Gator golf

Golfers are legendary for their dedication to the game. One example would be the genre of jokes such as this:

John gets home from the round and his wife asks how it went. "Terrible," he replied. "Joe had a heart attack on the 8th hole and died. After that it was hit a shot, drag Joe, hit a shot, drag Joe...."

Sadly, I know about a half dozen jokes with essentially the same punch line; someone died, the game went on and the only negative to their death was what it did to the survivor's score.

That makes it even more impressive to see someone stop playing just to stop someone from dying at the hands...er, teeth...of an alligator. Tom Arundel...good man, but clearly just a hack golfer.

I think the best part is the victim apparently drove himself to the hospital...which could lead one to believe Arundel indeed returned to his game...and nobody from the golf course could tear themselves away from their duties to take the dude.

Well done, golf. Giving soccer and cricket a run for their money.

Drove himself?!

I have to say, most of the golfers I've met are sort of assholes. I believe it.
