OMG. PGA Tour Highlights suck so bad. Let's see Brian Gay hit the shot!!! Damn!

WTH?! Is that commonplace in a golf game or something? No one is acting the least bit surprised lol. I'm from Southern Louisiana, so it's not like I haven't seen one in person before, but I can guarantee when I DO see one, I don't try to "shoo" it like it's a stray cat lol.

[Nicholas Clarke]

Totally agree. LOL!

[Jeffrey Bowens]

If a gator was freaking right behind me I wouldn't stand there for two more seconds I would just hit the damn shot!

[Kaptain Kanada]

That was the only exciting moment in the history of golf...

Oh ok, well thanks for the reply. I'm not a follower of golf AT ALL, so I'm really clueless as to what goes on during a tournament. lol That's crazy, though!

that alligator qualifies as a Water Hazard

By seeing the word Heritage in the Tournament, I'm guessing this is the old MCI Heritage which is played in Harbour Town on Hilton Head Island,South Carolina.I've vacationed 3x's on Hilton Head and have played this course and 2 others.There are gators everywhere down there.That inlet on the course runs through the whole island and goes through back yards.You can get close to them,it's pretty cool esp when they aren't here in PGH.South courses have gators all over them these guys are used to it.
