Speaking of Gators in the water hazards I remember in the sixties when I lived in Jax, FL and worked for the Florida National Group of Banks a rival bank had a commercial aired on TV about a alligator that would come out of a water hazard at the Ponta Vedra Golf Coarse a grab any golf ball that landed near the water hazard.

It was also common knowledge that many a pet owner living next to those golf coarses lost their poodles to the gators when they let them out to make natures call.
