The victim was Bill Hedden of Summerville, South Carolina, who was snorkeling in Lake Moultrie near Moncks Corner on September 16, 2007, when an alligator nearly 12 feet long tore off his right arm at the shoulder. He made his way to a nearby picnic area, where five nurses who happened to be present kept him alive until paramedics arrived. Wildlife officers shot the alligator and recovered the arm from its stomach, but doctors decided it could not be reattached. Despite the caption that circulated with these photos, the incident did not involve a golf ball or a water hazard; he was snorkeling in the lake when the alligator attacked.

Do not pull a Happy Gilmore and try to beat the shit out of an Alligator. Just isn't going to happen.

Berkeley County, South Carolina 2007. That gator surgically twisted that arm out of its socket; look how clean that ball joint is!

Ouch...sorry! Didn't think it went thru...fuck me. I suck at this.

looks like a huge gater.

Great pics. I would have just left the ball in the hazard, golf balls are inexpensive and easily replaced, but one's life is priceless and irreplaceable.

Wonder if they were successful in reattatching the arm?

Poor animal - died because some dipshit likes to play golf and is too stupid to understand who really owns the water.
