Croc Makes Itself At Home

A golf club owner in Twonsville, Australia, said a crocodile decided to take his golf course as its home, media reported Wednesay.

Don Matheson, owner of Willows Golf Club in Queensland, said a 1-meter crocodile moved into a lake at the 14th hole.

"It's quite novel that we have got a croc who has made his home here. If we allowed it, he would stay here," said Matheson.

That's the last time they use my family to make a golf bag.

Although it has not posed any "significant threat" to people, the club would not allow it on the course, adding that he would ask wildlife authorities to place the animal back in the wild.

The crocodile found his new residence during flooding that followed heavy rains in recent weeks, according to the club owner.

Wildlife authorities last week warned residents in the Queensland tropics to be alert for crocodiles and snakes carried onto properties by floodwater.

We at GolfPunk love our animals, in a good way, but we also love our golf. Perhaps most importantly we love our arms and legs so the benefits of having a croc on your home course are still lost on us.

If you have any suggestions let us know.
