Giant Gator Spotted Ambling Across Golf Course
FT LAUDERDALE (CBSMiami) - Alligators living on or around Florida golf courses is nothing new, but one gator has gone viral.
Charles Helms was with a friend at Buffalo Creek Golf Club in Palmetto when he spotted what appeared to be a 14 to 15 foot gator casually strolling across a course. He immediately pulled out his phone and began recording it.
"That is the biggest freakin' alligator I have ever seen in my life," a man can be heard saying on the recording.
"You've got to be kidding me," another voice says.
"I think that's two guys in an alligator suit," says the first voice, who adds, "That's monster."
Helms posted the video on his Facebook page on May 25th and blew up.
Golf.com was one of many media outlets that took the video and posted it on YouTube.
The oversized alligator is apparently a regular at the course.
Buffalo Creek employee Wendy Schofield told the local news station, "He doesn't bother anybody and they don't bother him, he's like a mascot for the course."
