I bet John Peterson wouldn't mess with this alligator (we'll get to that in a second).

This insanely large gator was photographed at the Myakka Pines Golf Club in Englewood, Fla., near the Gulf Coast, according to WPTV.

I'm pretty sure I've never seen a gator that big before. I certainly would conced that putt to my partner if I ever happened upon one on the course like this.

Oh, and here's Peterson showing off his small gator muscles. I bet the bravery doesn't translate when dealing with that monster at the top of the page.
