No. My Dad used to life in Florida and this was a regular occurrence. He was often oblivious to an alligator š near by and weād have to yell at him to leave it. Not worth it. I can buy more golf balls.

Nope … We call those a “gator drop”. Full relief is a minimum of 30ft. Still wary, make it 60 feet. No penalty š
Maleficent_Cherry_11
Yes
Four-In-Hand
Nope, this would simply never happen to me. My ball would be squarely **in** the middle of that water hazard.

Is this Cocoa Beach CC?

This happened to me 30 years ago in New Orleans.

If he confuses it for a marshmallow, he may fight you for it š Iād leave it
MyLife-DumpsterFire
Considering how many I probably already launched into that water beforehand, whatās another ball?

Oh, and by the wey ….. F&$@ the ball

About 20 years ago, my dad and I played at a private course just north of Tampa and we ran in to a guy like this and his brothers.
On one hole, my dad tried to get me to stand between him and aforementioned dinosaur with a club while he hit. I refused. I stayed in the cart with the wheels turned and my foot on the gas ready to play getaway driver.
A few holes later, we ran in to siblings and wanted to drive by and my dad refused because we wouldāve driven by with them on the passenger side and he refused to be alligator drive thru.
It still makes us laugh

Yes. Didn’t you guys pass nursery school? Shake the gator tail, hit the ball, run.

After scaring that big ass gator into the water first, yeah I would play it.

Yes and get myself a new pair of boots and matching belt.

It blows my mind you golfers in the south have this as a hazard. Up here in Michigan we got the geese and while they were hand crafted by Satan I never have to worry about my arm getting ripped off by them with like a gator

Drop 400 club lengths away and play

Iām writing down a birdie and moving on
drjen1974
I was just talking w my friend about how we both donāt want to die due to a very stupid reasonāthis situation has potential for high stupidity so hell no
Ok_Flounder59
Not only would I play that ball, I HAVE played that ball at least a handful of times.
Play enough inland courses in Florida and youāll run into this scenario every now and then. A tap on the tail and homeboy will run for the water
Nancyrn597
Stupid question, the better question is, where are you gonna drop the ball you take out of the bag? or, do you know how to run in a zig zag formation?
AllHailTheHypnoFloat
yes, all was forgiven remember?

Noā¦ I wanna finish the round.. I mean I did pay for it.
Dr_Doctor43
That’s a gator. I just might. If it’s a croc, fuck no.
mssngthvwls
Play it as it death spirals, bud. Otherwise that birdie you got back on hole 7 doesn’t count as the whole scorecard is a wash.

Ha. Pulled up to the tee box once in Arizona and had a 6ā rattler laying out there. Looked at my buddy and said āpar – parā and we drove to the next hole.
