My dad used to always say there’s a fine line between brave and dumb. Captain Mike is walking that line. On Thursday, the golfer with the swashbuckling nickname made waves on Golf Reddit thanks to this video of him playing a hazardous recovery shot from the edge of a water hazard with a giant gator sleeping just feet away. Apparently, Captain Mike forgot how Captain Hook lost his hand.

Jupiter, FL

ATLANTA — Thanks to Smylie Kaufman’s ability to multi-task, Justin Thomas deplaned in Jupiter, Fla., a happy and relieved individual late Sunday. Flying home from Colorado after finishing T-39 at the BMW Championship at Castle Pines, Thomas was a bit of a nervous wreck. He was on the bubble for one of the last spots in the season-ending Tour Championship and his emotions fluctuated between not wanting to know where he stood and needing to follow every shot.

Ideally, you'd spend a good amount of time in the gym to not only keep in shape and prevent injuries but also to train to be able to physically hit the toughest shots. You've got to be strong enough to advance the ball out of deep rough. You've got to be stable enough to hit a 40-yard greenside bunker shot. You've got to be flexible enough to flush a 4-iron off tightly mown grass.

No time for the gym? Then use these 4 'cheats' to hit some of the hardest shots in golf

My brain can almost not compute this…

Great white sharks are obviously one of the most feared predators on planet Earth. They reach 20 feet long, 5,000 pounds, and have a mouthful of razor sharp teeth that can bite with a mindboggling 18,216 Newtons of force. For reference, a pit bull’s bite is around 1,045 and an alligator’s is around 16,000.

They can swim at speeds of up to 25 mph, go down to depths of 3,900 feet, and have no known natural predators, other than on very rare occasions orcas, meaning pretty much no sea creature is safe anywhere in the ocean…

And if all their underwater measurables weren't enough, they can breach the surface and send themselves soaring through the air, reaching heights of over 10 feet.

Their breaching behavior is extremely hard to document since they use it as a tactic to hunt seals, which makes this footage even more astounding.

A videographer captured a monster great white breaching near the shoreline in Mossell Bay, South Africa while chasing a seal decoy used by scientists to monitor the behavior of the killing machine.

Don’t think I’ll be swimming in South Africa anytime soon…

Alaska State

When confronted with a charging bear, the instinct to flee can be dangerously misleading. Running from a bear can provoke its instinct to chase, escalating the situation into a potentially fatal encounter. Instead, experts recommend standing your ground, making yourself appear larger, and creating loud noises to ward off the animal. A recent video shared by Scenic Bear Viewing in Alaska demonstrated this technique, showing a group of photographers facing down a grizzly bear. One of the guides, Martin, even mimicked charging the bear, successfully causing it to retreat. This approach works because most charges are bluffs, meant to intimidate rather than attack.

You Should Never Run From a Charging Bear But Here’s What You Should Do Instead

SUTTON COLDFIELD, England — Almost half a century has slipped by since the beginning of a working relationship that continues today. It was in 1978 at a Hennessy Cognac Cup match between a Great Britain & Ireland team and one from the Continent of Europe that a 21-year-old Nick Faldo first played competitively at The Belfry. And now, 46 years on, the now Sir Nick is hosting the Betfred British Masters at the same venue, but on a course that has seen much change and improvement over the passage of time.

It wasn’t her first exasperated exclamation. “Argh, oh crap,” was her immediate reaction to learning a federal judge had given the Bureau of Land Management the OK to proceed with plans to fully remove two wild horse herds from the landscape in southwest Wyoming.
