Gator Golf

Product Information

Thankfully, one species of the nation’s most iconic animal is very little trouble at all, even for a course that accommodates hundreds of them. Gator Golf is a children's miniature golfing game. It was released in 1994 by the American game company Milton Bradley. In the game, children take turns putting into the mouth of a motorized plastic alligator figure, which then flings the ball off its tail and spins around, creating a new challenge for the next player. Gator Golf's commercial tag line was " Gator Golf - what could be greater than playing a game of golf with a gator?" It was released again in 2008, then in 2009 under the "Elefun and Friends" banner. It was then re-released in 2019 by Goliath Games. The game was then re-released again in 2020 by Toy City in the UK and its name was "Gator Golfers".

More than 300 Eastern Grey kangaroos enjoy total freedom of movement at Anglesea Golf Club, situated on the Great Ocean Road along Victoria’s stunning southern coastline, an hour’s drive from the center of Melbourne. Gator Golf was invented by toymaker Robert B. Fuhrer who had also developed the 1990 game Crocodile Dentist. Fuhrer submitted his idea for Gator Golf (then known as Crocodile Dentist Golf) to Milton Bradley in November 1992. Phil Grant and Mike Meyers of Milton Bradley played a key role in developing the game. Milton Bradley asked him to consider using a different animal in the game, such as a beaver or a dragon, but Fuhrer's original idea remained mostly intact. [1] The game debuted at the 1994 American International Toy Fair, [2] and became one of the most popular children's toys of the 1994 Christmas season.

Yet vigilance remains essential, especially for the two groups most at risk: those unaccustomed to the dangers of the local wildlife, and those searching for golf balls away from the open fairways and greens. a b c Drew Fetherston.

Bring in up to 5 opponents, or play solo if you want to. Of course, you can even go for a practice round. If you're an experienced mini golf player, you can hop right into the game in the match mode!

As vegetarians, the kangaroos exist on a diet of grass – predominantly the longer type around the course’s edges – bark, and leaves. A strong wildlife presence does not make Aussie golf unique: the histories of professional events being interrupted by various creature cameos – from squirrels to seagulls and deer – are well-documented. You have a total of 9 holes to try, and each one will bring forward new obstacles. Pass through muddy swamps, crocodile mouths, active volcanoes, and many others! Of course, this should not be a problem for a brave pirate such as yourself!

Yet the kangaroos may actually require less upkeep than people, effectively “managing themselves,” Lacey added. The department told the ABC it was unusual behaviour for a small crocodile to interact with people.
