Joanne and Len Sadowsky were
competing in a couples golf competition at the Bonita National Golf Club in
Bonita Springs on Saturday when Joanne claimed a gator “jumped up and caught”
her wayward ball.
“I shanked the ball to the right,
and it was heading to the water,” she told the Naples
Daily News. “It was close to the gator’s head. He saw it, jumped up and
caught it.”
A photo provided to the
publication shows the gator resting with the woman’s light pink ball in its
mouth.
While the Bonita Springs resident
is accustomed to seeing gators on the course, this was the first time she’s
ever witnessed such an event.
“We’ve seen them with a fish or a
turtle in their mouths, but never a golf ball,” she said.
The unexpected occurrence played
into Joanne’s favor, however.
“It saved me from a hazard
penalty,” she said, noting she earned a free drop due to the interference.
