At a golf course in Brisbane, players have an added incentive to hit shots clear of the water – a lake full of stranded sharks.

A group of eight- to 10-foot-long bull sharks have been a feature of Carbrook Golf Club golf course since it was flooded by water from a nearby river.

When the flood waters drained away, players noticed that some new aquatic residents had moved into lake near the 14th green.

Although the sharks mainly eat pond fish, warning signs have been posted around the lake to deter members from going in to retrieve lost balls.

Well, as long as they don’t have frickin’ laser beams on their heads...

The new Harold Ramis movie: Caddyshark. Carl Spackler (Bill Murray) going after the varmint sharks like Captain Ahab. And of course the scene with Judge Smails boat will be far, far bloodier.

Bull sharks have been spotted as far up the Mississippi River as St Louis. And they are very aggressive!

They need a big octopus.

Sounds like a job for Greg Norman.

Sea Bass with laser beams are very dangerous.

Bull Sharks have a fierce reputation that is well deserved. All the of the Cold Coast canals have Bull Sharks in them at some time or other - there have been some people taken by sharks while swimming in them.

Mutated sea bass?

Lost balls? Must all be Republicans.

This type od shark is the greatest threat to humans because it lives and hunts in the surf, especially at the mouth of fresh waterways, and is the only shark that can survive in fresh water.

Big surprise for the diver that goes in there to retrieve lost balls.......

It's only a little one

Just when you thought it was safe to go in the water, idiots have been dumping their pets into Texas lakes. This summer an alligator was found in a lake near Austin and a little kid caught a piranha at a state park near Houston.
