Golfers at Carbrook Golf Club in Queensland in Australia can certainly boast testing themselves against one of the sport’s scariest water hazards ever – a lake of Zambezi or Bull sharks. The “hazards” have apparently been around for some time but thankfully we now have a video for proof.
According to the club:
In the early 90’s, the Logan River burst its banks, resulting in large volumes of water covering the course for an extended period of time.
As the water level dropped, large volumes of fish species were contained in the many creeks and lakes of Carbrook. For years, rumours abound of a shark in the lake.
It was rarely sighted but often talked about. In more recent years, sightings have become a regular occurance, often more than one being seen at a time.
Some of the sharks are purported to be up to 10 feet long and a spokesman has claimed “There are up to 30 in there.”
For years their existence was thought to be just a good old wives tales, but video footage has now revealed how they swim near the fairway along the 15th.
General manager Scott Wagstaff says he has even taken to feeding them with chickens.
The club has since adopted a shark as its mascot and players are being invited to take part in the once-a-month Shark Lake Challenge – although no one has yet retrieved their lost balls.
