On Saturday, a golf ball diver was attacked by an alligator in a pond near the 13th hole at Tampa Palms Golf & Country Club. Not many people realize it, but these divers make a lot of money (six figures, as suggested by this article). Evidently, there's a reason for this. It's DANGEROUS! Fortunately, the diver is steadily recovering, with a dislocated shoulder and broken upper arm.
Neil Johnson of the Tampa Tribune offers a detailed report.
