Gator sightings on Florida golf courses are fairly common for most residents, but one golfer didn’t intend on his golf ball becoming a snack for one.

Daniel McNamara caught the alligator eating his golf ball Saturday, news partner WPTV Channel 5 reports.

McNamara told WPTV he was on his third hole at Long Marsh Golf Course in Rotonda West, Florida, when his ball hit a gator sitting on the shoreline of a lake.

Instead of turning away, the reptile walks up to the ball, takes it in his mouth and slowly backs into the pond.
McNamara did not mention if he took the penalty or not.
