On most golf courses, all golfers have to worry about is their score being ruined by their own game. However, when golfing in the south, many courses feature another major golf obstacle; alligators. One golfer learned that the hard way recently as his golf shot was ruined when an alligator snatched his ball and ran off with it.

As seen in the clip that recently went viral, an alligator has a golf ball in its mouth, as the golfers watch from a safe distance. The gator eventually runs back in to the pond, stealing the ball and taking it back to the water. As the alligator ponders its next move, the golfers can be heard in the background saying "get it Chubbs," "He ate it" and "That's not good."


According to Yahoo, the video was originally shot on October 9, but was just recently shared; quickly going viral. Luckily for the golfer, according to the official rules the gator stealing his ball is considered a "free drop." Hopefully next time the golfer avoids getting his ball near the water.
