And just when I thought that Australians couldn't get sharks involved in anything new. Actually this started in 1996 when a nearby tidal basin flooded and left a wide variety of fish as well as several bull sharks in the lake. It's between the 12th and 15th holes, and is marked with large signs warning people not to go in after their lost golf balls. Bull sharks are one of a few species of sharks that can adapt to live in fresh water, and have been known to travel hundreds of miles up rivers including the Ohio and the Mississippi.
Check out a video of the lake sharks here...
This is the Carbrook Golf Course in the Brisbane area on the eastern coast of Australia. Golfers have been known to bring red meat and chicken to feed the sharks. This is one of many courses I'd LOVE to play, for entirely non golf-related reasons. I'd pay my fee, walk to the lake, and sit down under a tree with a pipe, a cooler full of Fosters and a bag of chicken necks for a few hours. Too bad it's on the other side of the friggin planet.
