The Urban Legend (not a true story) behind these
photos is:
This picture was taken at the "Breakers Golf Course" in
Palm Beach County, FL in June, 1998. As the story goes,
the first foursome of the day played together to the 5th
hole where one impatient golfer went ahead of the group.
The remaining three, thinking that the impatient golfer
finished without them and was waiting at the nineteenth
hole, wasn't concerned with his absence. After waiting 2
hours for his return and his car still in the parking lot
the threesome notified the club and the search was on. Of
course the impatient golfer was not located but his clubs
were found on the seventh hole.
Three days later, Ole Moose was spotted
on the seventh hole and was an immediate suspect. Ole
Moose
was an American Croc. that was an infrequent course
visitor for over 20 years. Not too much concern was ever
given Ole Moose whom had always made a hasty retreat
whenever he saw anyone coming.
To make a long story even longer, after
the course officials, SPCA, lawyers, citizens groups,
Mayor, Palm Beach PD and the American Crocodile
Association of So. Fl. got together it was decided that to put
everyone's mind at ease, Ole Moose should be unzipped. The
above picture is the result.
