My son-in-law runs a golf course.

I told him after the tort lawyers get done with this one he'll be hiring lifeguards for the water hazards.

Yep! I was just going to post that I bet a gator got him and pulled him under. Just like that one a few years ago snatched that kid wadind with his parents by that pond by Disney Land. They found his body the next day.

Dang, man, that’s a heck of a hazard. Does he get credit on his score for a hazard that kills him? BTW, why don’t they have quicksand as a hazard?

After seeing some of the ditches that held alligators in Florida, I pretty much assumed that every body of water was suspect.

Over a $1 ball. Take the Mulligan or the hit.

“Golfer drowns in pond while searching for his ball”

OK, I can see taking a that risk if searching for balls but not searching for a ball. After all there is a spare.
