Georgia golf course worker films giant alligator in response to Florida footage

SAVANNAH, Ga., June 2 (UPI) -- An employee at a Georgia golf club captured video of the course's resident giant alligator in response to a Florida course's similar viral footage.

Austin Swanger, tournament coordinator at The Club at Savannah Harbor, posted a video to Facebook showing the large alligator dubbed Chester wandering around the golf cart path behind the 1st hole green.

Swanger said he wanted to show off the course's resident reptile in response to viral footage of an enormous gator wandering around the Buffalo Creek Golf Course in Palmetto, Fla.

"Since everyone seems to be fascinated with the big gator in Florida that has gone viral, I present to you our big boy here in Savannah!" he wrote.

Swanger said the alligator can most often be seen between holes 2 and 11, but he occasionally wanders out to other parts of the course.
