Read the story first, then look at the picture (attached).
This Croc. was taken at the "Breakers Golf Course" in Palm Beach
County, FL in June, 1998. As the story goes, the first foursome of the
day played together to the 5th hole where one impatient golfer went
ahead of the group. The remaining three, thinking that the impatient
golfer finished without them and was waiting at the nineteenth hole
wasn't concerned with his absence. After waiting 2 hours for his
return and his car still in the parking lot the threesome notified the
club and the search was on. Of course the impatient golfer was not
located but his clubs were found on the seventh hole. Three days
later, Ole Mose was spotted on the seventh hole and was an immediate
suspect. Ole Mose was an American Croc. that was an infrequent course
visitor for over 20 years. Not too much concern was ever given Ole
Mose whom had always made a hasty retreat whenever he saw anyone
coming. To make a long story even longer, after the course officials,
SPCA, lawyers, citizens groups, Mayor, Palm Beach PD and the American
Crocodile Association of So. Fl. talked it was decided that to put
everyone's mind at ease, Ole Mose should be unzipped. And here is the
result.
There must be something learned from this; maybe something about being
patient with your golf game or maybe something about safety in
numbers! Next time it might be a bear or whatever......
