Killer Sharks Invade Golf Course In Oz

Know we have a few guys on the forum from this area - wondered if this a wind up or a genuine story ????

********************

Water hazards are a challenge for anyone who plays golf, but on the 14th tee at the Carbrook Golf Club in Brisbane there is another reason to be concerned.

Half a dozen man-eating bullsharks live in the lake in the centre of the course where their fins poking through the water have become a regular sight.

The sharks got onto the Queensland golf course when it flooded some years ago after a river broke its banks.


They became stranded when the water receded, but now they are thriving and even breeding.

I don't know what's worse - the sharks or that reverse pivot at the beginning of the video.

True. Bull sharks have been found as far North as St Louis up the Mississippi River.
