AN alligator has bitten off part of a golfer's arm as he went to pick up his ball at a private course in the US, reports said today. The man, aged in his 70s, was retrieving his ball from a pond when the 3m alligator bit him at Ocean Creek Golf Course in Beaufort County, South Carolina, the Associated Press reported. The report said the gator pulled the man in and ripped off his arm before his golf partners were able to free him.

"What does this story have to do with Barack Obama?"< Obama created alligators. Just before he invented golf.

"You’ve just got to pay attention!" I have almost stepped on them more than a few times while golfing in FL, GA and SC. You do have to pay attention down there.

What's up with the quotes around 'loses arm in alligator attack'? I guess that's better than Golfer loses "arm" in alligator attack or Golfer loses arm in "aligator attack".

Golf balls really do look a little like gator egss don’tchaknow. ... And if that guy wants to lift and clean, well, I say let him be! There’s no way he could hit it very far with such short arms, anyway.

I have never understood trying to retrieve a golf ball from a pond. It is a $1.00 ball ...LEAVE IT. My father and bro in law will search 5 minutes for a ball in the woods or pond. Ridiculous.
