Florida golfer drowns after looking for lost ball in pond, police say.

A Florida golfer was believed to have drowned Sunday morning after searching for his lost golf ball in a pond, authorities said.

Hermilo Jazmines, 74, was playing golf with a friend at the East Lake Woodlands Country Club in Oldsmar, about 16 miles northwest of Tampa, according to the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office. At about 7:37 a.m., Jazmines teed off at hole number three and was last seen looking for his ball near the green, the office said.Deputies were called after Jazmine was reported missing, according to the sheriff’s office.

"Jazmines’ golf cart was parked on the cart path and his putter was found lying on the ground near the water," the sheriff's office said. After law enforcement officials and Oldsmar emergency personnel conducted a widespread search of the wooded area, deputy divers located the body of Jazmines submerged in the water near his putter.The sheriff’s office said the medical examiner’s office would conduct an autopsy to determine the cause and manner of death, but his death did “not appear to be suspicious at this time.”

Hope he was orange

Plz let it be donald trump...

Was it trump. Nope, moving on.

The story forgets to report the most important fact : it was a titleist 2

He might have been dragged by a gator.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

An enemy of trump?

Ball drop is points. Play from the bottom of the pond.

Florida... golf...lost his balls..Trump?

Was kind of hoping the Florida golfer was trump.

Being that no sensible man would consciously want to lose his balls the commitment he made to jump in the water and search for his missing one, in defiance of the frightful odds of success, showed he had a warlike spirit of unwavering dedication to get it back. RIP

Was it Trump?

I would have expected a gator getting him over him drowning. I would trust any pond in Florida

Trump supporter no doubt and most likely inebriated. Sorry for his/her grieving family. 🙏🏻💔

It’s not a sport to start with. But if you drown looking for a 3 dollar golf ball after paying a 100 dollar green fee your pretty much irrelevant.

Hopefully, it was The Former Guy

Trump?

There wouldn't happen to be a pond like that at Mar-a-lago would there? Just wondering.

Too bad it wasn't cheeto jesus....

How deep is this pond!

That’s just sad.

Now why couldn't trump have looked for his lost balls? 😁

At first I read that as Florida governor and got my hopes up.

I know it’s wrong....but I can daydream about the massive act of Karma.....

MaxWhiteWXYZ nope, not that serious.

Florida, the designated peeing area of the the United States pool.

FloridaMan

This poor man died wearing ugly plaid pants and a stupid argyle sweater

He was 10 under.

Is wasn’t sleepy was it?

Golf is not only a stupid pastime it will kill you..

For a second I thought it might the ex-president who stares at eclipses but then I realized he would never get out of his golf cart until his lie had been improved.

Trump

So he didn't drown while looking for the ball.

Was his face kind of orange-y?

Definitely not his lucky ball .

Is that a one or two stroke penalty?

😢

Florida, Florida, Florida.

Let's not overlook golf's environmental impact on nature.

Why the hell would anyone and I'm assuming, challenged in swimming jump into a Florida lake filled with gators for a damn bogie!🤔

Gator sh_t by now.

That would be you😂

Couldn’t he just buy some more balls🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️alligators and snakes should have kept him out of the lake so sad 😞

twoyutes7 You okay Bro?

Bruh...

Another Darwin Reward Recipient... WHY?

Come on 'Florida Man' you're better than this.

In other news man hits ball in water and proceeds to grab another ball out of his bag and takes penalty stroke. Don't be a cheap ass.

Guess it wasn’t Trump?

GamblingPodcast Perhaps this person needs to be remembered in a Real Men of Degens? I can't prove that gambling was involved, but c'mon... probably.

Darwinism at its finest people

FCKn ProV1 fault. Titleist should be held accountable just like Biden wants to hold gun makers accountable.

Twitter is full of jerks. Imagine this was your dad, or brother, or grandpa, 74 and golfing at seven in the morning. Would he not go looking for his ball? Do you think the guy died on purpose? JFC.

Was it trump?!

Just how deep is this pond?

Was he by chance a really fat ex president 😁

Was it trump I hope

Amazed at these comments. The man was 74. A little grace would be nice, but everyone is a smarta$$ comedian.

Lots of assumptions here but there’s even a possibility he had some sort of medical emergency and as a result fell in the water. Autopsy will reveal the cause of death

Did he find it?

was he by any chance big and orange

Florida man, Florida man.

Guess he didn't find it then.

Dad?

Was it a Pro V? If so...worth it.

I've heard stories... but why would you go in a FL lake looking for a ball knowing that alligators are known to be in such bodies of water?

'No, it wasn't him. Unfortunately.' - A. J. Parkinson

Not the Florida golfer we were all hoping it would be.

Why? Was it his only ball? Sheesh

All that water in FL and can’t swim

Too bad it wasn’t dRUMPFy.

Was his first name donald?

Is Florida Golfer a spin off of Florida Man?

My sympathy to his family. I’d never look for a lost ball in any water in Florida. Too afraid of gators.

One question: was it a really fat guy with fake blonde hair that maybe was impeached not once, but twice? (Asking for a friend.) gtconway3d

Was secretly hoping it was Trump.

I am surprised he wasn't eaten by an alligator.

Was it trump?

Does not have to be deep waters either.

You couldn’t pay me all the money in the world to go into any body of water in Florida. The place is a swamp!

Wow just wow

golfball stood its ground

Duhhhu!!

Trump? Please say yes.

Just because Happy Gilmore could do it doesn't mean you have to try too.

I just knew Drumpf was going to pull some insanely dramatic stunt to avoid ultimate accountability for his crimes.

If only this could be Trumps surmise. Sorry couldn’t help myself.

RADANATL I know golf is all about honor and the rules, but that’s one hell of a one stroke penalty.

Now that’s taking golf way too seriously!

Tell me it was Trump. Now THAT would be news.

Was it the former guy?

To bad it wasn’t trump, then again don’t want to poison the fish.

So, he thought 40-50 dollar golf ball was worth more than his life

What the story neglects to say is that it was a titleist pro-v1

bscoot7

If Florida had been locked down still this never would have happened.

I’m not interested enough to read the article, but I am interested just enough to wonder just how deep a water trap has to be.

He must Florida man

Was it Trump

Very sub par I'd say.

Were his initials DJT. Has he been identified yet. You think, nah, too easy.

Donald?😁

Darwin award

Great minds...

Omg Florida

I'm so sorry. Drop another ball, play on.

Donald?

Please oh please be the donald!

I’ve had rounds when I considered jumping into a pond and drowning myself.

Tragic. Condolences.

Was it tRump?

Lost his life for .59 cents ball. RIP ☹️

How sad... 😥

Trump ?

Can’t lose those ProV1s..

I'm sure a gator dragged him under. First they drown you, then let you rot, then they eat you. Fun, wow, for $5 ball.

Hey man, them pro v1s expensive

Was he dragged down by an alligator? Otherwise, that was one stupid golfer.

Wasn't Trump was it !! Gonna say must of been democrats close playing too must of drink to much Kool aid

🤔Was it a former President living at Mar-a-Lago?

I am very sorry this happened but the first thing I thought was; is it Trump?

When my golf ball goes into a pond or lake in Florida, I drop another ball and move on...🐊🐊🐊

Sooo close

This headline let me down 😩

Was it a 14k Gold Ball? Dang! such a shame to lose your life and especially for just a plain golf ball. God Bless the Family.

Was the guy all covered in orange & shit stains on his pants?

Was it Trump? 🤞

TheDCLBlog you good man?

AlMasterFlirty1 'no no I can get it. I see it'

Are you sure it wasn’t Trump?
