CHARLOTTE COUNTY, FL - A Charlotte County golf course is getting worldwide attention, not for the game of golf so much, but for giant alligators. We brought this story several days ago when a photo of a large gator roaming the course drew viral-like notice.

We went back to Myakka Pines to see if the attention has affected business.

What we found was a number of likes and comments on the club's Facebook account. Some doubted the pictures authenticity but the attention is drawing a crowd.

The once hidden gem is now out there as an unofficial nature center.

"People calling from all parts of the country-New York, California, Arizona," said Frank Perilli who is the head golf professional. "They don't care about the golf game, they just want to see the gators."

The course, built in the 1970's is nestled in muck, swamp-- a muddy mess that is great apparently for growing gators large.

While no giant gators greeted us on this day, several smaller versions showed up. They are known to the club members as the future stars of Myakka Pines.

Now the push is on to name the viral gator so the club has received hundreds of ideas already on their Facebook which you can link here.

Two Naked Pics Of Holly Sonders. The Big News To Emerge From The 2013 PGA Show

Image
The media centre at the 2013 PGA Show was buzzing yesterday.  Not because of anything that happened at the show.  God forbid! When I rocked in, several men (and one woman) were gathered around an iphone ogling and sharing  two pics of who they claimed were Holly Sonders naked. Now I have to hold my hands up and say, I had to google her to find out she’s from The Golf Channel. I don’t watch the Golf Channel because I don’t have an erectile dysfunction problem or need to rent a car from National.  I’m told adverts for both are all that’s on that channel. How they knew for certain it was her, I dont know.  Unless the cheeks of her ass were on her passport photo and they recognized them from there, but I doubt it. The First Pic The first pic is taken from behind. No pun intended.  The media guys say it was taken by her fiancee (?) and shows Holly in a white thong which has disappeared a dangerously long ways into the bummage.  I’m talking two aerial liquitabs and a hot whit

Sarah Stirk Nipple Gate: Navy Top Leaves Viewers Disappointed

Image
London: Sky Sports management this morning issued a statement  apologizing to subscribers after Sarah Stirk wore a navy dress live on air.  It is believed up to 60,000 horny golfers were left limp after they tuned in to final round coverage of the Valero Texas Open in the hope of getting a glimpse of the legendary Stirk starter buttons. “I pay my subscription, I’m bloody well entitled to see Sarah’s Wimbledon strawberries” said factory worker Paul Manning 52 from Hereford. “I even missed the ten minute freeview, coz my mate Derek tweeted that Stirk was going into the shot centre for ten minutes at 11pm”. The Sky statement read: We apologize unreservedly for the navy dress Sarah wore during last nights broadcast, through which no nipples were visible. This was due to a wardrobe malfunction. However we do intend to rectify this during our US Masters coverage and assure viewers that plenty of bridge rivets will be on show, both from Sarah and special guest Colin Montgomeri
