course at the country's biggest game reserve, Kruger National
Park.
29-year-old Jacque van der Sandt was with friends retrieving
golf balls from a lake when he was taken by the beast and
dragged beneath the surface.
A two-hour search for the crocodile and his victim eventually
turned up Van der Sandt, who had tooth marks on his front
and back. The crocodile was also found, and was killed by
park rangers.
The victim, the son of a park employee, was at a golf course
next to a staff residential area on the world-famous reserve
where he had grown up.
He was in waist-deep water searching for balls beneath the
surface of Lake Panic, a stretch of water created by a dam
across a river, at the time of the attack
"One guy challenged the other to see who can retrieve the
most golf balls," police officer Oubaas Coetzer told AP.
