Default Hazards on a golf course

Anyone here play golf, I got to go and play 18 on Friday, shot a 95 (happy dance). We all know about Hazards on the course, sand traps and the rough or all grass, well how about one of these?

He was at the edge of the green on hole 7 about 30 ft up.

I don't golf and never have. My step-mom got hit in head with a stray ball once. That is a hazard.

All we have on our courses are gators. And, thankfully, they can't climb trees.

I haven't encountered that one yet. thankfully.
it's interesting that the USGA changed the names to penalty areas and not hazards anymore.
I suspect a lawyer was involved.
A bear, that's a hazard.

I think I'd rather they were in trees than at ankle height.

A friend was golfing in an exotic location and his tee shot landed right in front of a King Cobra He decided to forfeit that shot even though his local caddy said he would move the snake

Don’t think that is one I will worry about, but in Texas, I have been told to let balls in the rough go due to snake activity

True, but they can run fairly fast.
