From the looks of him, I wonder if he’s the one who lost the wrestling match?

This is a chain of mini-golf places with gators that kids (or adults) can feed.
and apparently one drunken moron stole a small one to abuse

Based on what he did, it looks like his parents lost the sperm/egg match.

The company is not without blame here - according to their website: “At Congo River Golf, adventure waits at every turn. Grab a pole and step right up to try a gator feeding experience like no other. Each location features an interactive gator exhibit with more than 25 live gators to feed and exclusive photo opportunities. It’s always an adventure at Congo River Golf!”
Apparently he decided to create his own adventure…

Perhaps the most Florida part of this very Florida story is that they named the chain of miniature golf courses featuring alligators after a country in which nary an alligator shall be found.

Only in Florida - I mean, nothing so weird could ever happen in a sane and normal state like Massachusetts, could it? Oh wait…

That’s high stakes mini golf. And I thought making the uphill shot past the windmill was hard.
This is the real story! Alligators are normal fair for miniature golf courses in Florida- I don’t think this is common knowledge. I get alligators are common in Florida, but being used as part of mini golf adds a level of danger that I would not expect. Then again Florida Man is the most dangerous creature there, so I should not be too shocked.
Bold text emphasis is mine.

But, what was ‘Bubba’ trying to teach the alligator? Renaissance drama? Integral calculus? I think the public should be told.
