Professional golfer casually shoos away gator at Bay Hill

ORLANDO, Fla. – American golfer Cody Gribble was in the middle of his round at the Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill when he spotted a gator on the green. 

Instead of running scared, he decided his own gator-handling skills were up to par. 

Gribble, cool as a cucumber, gave the gator a little pat on the tail. Instead of fighting back, the gator then went scurrying into the water. 

When asked about the incident Gribble said, "I've done it a couple times before." He added, "Those guys, I mean, it's like a jolt, it's quick, they're not going to catch you, they're not going to catch you if you're a couple steps down." 

So remember, if you're ever golfing and a gator is near, Gribble is the guy you want to be with.
