Golfer Jacques van der Sandt, 29, was killed by a crocodile last night.
He was collecting balls from dam called Lake Panic when he was attacked .
Crocodile dragged golfer underwater and his body was found next morning.
His body had teeth marks on his chest and back but was not ‘mutilated’.
Both his parents worked at Kruger National Park, S. Africa, where he died.
Deep sea diver had been playing a game with a friend when tragedy struck .
Golf is a dangerous game down here! But what slays me is that this guy should have known the dangers.
R.I.P.

Yup – waiting for an eagle probably!

I am intrigued by the fact that he was not mutilated in any way. Why would the croc simply have dragged him into the lake and left him?
Perhaps the croc was feeling a bit below par?

Er, golf ball or…

I had a ball taken by an alligator whilst playing a course in Florida – does that count?

There’s a gold course in Australia with sharks in one of their water hazards…!

Puts a different light on the term, water hazard.

Golfers?

They look much better as leather handbags.

Apparently they usually stuff the body into a crevice, and leave it for time to do its work on the flesh, which makes it more palatable; rather like hanging game, I suppose.
