A Florida golfer drowned in a pond when he went to look for a lost golf ball, authorities reported.
On Sunday, the diver removed Hermilo Jazmines’ body from a pond at the Oldsmar Country Club, the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office reported.
Deputies said Jazmines, 74, was last seen playing golf just after 7:30 a.m. with a friend.
Witnesses told authorities he had gone to fetch his ball near hole three.
His golf cart was found still parked on the road while his putter was lying near the pond, authorities said.
Investigators said they believed Jazmines fell into the water and drowned.
Authorities said his death did not appear suspicious, but an autopsy has been ordered.
