A Florida alligator stole a golfer’s ball off the green Sunday at the Plantation Bay Golf & Country Club in Ormond Beach.
A video by Mike Harb, shared on social media, shows the gator grabbing the ball and putting it in his mouth, before taking off with it.
A person off-camera can be heard saying, “Chase him closer to the hole… have him just drop it in the hole.”
