I wonder how he'd feel if I hit him in the head with a 200 mph golf ball cuz he made too much noise while getting cornholed in prison.

What a jerkoff.

Some of you will hate me me for saying this but....
holy crap! That is some serious golfing skill. Most of the time I can't even hit the green from 75 yards away, much less a bird. I suck at golf.

Yep, that guy is an idiot. But almost equally pathetic is that a lot of people sat by and watched him repeatedly try to hit the bird without doing anything.

75 yards is not that far if you are a Tour professional for 20 years and use a driver or a 3-wood and have a couple of dozen tries.

No hate here. I agree with you - definitely very skilled.

I do say though... if the course was indoors and the bird had no business being there, more power to him for taking it out. Good luck catching a hawk and putting it outside.

But come on.. you're invading that bird's habitat...then you get pissed off and kill it? Weak. I hope Johnny Knoxville got that guy with his air horn once or twice before.

yes, but violating the migratory bird act can be as bad.

just food for thought.

the dude was a tool for doing what he did.

Red Shouldered Hawks (Buteo Lineatus) are very vocal this time of year.

You hear why this would piss of a golfer can't you?



Still, why would anyone do that to a bird....

He's a tool, true, but what of his 15 person crew. They regretted it later? Since when is it cool to shoot to kill a bird. What is this Jr. High?

I do think it is some skill being able to hit that small of a target. Still it was wrong.

Any weekend hacker stupid enough to even joke about hitting the bird should consider the possibility that they might hit that once in a lifetime shot and actually hit the hawk. In other words, don't even risk it.

For a professional golfer to say he didn't think he'd hit it has got be the weakest excuse ever. Dude, your like 1% of 1% of the population of golfers that make it to the PGA Tour - <N.Dynamite voice>IDIOT!</voice>

I'm fairly decent with the wrenches, and I would never aim at something that I'd regret hitting (except maybe the range worker cart ) because you never know...

It's sad that the crew was too timid to saty anything probably for fear that the'd lose their jobs.

I was wondering when that would surface on here, that video and the marine that did it are very disturbing.
