This was already a difficult shot for Vince Whaley at the Sanderson Farms Championship in Jackson, Mississippi. But notice DIRECTLY BEHIND HIM in the water, taking a front-row seat, sits an alligator.

I went to the University of South Florida in Tampa. The campus features a golf course running along the Hilsborough River. One of my classmates would go out at lunch with a bag of marshmallows and throw them to the alligators beside the river. Then he’d sit back and watch the golfers. When the golfers hit a ball within about thirty feet of the river, the river would erupt in foam and a dozen alligators would rush the ball and swallow it. Sometimes the golfers ran away. Sometimes they stood their thumbing the rule book. The classmate was entertained. I always wondered how many alligators he’d killed.

Evidently this law does not apply to Florida Man. Nor do any of the other laws they’ve got down there.

“It is illegal in Florida to feed alligators...”

To some people the law only happens to other people.

I’m pretty sure that if the gator swallows the ball, the golfer is allowed to take the gator, have it turned into a new golf bag, and resume play without penalty at the spot the ball was swallowed.

Look up the modified rules for golf during the Battle of Britain.
