Alligator Bites Off Man’s Arm
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.

When are people going to learn that if your playing golf anywhere south of North Carolina and your ball goes into the water hazard, JUST FUCKING GET A NEW BALL. The most expensive golf ball is the Pro V-1 and it costs like $3/ball. You arm is virtually priceless. Yet every couple months theres a new story about some retard who thought he could beat the odds and save himself a few bucks. Do I feel bad for this guy? Yeah, he was probably trying to get away from his crazy ass wife which is why he probably went after the $1.50 range ball and now he’s never gonna spend another day on the links. But you gotta know better then to just stick your hand into the water, which reminds me of something else. Human’s do not belong in water. We just don’t and every time another shark attack, alligator attack or drowning happens, it just serves as another reminder. That shit doesn’t happen on land.
