This 6-7 foot gator was hanging out on the Highlands course # 12 water hazard. My ball landed about eight feet away. So... Analyzing which club would be best for my shot AND self defense. We have alligators... if you visit Sarasota they will not be hard to find. Just go to any golf course or large water retention pond. #localgem
