An alligator visits a golf course in Florida

It is evident that alligators like to walk on any open field in Florida to find a place to find some a body of water even if it means crashing a golf game.
Michael West was on the Punta Gorda Heritage Landing in Florida approaching the 10th hole from a distance of 125 yards away to the hole when Michael saw an alligator at a long distance crawling toward him and three other golfers.
I do not how any of us would react seeing an alligator crawling on the fairway toward anyone since it is natural for human beings to be scared of seeing an alligator on a golf course or anywhere.
Michael just acted in a calm manner as he hit the golf ball toward the hole since he was not going to allow an animal from ruining his golf shot.
The good thing of this incident is that the alligator did not harm anyone of the four golfers on the golf course incident which happened about one week ago.
Michael believes that the alligator was just traveling from one body of water to another body of water that is located on the same golf course where and his friends were playing their favorite sport.

I'm glad no one was harmed by the gator. I think they show up on golf courses quite often.

Alligators do show up on streets as well as golf courses in Florida a lot.

@Deepizzaguy I like to see alligators as long as they aren't aggressive.

This doesn't surprise me. I wonder if the owner of the golf course could do more to keep them away.

The same thing I would have done if I saw an alligator coming toward me.

All that poor alligator wanted was to join in a golf game and if lucky get a ball into a pond where he could enjoy swimming

Most likely scenario in this case.

My thoughts exactly. My life is important than playing a golf game.
