Well played sir. Lol.

Since we're all sharing... A couple years ago we're playing the Arthur Hills course in the Palmetto Dunes in Hilton Head, SC. I'm pushing the ball right all day long and having a hard time to keep from getting frustrated. We come up to the Par 4 # 16 Hole. From the tee box, there's water right for about 200 yards, then a clearing and water left around the green. I'm figuring this will be a break for me so I am left side of the fairway. Push it right like I was expecting and notice that I'm clearing the water....or rather was clearing the water. My ball proceeds to try and make a bounce of the cart path but the one and only turtle that I saw that day intercepted and set me back into the water. I'm dumbfounded because we cannot see the turtle from the tee box. It wasn't until we get up there and notice the turtle in the path. I walk down to try and get my ball and notice an Alligator hanging around right where by ball landed. That trip made it Reptiles - 2, Me - 0.
