An alligator on the golf course? When you live in Boca, it’s no big deal.
Over the last two years, avid golfer and Boca Raton resident Chuck Johns has taken photos of the wildlife he sees while on the greens at Osprey Point Golf Course. From hawks and osprey to turtles and even an alligator, he says he sees animals every time he goes.
And he goes pretty often, playing every Thursday and Friday.
“When I saw Big Bertha, the alligator, my thoughts were ‘get the camera and don’t get too close,’” Johns says.
Enjoy some of Johns’ photos that he shared with Boca magazine:
