Damn Alligator BIT MY ARM OFF!
 

BEAUFORT, S.C. -- Officials say an alligator bit off part of a golfer's arm as he leaned over to pick up his ball at a private South Carolina course.

The man, who is in his 70s, was retrieving his ball from a pond when the 10-foot alligator bit him at Ocean Creek Golf Course in Beaufort County. The gator pulled the golfer into the pond and ripped off his arm in the struggle. His golf partners were able to free him.

Wildlife workers killed the alligator and retrieved the arm in the hopes it might be reattached.

The man has not been identified. He was being treated at the Medical University of South Carolina, but officials there would not release any information about him.

A call to the golf course was not immediately returned.

Damn. I knew golf was an expensive game to play, but I didn't know it could cost an arm...

can't use that hand wedge on the 11th now....

damn, all of the good jokes have been taken.

I'll bet his score was pretty bad for the rest of that round.

Mulligan.

When your hot - your hot !

If they can't reattach it, maybe they could use one of the alligator's arms. That'd make for a great conversation starter.

I wonder if he was wearing an alligator shirt.

Probably have a nice hook, too.

I like how they recovered the arm "in hopes of reattaching it". Yeah considering it was probably half digest or ripped to shreds, I'm sure that'll work. Idiots.

Damn golf is mentally draining enough as it is...now you gotta dodge ****ing alligators while we're at? Demented shit I tell ya.

Shouldn't be to hard to find out ... it's the guy with teeth marks on his stump .....

This thread is taylor made for sick jokes.

The army had no comment on the event.

I provided security for some dignitaries on a golf course in SC several years ago. You could see the alligators sunbathing around many of the water holes. The funniest shit is that you actually had to TELL the dignitaries not to try to retrieve the balls from anywhere near the water. Dumbest shit I ever saw!

Damn this story makes me mad. I'm all up in arms right now.



Well atleast he still has his job in armed securities.

Maybe he pulled a gun and the alligator was only trying to.....oh never mind.

Those old guys won't hardly bend over to repair a ball mark on the green, what is this guy doing reaching down into a pond?

Bet that $20 ball retriever doesn't look to expensive now does it?



BTW, on a serious note, my father in law had a cousin that had his left arm amputated and still played better than bogie golf. Played with him myself several times. Pretty amazing to watch.
