The animals are usually docile and no threat to players but not on this occasion.

The shocking clip shows the beast run from the surrounding rough onto a road used to get between greens.

The alligator gets in the way of the golf cart, causing it to swerve off the road.

The sharp right turn almost sent the cart flying into a pond, where more alligators are likely to frequent.

The clip was uploaded to X, formerly known as Twitter.

It was captioned with “Florida golf just hits different.”

One X user wrote: “Damn, dinosaurs are coming for us.”

Another said: “Can confirm” about alligators being common on Florida courses and posted a video of him shooing away one of the animals with his club.

Another wrote: “Did they drive in the lake? I’m not sure they’re out of peril.”

A fourth posted: “This is my type of golfing.”

While a fifth said: “Apparently he thought a warm meal was being delivered to him…” – alongside a laughing emoji.
