nice pictures....

I would not recommend you try to train it

Here is a nice read although I suspect most already know all this. Check out the myths section. I got a kick out of myth #1. I had heard that, I am glad to hear they do not run very far .....

I've heard it called a water retention lake so it doesn't have a name, but here it is on the map. Just off of Morse.

Is it potty trained or do you have to walk it? If you walk it do you allow it to do it's business on others lawn and not pick it up?

There's a rather large gator between the 3rd green and 4th tee at Redfish Run. At least he was basking on the bank Friday afternoon.

Please just look and admire! By no means feed it or take small children and/or animals near the edge of the water. These animals were here long before we were and their natural habitats are being taken away everyday! So, Please let this creature live in peace...!!! Don't do anything that would sign it's death sentence....!

You need to get out and play some golf. I played Pelican behind Cane Garden yesterday and saw about a 5' gator in shallow water near the bank, I think it was the 3rd hole. Last Friday I played the new executive Palmetto, that's on 466A near the new Sweetbay that's being built. He was a small one but was on the grass until I got about 25' away, then he jumped in the water and emerged about 30' out in less than a second.

A good place is on the Cane Garden course, the Alamanda 9 around the 5th and 6th holes there are two lakes connected and I always see at least one or two gators in those ponds. Our best count was a round we played last summer we saw 5 gators in those two ponds. That would be just south of St. Charles between Buena Vista and Baileys Trail where the course crosses St. Charles.
