DEERFIELD BEACH— Authorities say a man has died while diving for golf balls in a South Florida country club’s lake.

The body of 75-year-old Jerry Gunderson was recovered Saturday morning at the Deer Creek Country Club in Deerfield Beach.

The Broward Sheriff’s Office says Gunderson was last seen by his wife Friday evening. An employee at the country club noticed an abandoned car parked near the lake and called police.

A dive unit arrived and recovered Gunderson from the center of the lake. Oxygen tanks, a dive mask and other grass clippings were found in his car.

The cause of death is being investigated.

We had a lab who looked just like that. He went for rocks in the creek behind our house. He would not chase a ball, but throw a rock in the water and he was gone! Not a sissy rock, but a baby boulder. He would not come up for air until he had the rock in his mouth.

He had an iron stomach. One day he passed three golf balls without any straining. He lived to be 16. He’s been gone 12 years and we still miss him. :-(

And, for some reason I can’t “fathom”, grass clippings in your car.

Now if he’s got his head under water barking at fish, *that* would be impressive! :)

We were told that Mother Superior Goat Granny was our official hall monitor. She must be tied up at a meeting or something.
