Watch: Huge Gator Snags Golfer’s Ball Before Disappearing Back Into Pond

As far as sports go, golf is relatively safe. There’s no physical contact with anyone, so you don’t have to worry about broken bones or serious concussions. There’s no running, so no real concern about strained muscles or ruptured tendons. There are no large men in cleats chasing after you. But there are, on occasion, big-ass gators.

In the past few weeks, we’ve shared a story about a golfer who panicked after nearly stepping on a gator he thought was a rock and a story about a huge gator walking across a golf course as he calmly ate a large fish. Now we have another gator tale for you.

As Fox 4 reports, last week Daniel McNamara and his partner were playing a round of golf at a course near near Port Charlotte when McNamara’s partner hit an errant shot, sending a ball right into the head of gator chilling by a pond near the course’s third hole. You think a gator might scamper off into the pond after being hit by the ball, or simply ignore it.

But no: The large reptile wanted revenge.

After being struck, the gator quickly turned its head and crawled towards the offending object, which he examined for a second before taking it into his mouth and slinking back into the water.

Good luck getting that ball back.
