From growing up in Florida, I have worked my fair share as a server and cart girl for various golf courses.
I’ve seen a pack of wild dogs and cats steal a golf ball right off the green. I’ve seen a hawk capture a fish only to be then hunted by nasty crows to have the hawk give up on a 15lb pound catfish.
I’ve had a squirrel pee on my golf cart seat in anger because I took my snacks (that were for sale) away from him. I’ve even driven past a few, or dozens of alligators that frequent the courses in Florida.
But I have never seen a shark infested pond anywhere near a golf course until now. Make that a Bull Shark infested pond (one of the most aggressive species of sharks) with a couple of them reaching 10ft long.
Hit the title/read more to see the incredible video...
At the Carbrook Golf Club in Brisbane, Queensland (Australia), there was a flood that caused a few sharks to get caught in the lake on the course. When the lake receded, the sharks were stuck.
But they must be doing just fine because now the sharks are actually breeding.
In the video a grounds crewman is actually seen sitting right to the lake when a shark comes within feet of him.
Golfers have even been known to feed the sharks while they jump out of the water to reach the food. It’s really only a matter of time before these sharks figures out a way to snatch one of these guys and drag him to the bottom of the lake.
Could you imagine the terminology in the waivers signed by the dive crew that has to go in there and retrieve those lost golf balls every sixth months?
