while the photos are in fact real, the man was found stumbling around next to Lake Moultrie.

He must have been distracted not to see the predator. Hope he recovers quickly.

This isn’t really an issue in Ohio, but I’ll be certain to keep an eye out for alligators next time I’m in South Carolina.

I’ve only seen an alligator once on the golf course, and it was in Myrtle Beach. It was probably 3-4 feet in length and was sunning itself on the bank of a small pond. Not really a threat, but I sure wasn’t going to go down and mess with the sucker.

Being in Hilton Head, this story hits home. Unfortunately, the only sign that gets ignored more that “Please keep up the Pace of Play” and “Carts on Path this hole” is “Please DO NOT feed the alligators”. What happens is they get used to interactions with the top of the food chain (that would be us)and the next thing you know is you’ve got a great pair of shoes and a belt eating your arm. Lesson learned – hopefully. As a friend of mine, who worked for a major golf ball manufacturer, used to say when he rinsed one and I wandered over to the water’s edge to look, “Don’t worry about it, we’ll make more”.

But don’t let this story of the South Carolina Lowcountry scare you – the golf is good year round – come gve us a vsiit.

Couldn’t this guy see the alligator before he started to look for his ball? I guess not. That’s too bad. I hope that the doctors will be able to reattach his arm and that he will be ok.
