During a scheduled Wednesday golf event as part of our company annual meeting, our president and one of our managers were playing in a foursome that had two par fours, back-to-back, intersected bay a canal.
On the way back on the second par four, their drives came up just short of the canal, and when they arrived at their balls, there was a fairly good-size alligator warming himself in the fairway.
The manager’s ball was first, so he got out (quite leery I might add...) and was told by the president not to worry. He’d shout if the alligator moved.
The manager addressed the ball and began his back swing. Just as he reached the top of his arc, the president yelled “WOW! I didn’t know they could run that fast!” The manager jumped and almost threw his club. Turning around, he saw the alligator still sunning himself about 15 yards behind him.
True story.
The lake in my back yard is down from no rain, Gators are peering at me when i go fishing, I carry a 357 with me...oh yea they are there..
Yeah, but did he finish the round?
