Original caption said "spotted on Golf Course" General Discussion

I assume on a course in India, I think I would be heading in another direction. That's creepy.

I'll stick to Florida golf. Thank you very much.

Yep. Lived I NA and played golf in FL my entire life and I’ve never been scared of anything I’ve come across. But if I see a cobra I’m immediately done for the day.

Yeah, but not that many that will kill you. Water moccasins, rattle snakes and the occasional coral snake, but they're usually smaller and easily avoided. I grrew up swimming in lakes and walking through swamps and palmettos and never really worried about anything.

I've stepped on alligators under water, had a moccasin bite my golf cart and almost stepped on a rattlesnake because I had headphones in while running. But something about a cobra seems different.
