This was on my Yahoo! Golf page. http://sports.yahoo.com/golf/blog/de...rn=golf-wp1022

I found it incredibly interesting that the sharks were thought to have been washed into the lake in the 1900s. The article says that the lake borders the holes. You have better not go left off the tee!!!

Haha that's crazy.

[Lebybynctisee]

Jeez that's one hazard I might not try to fish my ball out of.

[entaifsfets]

I wouldn't be that frightened. I mean I wouldn't go digging for my ball and all that they are just there so if you stay dry they are harmless.

Good thing the Kraft Nabisco isn't held there.

[attanilifardy]

now thats just cool

[HwoRas1]

WOW... Better have a long metal ball retriever.

[neotheMit]

Whoa, thats crazy.

[Mello]

That's awesome!! I really like sharks (diving in FL, you see them all the time)
Makes for a cool feature on the course.

After thinking about it, Im more afraid of a bear on a par 3 than a shark in a lake.

[Pdarasenko]

Sharks love water, but HATE the back 9 at Augusta.

[qd0vhq4f]

Thats crazy. I would love to see it in person. Lost balls to alligators but never a shark

Yeah.. I'm thinking I would have a hogleg out on the course just in case... That'd be crazy. Moose would be more-so right?

If that is a fresh water lake, then I'm thinking that they are probably bull sharks. That is the only true shark species I know of that can live for prolonged periods in fresh water. They are often found well inland in rivers, and are particularly dangerous in murky water where they can't see their prey and only attack by scent and vibrations. I certainly wouldn't go wading there.

That is correct. In fact 'Jaws' (the movie, not the wedges) was based on a bull shark attack in Northern NJ in the early 1900's where a rogue bull shark swam up a river, got stuck, got hungry, and then had some good times with the locals there

Pretty neat. I'm guessing you don't see the neighborhood going into that lake to find and sale refurbished balls.

They sure look like Bull Sharks. It is one thing to have sharks in the pond, but Bull Sharks are as dangerous as they come.

there's a show called River Monsters, where this dude goes to places in the wild where the locals' tell tales of a Monster in their rivers, then he fishes it out. The last episode of season 1 is on Bull sharks. They pulled a 15 footer out of a freshwater river in South Africa. Crazy.

It's things like this that make me glad I live about as far away from the ocean as you can get. We get the occasional piranha here but that's a heck of a long way for a bullshark to swim.
