Giant Alligator Steals Ball

Footage of an alligator eating the golfer’s ball has triggered laughter on the internet. In the rare 12 seconds clip, an extensive sized alligator not only consumed the golf ball at the Louisiana course but shortly, teased the player flashing the white ball, with its mouth wide open. The golfing reptile was shot on camera at the Idlewild Course in Patterson. Theo Shantonas uploaded the footage of the alligator catching the shot between its sharp-edged teeth, halfway, for consumption. Although, the giant green creature didn’t swallow the ball. 

While the alligator participation in Golf at the course isn’t particularly a rare sight, the internet asked the player to “tap” the alligator in. One other user thought that the “Gator is being quite cheeky, really. Almost like he’s saying “you mean this ball? Here, come & get it.” Another suggested asking the course marshal if it “counts as a stroke penalty”. “Correction: it is NOT the golfer's ball any longer,” said the third, while the fourth reminded, “This is the part where you tip your cap and slowly back away.” One other retorted, “Nah, I’ll take the penalty.”
