Videos like this are the reason that Happy Gilmore should be REQUIRED VIEWING for every golfer in the world. If this geezer had seen the movie he’d know that Chubbs lost his hand trying to pull a golf ball out from an alligator, and that sticking your hands or getting that close to a massive bull gator is never advisable. Instead this geriatric golfer threw his sweater over the gator’s eyes thinking that’d be enough to mount this apex predator while he retrieved his golf ball. What would he really have lost if he just left the ball by the gator and continue his round? Assuming that was a Titleist Pro V-1 he’d be our $4, AT MOST.
Instead of just forfeiting that $4 golf ball he nearly lost a hand, an arm, or a leg:
Now THIS is how you get bitten by an alligator, and then lose your limbs due infection from the messed up bacteria in a gator’s mouth:
If Chubbs was here today I’d like to think that old geezer would tell him the following: “I’m stupid. You’re smart. I was wrong. You were right. You’re the best. I’m the worst. You’re very good-looking. I’m not attractive.”
RIP, Chubbs.
