Giant alligator steals ball from Louisiana golf course, netizens stunned | Watch

A footage of an alligator eating the golfer’s ball has triggered laughter on the internet. In the rare 12 seconds clip, an extensive sized alligator not only consumed the golf ball at the Louisiana course but shortly, teased the player flashing the white ball, with its mouth wide open. The golfing reptile was shot on camera at the Idlewild Course in Patterson. Theo Shantonas uploaded the footage of the alligator catching the shot between its sharp-edged teeth, halfway, for consumption. Although, the giant green creature didn’t swallow the ball. 

While the alligator participation in Golf at the course isn’t particularly a rare sight, the internet asked the player to “tap” the alligator in. One other user thought that the “Gator is being quite cheeky, really. Almost like he’s saying “you mean this ball? Here, come & get it.” Another suggested asking the course marshal if it “counts as a stroke penalty”. “Correction: it is NOT the golfer's ball any longer,” said the third, while the fourth reminded, “This is the part where you tip your cap and slowly back away.” One other retorted, “Nah, I’ll take the penalty.” 

As per the golfers, the monster “showed up out of nowhere” and consumed the shot, reports confirmed the players as saying. The team even debated “playing it where it lies”. One player suggested since the gator caught the ball, they must apply the penalty of one stroke.

Fox steals ball and scampers away

The sight of the “cheeky” animals not minding their own business at the golf course is not new. Only a day earlier, a fox at the Springfield Country Club in Pennsylvania stole a chipper’s approach shot as the ball came to a halt on the green. The fox was strategically positioned on the field and wasn’t playing on any team. The cunning fox stole the ball and scampered away. In a Facebook video, the course said, "If your ball has mysteriously disappeared over the past month, we think we know why.”
