(video at link all I can say is

A giant alligator has been filmed strolling across a golf course in Florida, to the horror of a group of golfers.

“That is the biggest freakin’ alligator I have ever seen in my life,” Charles Helms was heard saying as he recorded the huge reptile.

He had been playing at a course in Palmetto when the group spotted the alligator getting up and lumbering towards a lake near the third hole.

“Jesus, that must be 15ft long,” a man could be heard saying behind the camera, with another adding: “You gotta be kidding me.”

As another man filming its progress past a bunker stepped nearer to the alligator, its size became apparent.

“You ever seen anything that big?” Mr Helms could be heard saying. “Holy c**p, that is a monster.”

Seemingly unaware of its audience, the alligator continued walking slowly across the course until it disappeared from sight.

Staff at the Buffalo Creek Golf Club said the reptile was a common feature and had become popular with customers.

Wendy Schofield, who works at its pro shop, told News 3: “He doesn't bother anybody and they don't bother him, he's like a mascot for the course.

"He has been here for a very, very long time, he's not new at all…the word has spread that this is a great place to come and play. He is the highlight, but we are worth the price too."

Meh it just adds actual excitment to the game.

now just gotta add some scorpions to the sand traps.

**whembly**

MMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... gator tators.

Lotta meat there.

That is crazy.

How often does this sort of thing happen down Florida way? I mean, I know they have gators everywhere and all, but it's another to see a dinosaur just casually strolling along.

I assumed they had started tackling the gator problem by domesticating them. I hear they can run pretty quick, would make great mounts. Just imagine ordering an Uber in Florida and your driver shows up riding that thing!

Well if I've learned anything from put put golf it's that I should put the ball in its mouth instead of shooting around it.
