Golfer uses putter to fight gator at Magnolia Landing

Every golfer needs a putter he can rely on — especially when an alligator decides to play through.

“As I was walking about 5 to 6 feet away from the water I heard a splash, and as soon as I heard that splash I knew it was an alligator, and he got me,” Aarts said.

The gator grabbed Aarts by his right ankle. He wound up on his back and rolled into the nearby water hazard as they struggled.

“I remember having a club in my hand, and as soon as he had me in the water up to my waist, I started hitting him over the head,”

A subtle change of club technique helped turn the tide in Aarts’ favor.

“It’s a good thing I had that putter,” he said. “It’s a good, solid, heavy putter.”

I don't know if the first gif came through. At first it was there, now it isn't. Anyway, here it is from another source...

Naw, gaters don't like dealing with his mud vein.

Alligators.....they make good luggage and tasty appetizers.

I don't know about the luggage part, but I'm sure they'd feel the same about us.

If I were a golfer I would just take a drop at a safe distance from a Florida water trap... like in Alabama.
