Malaysian golfer attacked by crocodile
Snip from BBC News

Golf is not often seen as a dangerous pastime. But 42-year-old company director Terry Hong Kee Siong needed 38 stitches after a crocodile grabbed his leg as he was playing at Malaysia's A Famosa Resort.

Mr Hong is now suing the resort for damages, saying he has not hit a golf ball since the incident, which happened in January.

Mr Hong said he was looking for his golf ball at the seventh hole, when he stepped on what he thought was a piece of wood.

"It turned out to be a crocodile," he said. "It bit me."
