Florida golf ball diver attacked by gator

Authorities report that Dwight Monreal, 62, was diving for golf balls in a pond at the Tampa Palms Golf and Country Club Saturday afternoon when an alligator latched onto his left arm and tried to drag him underwater. He was treated for puncture wounds and a dislocated shoulder. An 8-foot gator was later trapped and destroyed. "This is the first time I've experienced a hard-core, eat-your-butt attack," Monreal said. In the Tampa Tribune.
