Massive Gator on FL Golf Course: Fake or Real? We Polled Our Staff

I have seen some big alligators in my life but nothing quite like the one featured in the video below. Golfer Charlie Helms got more than he bargained for when he was golfing with a friend at Buffalo Creek Golf Course in Palmetto, Florida over the weekend.

The massive gator appears in the video to be very nonchalantly making its way to a lake on the course to cool off. With no interest at all in the golfers, the gator simply strolled along the course to the water, not even so much as turning to look at the golfers who were filming in amazement!

When I stumbled across this video I shared it with my boss, Jake Carney, who immediately called it a fake. We decided to poll the other staff to see what everyone thought. At present, we have polled six staff, two who are so amazed they couldn’t comment, two who think it is real and two who are calling this a scam.

Let us know what you think below.
