Now this is a water trap!

If I played this course I think I would take the penalty...
THE world's most intimidating golf course has been discovered — boasting a lake full of man-eating SHARKS.


The fins of six bullsharks poking throught the water is a familiar sight for golfers at the 14th tee at Carbrook Golf Club in Brisbane, Australia.

The sharks got onto golf course when it flooded some years ago after a river broke its banks.

They became stranded when the water receded, but now they are thriving and even breeding.
Local kids have since given up retrieving lost balls from the water for extra pocket money.

Club general manager Scott Wagstaff said: "You can't believe how close you are. Just six feet away.

"There's no drama, it's become a positive thing for the golf course. They are amazing. I've become a shark lover since working here."

Although the lake is well stocked with fish, Mr Wagstaff sometimes throws in meat to encourage the sharks to come near the surface.

He said: "I'm sure they are aggressive when you are in the water but when you are out here feeding them they are beautiful to watch."
