Shark Sighting on Golf Course and It Isn't Greg Norman

Golf club employees in Southern California came to the rescue when a shark dropped out of the sky and flopped around on the 12th tee.  It wasn't Greg Norman in one of his helicopters.

San Juan Hills Golf Club operations director Melissa McCormack says a course marshal found the leopard shark Monday afternoon and brought it to the clubhouse.

The shark had puncture wounds where it appeared it had been snagged from the Pacific Ocean, about five miles away.

Realizing the shark was still alive, the golfers stuck the approximately 2-pound shark into fresh water before somebody remembered it came from the sea, so they got some sea salt from the clubhouse kitchen and added it in.

An employee rushed the shark to the ocean where McCormack says it was very still for a few seconds before twisting around and speeding off.
