A young man drowned after his friends dared him to go swimming in a lake at an exclusive golf club.
The 23-year-old was egged on by friends to take a dip in the water at Emerald Lakes Golf Club on Alabaster Drive in Carrara, on the Gold Coast, at 9.40pm on Sunday.
Superintendent Geoff Sheldon said the man had been drinking all afternoon and described the fatal mix of alcohol and swimming as ‘fatal’.

‘Mucking around with mates and he’s gone under the surface and drowned,’ he told ABC Gold Coast.

‘It would appear that he had been drinking in the afternoon and the fatal mix of alcohol and water seems to have taken another victim, unfortunately.’
The man was pulled from the water unconscious before bystanders performed CPR in an attempt to revive him.
Emergency services then arrived on scene but could not resuscitate him.
A Queensland Ambulance spokesman said the man had stopped breathing by the time paramedics reached the golf course.
Police are preparing a report for the coroner.
The golf course was reopened with golfers spotted playing on the green early on Monday morning.
