The Associated Press reports that a golfer in Venice, Fla., was pulled into a pond by a one-eyed, 11-foot alligator. The golfer was reaching into the pond to retrieve a golf ball when the gator grabbed his right arm and jerked him into the water. The golfer managed to use his left arm to strike the reptile until it let him loose. Florida wildlife officers later trapped and killed the alligator. Want proof this guy is an idiot? The pond has a sign that says “Beware of Alligator.” Serves him right for trying to fish out a $3 golf ball.
