Golfer loses arm in gator attackComment Email Print Share Associated Press

BEAUFORT, S.C. -- Officials say an alligator bit off part of a golfer's arm as he leaned over to pick up his ball at a private South Carolina course.

The man, who is in his 70s, was retrieving his ball from a pond when the 10-foot alligator bit him at Ocean Creek Golf Course in Beaufort County. The gator pulled the golfer into the pond and ripped off his arm in the struggle. His golf partners were able to free him.

Wildlife workers killed the alligator and retrieved the arm in the hopes it might be reattached.

The man has not been identified. He was being treated at the Medical University of South Carolina, but officials there would not release any information about him.

A call to the golf course was not immediately returned.

Damn man was sweating like a ************ and trying to line up the hole with trembling eyeballs.

(Guess what ironically next to mini golf was a swingers club <as in people who like to fvck> hehe it ve real funny seeing a 8 yr old thinking he wants membership to the mini-golf course next store)
