The “Golf Caddie Vs. Alligator” Standoff Turned Out Surprisingly Well For The Caddie

“This can’t end well,” you think. A human – armed with only a rake – vs. an alligator? In the gator’s natural habitat? But Kip Henley, the caddie for golfer Brian Gay, in attempting to clear the way for Gay to hit a shot during the first round of yesterday’s RBC Heritage event, (thankfully) came out on top:

We can only speak for ourselves, but we never thought of “ability to handle potentially dangerous wild animals” as a job requirement for a caddie, but anything for the player, we guess. And as far as confrontations with alligators go, this wasn’t too bad – that was a pretty submissive gator.

Unfortunately, Gay hasn’t been able to capitalize much on Henley’s efforts thus far – he’s 3-over as of this writing, and is in danger of missing the cut. But no matter what happens from here, Henley’ had a hell of a tournament. If only all golf-related interactions with gators went this smoothly. RIP, Chubbs Peterson.
