Plenty of shitholes over there. Usually well east of the ocean though obviously.

“Disney World”

Not surprisingly, World has had it’s problems with gators also. Back in 2016, a 2 year old waded into about a foot of water in a lagoon near a resort they never identified and was killed by a gator. Shortly after that there were warning signs posted all over the property.

The four main resorts that border Seven Seas Lagoon, a man made lake reaching about 14 feet in depth where the gator did the deed are:

Disney’s Contemporary Resort, Bay Lake Tower (Disney Vacation Club), Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa and Disney’s Polynesian Resort

Bama fans haven’t feared gators since 2008.

I generally take relief when my ball lands near a gator. We always have a few around the courses in SW Florida. Generally, they aren’t a problem. Only the mamas with babies or a nearby nest pose a threat. When that happens, we relocate them to remote areas in the center of the state.

We have a little bitty 5-6 foot gator hanging out in the pond by our community pool right now. They must come in from the river. I’ve never seen a monster gator like this around here in my neck of NE FL.

That’s President Trump’s pet. He must have lost his MAGA hat.

“If a giant gator walks across the golf course and stops within a club’s length of your ball, what’s the ruling?

Do you have to play it as it lies or can you take relief?”

I think you’re allowed to book it back to the clubhouse for drinks and wait for the gator to exit the course.

“Do you have to play it as it lies or can you take relief?”

I was playing the course at MacDill AFB in south Tampa with my father and another twosome in 1977, and we had a water hazard on our left which I drove around. One of the twosome hit it at the top of the bank of the hazzard so I walked with him. When we got there, on the bank, about a foot from his ball, was about a 9 or 10 footer, sunning himself I guess. The golfer asked the gator if he was playing a titlist 2 90 compression. When the golfer tried to get his ball with a club the gator moved up the bank about a foot and made a sound I was not interested in hearing again. The golfer said two things: to the gator, your ball. As we were backing away, he declared a lost ball and we walked back to the tees. Guess he thought it was safer there. I agree. He hit the provisional well right.

He’ll make a fine pair of golf shoes, belt, and golf bag.

All you need to do to develop in SoFla is to dig a bunch of man-made lakes (like in the video) and use the spoils to build up the home sites. Don’t ever buy in SoFla in a development w/ no lakes. You’ll have a wet back yard, unless we’re in a drought.

Chances are you already relieved yourself if that gator got close to you. I would get a few of those and drop them off at the next Antifa/BLM building burning.

I know I would be relieving myself.
