Maybe the alligator 🐊 was a golf pro wanting to share a few tips?

I like a man--or a woman--who can remain calm and focused.

I learned to do that while practicing emergency room medicine.

I don’t golf. But makes fun sense, to me, if Florida golfers wore alligator golf shoes.

Did the alligator faint from the sheer awesomeness of the shot?

I thought the golfer pulled out a piece from his bag [they don’t normally carry out on the course?] and squeezed off a round for effect.

They put alligators on their shirts in Florida. Tough folks.

Florida Man be tough. On land, we have alligaors, rattlesnakes and three other species of venemous snake; at the beach, we have sharks waiting in the water; and for stay at home urban types, we have blistering heat and sun and hurricanes and tornadoes. They are all part of the environment.

I live in SW Florida and have taken several shots with gators nearby. We give them names. The only time they get aggressive is during mating season and when females have babies. Even then the almost exclusively attack other gators. We have one woh is always within 5 yards of the 11th green. She catches sun by the pond.

Couldn’t resist. :-)

We have lots of gators on our golf courses here in SC. It is forbidden for humans to feed them. If they don’t associate humans with food, they’re not a threat. Mostly we ignore them and they ignore us. As said below, they get aggressive in mating season (Apr-Jun) and if you wander close to a nest. We had a guy get bit who was mowing near a lagoon. I would have taken that shot.
