Golf is an extremely difficult and frustrating sport that can be downright unbeatable at times. So it’s no help when you have to deal with an extra element when you’re on the course.
Unfortunately, Florida golfer Tony Aarts was forced to deal with an added difficulty when he was playing at Magnolia Landing Golf & Country Club. As he approached the 4th hole he was abruptly attacked by an alligator:
“As I was walking about 5 to 6 feet away from the water I heard a splash, and as soon as I heard that splash I knew it was an alligator, and he got me.”
The gator grabbed Aarts by his right ankle and immediately dragged him into the nearest water hazard.
