Two completely different ways to deal with an alligator on a golf course
Cody Gribble and Smylie Kaufman offered up two different ways of dealing with alligators on a golf course at the Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill Club & Lodge in Orlando, Florida.
Gribble took the reckless route, while Kaufman employed the classic scream-and-run tactic. Check out the videos below, each of which went viral for their own reasons.

What GolfWRXers are saying about Kevin Kisner’s new Callaway X Forged CB irons
In our forums, our members have been discussing Kevin Kisner’s new Callaway X Forged CB irons which he has in the bag at this week’s CJ Cup. WRXers have been commenting on the switch and the clubs themselves in our forums.
For lots more photos, check out the full thread here.
Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.
- btyh: “Holy offset.”
- Glf_LU: “These are interesting. Not going to make a rush to judgement until I see them in person. It does look like a little more offset than I would expect to see in this model.”
- bcflyguy1: “Kisner is not one to make a lot of equipment changes (see the GBB driver he’s still using), so if these do have staying power in his bag that will be interesting to see. I have to wonder if there’s something different about his set, because like others have mentioned there appears to be more offset on his than I recall seeing in the samples I’ve had in hand.”

WATCH: PGA Tour players play hole blindfolded and it’s hilarious/amazing
As part of a Srixon campaign, four PGA Tour players recently participated in a three-hole challenge, with each hole being a different game; hole No. 1 was blindfolded, hole No. 2 was costumes and distractions, and hole No. 3 was alternate shot with a baseball bat. The teams were Smylie Kaufman and Sam Ryder against Shane Lowry and Grayson Murray.
Watch the full video below, since it is quite entertaining (albeit not the type of golf that Old Tom Morris surely had in mind), but in particular, make sure to check out the first hole where Lowry and Ryder play a full hole completely blind folded. It’s amazing to watch how badly Ryder struggles, and how Lowry nearly makes par.
What happens when 4 #PGATOUR pros take a day off?
Luckily, the cameras were rolling.

Cleveland-Srixon’s marketing department has been hard at work crafting these viral-esque ad campaigns; if you remember, former long-drive champion Jamie Sadlowski recently dressed as 80-year-old Grandpa Jamie to fool range-goers. That video has since gathered over 1.2 million views on YouTube.

As a Floridian, almost every course I play has gators. They are peaceful and will leave you alone for the most part… BUT, they are much faster than you think. If that gator turned towards Cody there is no way he’s getting away unscathed.

Hey Cody, I have personal experience with a gator in Florida. That thing is lightning fast and could have chosen his leg just as fast as it chose the water. You’re one LUCKY dude that you got to finish your round!

I’ve grown up with gators my whole life, they are as afraid of us as we are of them. What Cody did is what I do almost on a daily basis when I fish the banks of my farm… Treat them with respect…

You sound like that guy who owns a pit bull….”no, no…it’s a great dog”….but a total stranger would never slap its arse and expect to get away with it evertime

Don’t own bull terriers, but they are great dogs. It’s the owners I worry about. I own different types of animals, from dogs, cats, horses, cattle, chickens, etc… I am a veterinarian… Love all of God’s creatures.

Would have been awesome if the tour fined CG for being a total idiot (let’s say $50k)
