It was in the '90's sometime and at Tarpon Springs. I was playing in a Mexican 4-some scramble; we'd had a good day; 2 men; 2 ladies; we reached our last hole: Par 5 17th. I hit first: long tee with a tiny creek in front; I ha been hitting long an sometimes onthe correct faireway; so steppe up; teed ball; saw a young couple pushing a baby cart awaslking down an adjacent cart path so waited; they stopped; I hit----and toppe it off the tee into the creek. I trudged after the ball only to look down and see that it was nestled aside a 15 foot or so aligator. I took a second shot with a new ball. (DEspite the alligator, wefinishe second).
