Golfers in Palmetto, Florida, could be forgiven for thinking they had stumbled off the course and into Jurassic Park at the weekend. While playing a typical Sunday game at Buffalo Creek Golf Course, Charles Helms was able to get a video of a monster alligator casually strolling across the course. The dinosaur-like gator looked even bigger when another man came into the frame to take a picture - but apparently he is quite a regular sight in the area.

This is typical media “news” to grab an audience.
When you read the article it’s apparent that the gator has been there for years, growing all the time. Yes, it’s big, but it’s not news to anyone except the reporter.

General Jack Ripper used to carry a .30 caliber M-60 in his golf bag for just such situations.
He was prepared!

Judge Smails was unavailable for comment, but the course grounds keeper was overheard to say “So much for the gopher problem”.

For those of us who share the local biome with alligators, they won’t bother you if they aren’t hungry (which is 99% of the time) and if you leave them alone. Leash your dogs and toddlers when coming anywhere near retention ponds and lakes, and you have nothing to worry about.
