Here's something you don't see everyday. And something I never see in Ohio. I think I will skip that hole. Wow... and they talk about teeing off.

I'd tee off they don't want to mess with grown men.

There wasn't any gator fight on the gridiron this week.

This is a stupid individual.  A gator can outrun an Olympic sprinter for short distances.  I'd call where he was standing a short distance.  Plus they were pissed off.

I agree with @vangator it is too dangerous to stand that close to those gators.

Very true.... one person suggested playing the next hole and coming back to this one... my vote too. I remember playing at the Paris Island Marine course years ago and seeing a baby alligator sunning himself. If my ball was anywhere near it, I would have just dropped another.

Lol no I hit the tip of his tail with my wedge and he ran out into the water. Then I hit my chip shot. Most gators dont want anything to do with humans.

Those looked like a couple of big boys - 10 foot or bigger.

In all my years of living in Florida, I had never seen two fight like that.
