As pointed out in an earlier Life on Tour story, Monday was spent travelling west from Miami along Florida Highway No. 14 and then north to Tampa Bay and the next stop on the 2014 PGA Tour.
However while our journey took us to the Miccosukee Indian Village we also stopped by at a Wildlife park where alligators were in plenty of abundance and just lazing in the hot sun right alongside the roadway at the Big Cypress Nature Preserve as you will see from the close-up photographs and video.

Good friend and Sunday Post colleague, Doug Proctor has raised the possibility of the 28-year old Knox teeing-up in Tom Watson’s Gleneagles side should he qualify automatically.

McIlroy & McDowell Praise McGinley’s Vice-Captain Selections
The US Open winning duo of Rory McIlroy and Graeme McDowell have warmly applauded the appointment of fellow Irishman Des Smyth and Scotland’s Sam Torrance as the initial two European Ryder Cup vice captains.
And key in the comments of both McIlroy and McDowell is the word ‘trust’ in that McGinley has chosen two players who are long-time good friends and that he can trust.
“I am a big fan of both of them, Des and Sam, and Sam’s always a guy I have enjoyed being with and ...
Donaldson Moves Second Overall On Ryder Cup Points Table Despite Doral Disappointment.
Welshman Jamie Donaldson has moved closer to making his Ryder Cup debut later this year despite left counting the costs of a final hole bogey in the WGC – Cadillac Championship in Miami.
Donaldson was just one shot behind eventual champion Patrick Reed heading to the final hole of the ‘Blue Monster’ course when he leaked his second into a greenside bunker before ending with a bogey five in a round of 70.
Reed, who went into the last day leading by two, also bogeyed the last but it was still ...
