Alligator on Florida golf course takes victory lap with stolen club
Footage has surfaced showing an alligator traversing a Florida pond while displaying a golf club like a trophy.
Presumably, the golfer is OK.
The footage, shared by WINK News meteorologist Matt Devitt, was captured at an Orlando golf course recently by a WINK viewer named Doug. 'Only in Florida,' Devitt joked via Instagram. 'I'd let him play through.'
It's unclear if the alligator stole the club from a bag, if the club had been left near the pond, or if the golfer had tossed the club into the water during a tantrum. It's also unclear if the voice in the audio belongs to the golfer who lost the club.
While alligator sightings on Florida golf courses are fairly routine, this was extraordinary. It looks as though the gator is using the club as a snorkel or, as one follower remarked, a periscope.
The top Instagram comment, predictably, reads: 'What happened to the golfer?'

Jessie J Updates Fans After Undergoing Surgery For Breast Cancer
Jessie J has confirmed she's now recovering at home after undergoing surgery as part of her breast cancer treatment. Earlier this month, the chart-topping singer disclosed that she'd been diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer shortly after the release of her single No Secrets in April. She then said that, following her performance at the Capital Summertime Ball, she'd be taking time out from the spotlight to have surgery. On Monday night, Jessie shared a series of pictures and videos on Instagram confirming that she'd had the operation, including a selfie from her hospital bed. 'This post is some of the honest lows and highs of the last 48 hours,' she told her followers. 'I will always show the good and hard bits of any journey I go through.' Sharing her gratitude with her doctors, surgeons and nurses, as well as the family and friends who visited her in hospital, she confirmed: 'I am home now, to rest and wait for my results.' 'Still hugging everyone going through something tough right now,' she added. 'We all got this!' Jessie's full post – including a trigger warning for blood – is below: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Jessie J (@jessiej) In her original post announcing her diagnosis, Jessie admitted she'd been 'going back and forth' about whether she wanted to share her diagnosis. Ultimately, though, she decided: '[I wanted] to be open and share it [because] I do not talk about it enough. I'm not processing it, because I'm working so hard. 'I also know how much sharing in the past has helped me, with other people giving me their love and support, and also their own stories. I'm an open book. It breaks my heart that so many people are going through so [many] similar [situations] and worse. That's the bit that kills me.' View this post on Instagram A post shared by Jessie J (@jessiej) Jessie first rose to international fame in 2010 with the release of her debut single Do It Like A Dude, and has since scored three UK number ones with the hit songs Price Tag, Domino and the Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj collaboration Bang Bang. In 2023, the Brit Award winner welcomed a son, her first child, with her partner, basketball pro Chanan Safir Colman.
