gator's leg off...

Certainly spices up the game, however - maybe other sports ought to consider adding alligators to boost fan appeal...

SC golfer loses arm in alligator attack on course

The Associated Press
BEAUFORT, S.C. —

Officials say an alligator bit off part of a golfer's arm as he leaned over to pick up his ball at a private South Carolina course.

The man, who is in his 70s, was retrieving his ball from a pond when the 10-foot alligator bit him at Ocean Creek Golf Course in Beaufort County. The gator pulled the golfer into the pond and ripped off his arm in the struggle. His golf partners were able to free him.

Wildlife workers killed the alligator and retrieved the arm in the hopes it might be reattached.
