Alligator Makes Off with Golf Cart at Ocala CourseAlligator Makes Off with Golf Cart at Ocala Course Ocala, FL – An unusual incident unfolded at a local golf course on Monday, as a massive alligator made off with a golf cart in broad daylight. According to witnesses, the alligator, estimated to be over 10 feet long, emerged from the water hazard on the sixth hole of the Silver Springs Shores Golf & Country Club. As golfers approached the green, the reptile stealthily approached a parked golf cart. Without hesitation, the alligator grabbed the steering wheel with its powerful jaws and began to steer the cart away. Golfers shouted in disbelief, but the alligator was too quick. “I couldn’t believe my eyes,” said one witness. “It was like something out of a horror movie.” The alligator drove the cart for several hundred yards before it became stuck in some bushes. Witnesses said the reptile then abandoned the vehicle and returned to the water. Fortunately, no one was injured in the incident. However, the golf cart was damaged beyond repair. “We’ve never seen anything like this before,” said a course official. “We’re reminding our golfers to be aware of their surroundings and to never leave their carts unattended.” Wildlife officials were called to the scene and are investigating the incident. They suspect that the alligator was attracted to the cart by food or trash that was left behind. The stolen golf cart has become a local legend, with many residents and tourists flocking to the course to see where the “alligator thief” struck. The incident has also raised awareness about the importance of respecting wildlife and keeping proper distance from alligators.
