It’s a story that seems to be happening more often in the Sunshine State - a Florida golfer finds his ball swiped up by an alligator near a pond.
The incident took place in Estero on Monday, when Marc Goldstein told NBC affiliate WBBH-TV he hit the ball and noticed it near the body of water.
Upon closer inspection, it landed near a small alligator.
Goldstein took out his phone to record the encounter before the gator grabbed the ball with its mouth and retreated back into the pond.
