Report: Gigantic Alligator Taking over Greens at Florida Golf Course

Bill Susie / Myakka Pines Golf Club

As a former Floridian who has consumed beers on a number of the Sunshine State’s less prestigious golf courses, I can affirm that alligators are not a new sight around links south of Valdosta, Georgia.

What Floridians are not used to seeing, however, are dinosaurs from the late Cretaceous period taking up residence three feet from the hole.

According to a report from WPTV in West Palm Beach, this appeared to be the way of things at a golf course in Englewood, Florida, over the weekend, where images have emerged of a monstrous alligator stalking the greens at Myakka Pines Golf Club. 

Golfers named Bill Susie and Dick Huber took pictures of the animal and shared them with the club. Honorably, the course posted the pictures on its Facebook page as an interesting tidbit/warning to locals. 

According to the WPTV report, the gator was traversing from pond to pond near the green at No. 7, stopping periodically to sun itself and claim dominion over the pin.

Again, alligators are old hat in Floridaâ€"just not ones that look like juvenile versions of the Sarcosuchus. When an alligator looks like you could stack two skateboards and roll them through its standing legs, that’s a big gator. 

Of course, hoaxes are always possible, and until someone recovers Chubbs’ hand from its stomach, we won’t have definitive proof this titan exists. 

Until then, play it safe. Just stay in the cart, sip your John Daly and drive right past No. 7. 

Dan is on Twitter. He got out of Florida before that damn alligator could cut him down.

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 t...

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 M...
