A New Meaning to Water Hazards

At Brisbane's (Australia) Carbrook Golf Club they have brought new meaning to the term water hazards on the golf course. In one of their water hazards they have bull sharks! Apparently the sharks came to the lake/water hazard when the river flooded with salt water and brought the sharks along with it. When the waters receded the sharks became stranded in the pond. Considering that I thought sharks were salt water creatures, I would have expected them to die in the fresh water lake, however, they did not and they are actually breeding! They are living on the fish that inhibit the pond, as well as the occasional chunk of meat that is fed to them by some of the groundskeepers.

While I enjoy a new challenge on the course I'm not sure how I feel about man-eating sharks infesting one of the water hazards that are on the course I am playing. Yes, they are man-eating sharks. I suppose it's a great way to draw the curious and dare-devil golfers out there to your course, but I have one piece of advice:  If you hit your ball into this water hazard don't reach in with your hand to retrieve the ball. Take the extra stroke and drop a new ball!
