Florida man bitten in the face by alligator while playing disc golf

According to New York post

A Florida Frisbee golf player was bitten in the face by an alligator while retrieving one of the discs from a lake at a Largo park, according to a report.

Travis Spitzer, 40, was waist-deep in the lake at Taylor Park around 5 a.m. when the gator struck, grabbing him by his face and forcing him to fight for his life — and was ultimately able to free himself and flee to safety, WFLA-TV reported Tuesday.

Spitzer was hospitalized with cuts to his face and hands but is expected to recover, the outlet said.

It’s not the first time Spitzer has waded into the alligator-infested lake — he’s been busted for trespassing before for plunging into the water to retrieve the discs for other Frisbee golf players, most recently in January.
