Giant alligator strolls onto Florida golf course
Generally when most people hit the greens, the last thing they expect to see is a 4.6 metre long reptile wandering on to the fairway. For one group of golfers, however, that’s exactly what happened when they visited the Buffalo Creek Golf Course in Florida recently.
“I didn’t know if we were being punked or something,” golfer Charles Helm told ABC Action News after a giant alligator wandered onto the course on his way to a nearby lake.
According to a worker at the course’s shop, Wendy Schofield, this isn’t the first time the massive reptile has made an appearance. “He doesn't bother anybody and they don't bother him, he's like a mascot for the course,” she told News 3.
Take a look at the golfers’ stunned reaction in the video above. I think I’d run for it!
