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. The game debuted at the 1994 American International Toy Fair, and became one of the most popular children's toys of the 1994 Christmas season. The game was released again in 2008, without the spins & changing the color to green to orange. In 2012, the color was turned back to green.
