Gator Golf
''Gator Golf'' is a children's miniature golfing toy from the American game company Milton Bradley. It was released in 1994. In the game, children take turns putting into the mouth of a motorized plastic alligator figure, which then flings the ball off its tail and spins around, creating a new challenge for the next player. ''Gator Golfs commercial tag line was "''Gator Golf'' - what could be greater than playing a game of golf with a gator?" It was then released again in 2008.
It is currently marketed under the "Elefun and Friends" banner with ''Elefun'', ''Mouse Trap'' and ''Hungry Hungry Hippos''.
==History==
''Gator Golf'' was designed by toymaker Robert B. Führer, who had also developed the 1990 game ''Crocodile Dentist''. Führer submitted his idea for ''Gator Golf'' (then known as ''Crocodile Golf'') to Milton Bradley in November 1992. Führer worked with Peter Russo on the project. Milton Bradley asked him to consider using a different animal in the game, such as a beaver or a dragon, but Führer's original idea remained mostly intact.〔Drew Fetherston. "Playing With Toys Is Serious Work: Robert B. Fuhrer's life revolves around games". ''Newsday''. December 5, 1994. C03.〕 The game debuted at the 1994 American International Toy Fair,〔Nancy Piccin.

The game was released again in 2008, without the spins & changing the color from green to orange. However, in 2012, the color was turned back to green.
