Golf-Loving Sharks!!

  This is a novelty post for any golf-loving shark fans out there. The world renowned Shark Lake Challenge at Carbrook golf course near Brisbane in Western Australia is given its name for just that: a lake full of sharks!!
  Of course, this course's water hazard (what a coincidental name for it!!) is a fresh water lake, so there are only a handful of species that could live there; after several species of fresh water shark were ruled out because of climate preferences, three sharks were left in the frame: the Borneo River shark, the Ganges River shark and the notorious bull shark. Quite naturally, bad luck befell the golfers: their missing golf-balls were in the clutches of the world's most dangerous shark.
  It all started when the nearby Logan River broke its banks and flooded much of the surrounding land. When the tidal waters receded, everything proceeded as normal. Not a disturbance could be seen in the water feature, except for the occasional, hollow ker-plunk of a mishit golf ball penetrating its surface. However, one golfer soon spotted a dark grey fin on the lake. He reported it to the staff, who discarded it as a fantasy. Their reasoning was that their members tended to indulge in the occasional beer on the course and this wild flight of fancy was just a little bit of alcohol fuelled imagination.
  Despite this, more golfers soon reported the same thing. It was only when the staff were given some blurry, slightly off focus video footage of an unmistakable grey fin gliding across the water's surface.
  The staff called in marine biologists and several shark experts. After some careful examination of the sharks' behaviour, they deduced that not only were the sharks living in the water feature and feeding off the bream and carp that resided there, but that they were mating and breeding there too.
  Since the shocking discovery, the Shark Lake Challenge golf course was created and the sharks remain as much a part of the local wildlife as the birds, mice and insects which live around the fairways. Regular members sometimes throw pieces of chicken into the lake and watch euphorically and enthusiastically as young sharks devour the meat.
