MUST SEE VIDEO: Gator Snatches Ball on Florida Golf Course
KSBW ^ | May 30, 2022 | Chelsea Robinson

A group was enjoying a day at a Florida golf club when this gator decided he had to get in on the action.

It happened Sunday at Plantation Bay Golf & Country Club in Ormond Beach, according to Mike Harb, who shot the video.

Harb says in the beginning the gator just had the golf ball in his mouth, and briefly spit it out, before once again snatching it up.

The group walks towards the gator as the reptile walks further away from them.

"Chase him closer to the hole that way, just have him drop it in the hole," one man said.

Rule 8.1, paraphrased: “play the ball as it lies”

Now that’s a hazard. Two strokes, plus an arm or a leg penalty…

LOL!

If the gator did drop it in the hole, would it count?

“I think so.”

Ball must be replaced at original spot.

Many years ago I was playing golf on Cape Cod—it was a very windy day and my hooked drive took off into a pasture and hit a cow.

It dropped right under the cow, and the cow did not want to move to let me hit the ball.

I had no clue what the rule-book said about that....I called it an “unplayable lie”....

;-)

One time, at Doral a gator tried to get my balls.

Thank the Lord for the nine iron.

It’s bad enough when they go for your leg.

Especially the middle one.

Would have been really funny if the gator had dropped the ball in the hole for him. I guess he’d have to count that as a gator in one.
