77-year-old Golfer Loses Arm In Gator Attack!

A 77-year-old man lost his arm below the elbow on Thursday when he was attacked by an alligator while playing golf on Fripp Island in South Carolina.

The man, who was playing the 11th hole of the island’s Ocean Creek Golf Course, leaned down to pick up his ball when a 10-foot gator grabbed his arm and then dragged him into a nearby pond. The gator then went into a series of “death rolls,” a technique it uses to tear apart its food. That was when the man lost his arm.

The man’s golf buddies were able to free him from the alligator’s grasp and called 911.

Workers killed the gator and performed a necropsy on it to remove the man’s arm from the animal’s digestive track.

The arm was stored in a cooler in the hopes of re-attaching it. The man’s condition was still unknown late Thursday night.
