Though losing an arm was traumatic,
He's being too melodramatic.
He still was just fine
To play the back nine,
His putting just got more erratic.

Thursday's attack could have been caused by any number of factors, said Joe Maffo,

Yeah, number one reason: alligators will farking eat you.

Including the possibility the golfer was holding a giant emerald.

How to Avoid Being Eaten by an Alligator
Throw Marshmallows

Most people already know: ALLIGATORS LOVE MARSHMALLOWS! This is why they are drawn to your golf ball when it lands in the water. Make sure to carry plenty of marshmallows in your golf bag. I prefer the Jet Puffed brand because they are easy to throw, but any kind will work. (see figure 1, below)

Fig. 1: Show no fear. You have marshmallows.


Before getting too close to the edge of the bank, begin throwing marshmallows into the part of the lake as far from your golf ball as possible. If you are playing with a partner, make sure to work together. Have your partner throw marshmallows while you look for your lost golf ball.

Important Note: Do not try this on a crocodile. Crocodiles are immune to the lure of sugary treats.
Hold Mouth Closed

Alligators bite with force of 1200 lbs. per square inch, but they are very weak when it comes to opening their mouths. If an alligator attacks you while you are reaching into the water, simply wrestle him on to the shore, jab him in the eyes with whatever you can get your hands on, e.g. a green tool, a beer can, your nine iron, your thumb, etc.

When he releases his bite, immediately remove any articles of clothing, or appendages from his mouth and then try to maneuver yourself onto the alligator's back.

Important Note: If you are working with a partner, make sure your partner DOES NOT begin throwing marshmallows into the center of the lake while you are on top of the alligator.

My friend lives near there. She says the beasts will wander into residential neighborhoods and sometimes stand up against houses, occasionally ringing doorbells by accident. People have answered their doors only to find a monsterous reptile propped up against their home, inches away...

How about the "It's a farking alligator!" factor?

At first I thought the Florida tag was missing, then read the location. When they start biting in New Jersey then I'll start getting really worried.

What's the sound of one hand golf clapping?

That is a drop and a two stoke penalty, right?

If your ball goes in an alligator-infested pond, let it go, man, cause it's gone.
