Some turkeys tried to steal a few headlines at the U.S. Open over the weekend, but in Florida, it was a bigger, furrier creature that garnered some attention on a golf course – proving that Jack Nicklaus isn\’t the only bear to live in the Sunshine State.
A large black bear took a stroll through a Naples, Florida, golf community Sunday. No one was threatened, but the size of the bear did startle residents in the area of The Club at the Strand.
The club\’s general manager, Elvis Gooden Sr., told Fox 13 News in Naples \”that size bear I would expect to see at the zoo, not roaming our community, especially during the daytime.\”
Ross McGee, who works at the golf club, also spotted the bear and took video, which he posted on Facebook.
