CROCODILE???? NOT AN ALLIGATOR???

[FLNittany]

Yeah - a croc. Plenty of them in FL. I watched one fight a gator at a golf club south of Miami one time.

Just don’t try and play through…

[Fester Chugabrew]

Turn it into a miniature course novelty that eats and sh*ts balls in one stroke.

American Crocodile, they are found throughout the carib and mexico and such. Not as aggressive as a gator, but they are man eaters.

A few years ago, they pulled some Nile Crocs out of the everglades, who knows if there are still more there. People release and smuggle in the most unusual stuff.

Stay out of the water hazards!

Yup, there is an American Crocodile. Not as common as the Alligator though. But, has a badder attitude….

Covid positive crocodile. Extra dangerous.

Haven’t alligators/crocodiles been living in Florida golf course ponds for 90 years? They are often seen during PGA tournaments.

[Yardstick]

But Egizio has given the American crocodile a name — “Crikey.”

Gotta admit that’s a good name.

Hi guy. I hope you are doing well.

“Haven’t alligators/crocodiles been living in Florida golf course ponds for 90 years? They are often seen during PGA tournaments.”

Correct, and you meed a permit to hunt them in August.

The lady needs a new pair of shoes and a purse.

I heard a story.

A golfer and a Game cop run into each other on a Florida golf course, next to a pond. The cop gets to the guy and pulls a gun. “ He says there’s a 🐊 in the pond back up and take a stroke. The golfer replies “Screw that, I play it where it lies.” The croc come out of the pond and grabs the fish cop by the leg and starts dragging the officer toward the pond. The golfer hits his ball and goes to the officer. You gonna use that weapon or go to lunch.

They need to put a mask on it!

[Smellin Salt]

Alligators yes, crocs not so much.

[Vendome]

[rktman]

What, he moved his ball and didn’t take a penalty stroke?
