Croc's got your (golf) balls

2014 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

A 29 year old South African male and some friends decided , after a solid drinking session at the 19th hole of a golf course next to the Skukuza camp in the Kruger National Park, that they will have a competition about who can retrieve the most golf balls from a lake on the golf course ironically called Lake Panic . The catch to the story is that The Kruger National Park is home to almost all of the large predators found in Africa and the unfenced golf course is frequented by the Big Five , Hippo's and of course huge Nile crocodiles. Ironically this advanced specimen of evolution worked as a ranger and grew up around the Park as both his parents used to be rangers at the Park. To cut a long story short a 4m Nile Croc fresh out of hibernation and hungry from this prolonged fasting bit him to death , the end.

Definitely Keep: Darwin Award
Okay, this is what we needed. The guy was clearly aware that dangerous animals were frequently seen in the park and waterholes, yet joined in diving for golf balls when two of the Big Five prefer *water*. Sheesh. Thanks, David!
