英伦广角 2011-11-05 鲨鱼侵入高尔夫球场（在线收听） |
If your game lacks bites, come and play around this course near Brisbane, but beyond your guard are the 14th tee, because this is probably the world’s only shark-infested golf course. In the lake in the middle of the course, live half a dozen manatee bull sharks. During heavy floods, they were washed onto the course from the nearby river. When the water receded, the sharks were stranded. Golf course flooded below the river, and so flooded at the town. There you go.The general manager of Carbrook golf cub get some interesting reactions from visiting players.
You can’t believe how close you are, that’s probably the biggest thing, I mean, you only, you be 6 feet away, you know. So they just sort of ignore me and I just step back, they say something I won’t repeat. But, yeah, just amazed.
The sharks are thriving in the well stocked lake, even breeding, a couple are close to ten foot long. They sometimes given their own treat, one even had a nibble at our camera.
How is it like working on a shark-infested golf course?
It’s ...close. It’s, yeah, they are in this close obviously.
There is , there, look.
In the past, local kids used to jump in the lake here to collect lost golf balls for a bit of extra pocket money. Funny enough, no amount of money will get them to go in the lake today.
Australia’s most famous golfer, Greg Norman ,was nicknamed the shark. But what to members think of their version.
First time I ever saw, there were some men were feeding and it came up, it was just like jaws, coming up high in the water.
Girls are, yeah, very excited. Look, look, look, there is a shark. And now it’s just about hit my ball, I was impressed.
Did you get a bit of scared when you play?
No, not at all. We are truly exciting when we see it.
Water has its odd tricky for any golfer, but this must be the ultimate, the sharks are quite a draw, there is even a "Shark Lake Challenge", an increasingly popular tournament, players love getting their tees into.
