I guess I have sort of a fetish for crocodile/alligator stories. Anyways, always a good reminder for those not familiar with courses with crocs to be wary. Golfer is fine and for the most part, unfazed.

A golfer who was bitten on the leg by a crocodile while playing at an Australian tourist resort said Tuesday he was partly at fault for hitting his ball in the water and disturbing the aggressive reptile while it sunbaked.

Lahiff told the ABC from his Cairns Hospital bed that he had seen crocs on the course before and should have been more wary of them. He was attacked after retrieving a ball from a water trap on the 11th hole.

"I drove a cart around there to retrieve the ball and I didn't see the croc sunbaking just on the edge of the water," Lahiff said. "I'll just stay away from them, that's all. Just don't hit balls in the water," he said. "It's partly my fault for disturbing it — it was just sunbaking."
