A bizarre incident unfolded at the Ocean Course on Kiawah Island in South Carolina, USA, where golfers got more than they expected. While teeing off, players were left in awe as a massive alligator leisurely strolled across the course in broad daylight.
A video of the latest alligator sighting at the Kiawah Ocean Course was shared online by Rick Golfs, who praised the cameraman for getting close to capture the moment, calling it “insane.”
In his post he wrote, “Insane crocodile at the Kiawah Ocean Course! Props to the cameraman for getting close. For a $600 green fee, you not only get to shoot a 103, but you get to meet this specimen! My buddy sent me this. They literally walked right by him and then he crossed over the tee box behind them. Crazy. I know they are technically not interested in eating us. But I’m still not sure I want to tempt fate.”
The enormous creature took its time, commanding attention as it made its way across the green. Many golfers couldn’t resist getting a closer look as the gator disappeared into the long grass.
Has gator on golf course incident occurred in the past?
According to a report by The Sun, this isn’t the first time an alligator has made an unexpected appearance on a golf course. Last year, one alligator disrupted a tournament in Florida, and earlier this year, golfer Billy Horschel had to help usher one off the course, earning him the nickname “gator whisperer.”
