danger but they are not a threat when common sense is applied.

At least we get a free drop from a gator, although I'm not sure how many club lengths that is and measuring the first several is a bit dicey......

True and very well said

More info about the victim. He was 52 and visiting from New Jersey.
Was warned to beware of the alligators. Did not understand that alligators attack unprovoked. Did not see the alligator until it was attacking him.

If that alligator was removed, this would not have happened. This WAS preventable.

You are a "hack" and waste Titleist balls???? Head to the bargain bin and save some money. The first time I went to Myrtle Beach was long long ago with a group that lost their 12th player at the last minute, so I was asked by my brother to go, out of sheer desperation. I'd been playing for <6 months, and a really good day was breaking 100! I took 12 18-ball packs of golf balls.... At the end of the week, I came home with around 2-3 sleeves..... Target courses with high grass past the first cut of rough, like Prestwick ate me up. Gators were common as were copperheads, free drop.... leave the ball behind even when you can see it.

Judging by the comments, I guess everyone feels fishing should be banned state wide. The old saying is if there is water, there is most likely a gator.

Well I think the DNR would remove the gator & locate it somewhere else our have the gator destroyed for safety!

Are you serious?! Do you know how many gators live in TV? So you now know THAT gator? The perp? Unreal

Absolutely it was preventable. If the visitor from New Jersey had heeded the warning, paid more attention to his surroundings, and not reached towards the water it would not have happened.
