One of the courses we played last week at Pawleys Island S.C. My drive landed a few feet away from a water hazard. getting out of the cart, walking towards it, I thought it was near a log

Log turned out to be an alligator, sunning near the hazard

I took a drop!

I don’t play very often, but my old man used to with a few buddies. One of the stories from those days was about one of his buddies having just bought a brand new expensive set of clubs and was using them for the first time on a different course from the one they usually went to. After a swing that didn’t go as he’d wanted, the guy flew into a rage and chucked his nine iron straight into the lake. After he’d taken a moment to calm down, he realized how pissed his wife was gonna be if she found out what he’d done, so he takes off his shoes and wades right into the lake to grab the iron. Legend goes that when he hauled it out of the water, it looked like Arthur pulling Excalibur out of the lake.

Ah, the days before cellphone cameras. That would have been a big hit on Youtube.
