This monster alligator (dinosaur?) roamed the course a Kiawah Island Club’s River Course this week, and now I understand why people would rather hit balls on a golf simulator than enjoy the great outdoors.

Kiawah Island is where the 2012 PGA Championship was played (Rory McIlroy won), albeit at the Ocean Course. Here is The Post and Courier on what unfolded on Monday with somebody who was on the course at the time. 

Carrie Moores, the marketing and communications specialist for the Johns Island clinic, was taking photos during a fund-raising golf tournament Monday when out of the corner of her eye she saw an alligator heading toward a group of golfers with their backs turned.

“Alligators are quite a new thing for me. I’m used to squirrels that may try to mug you, but nothing larger than that. It was literally a dinosaur. People said it was one of the largest ones they had ever seen,” Moores said.

Literally a dinosaur. I’m not sure if I’d been there I would have said anything different. Just look at him waddle like he bought and now owns this golf course!
