How do you score this drive? Birdie? In baseball, it might be called a fowl ball.

Didn’t the crazy Canadians charge a American baseball player with a crime for killing a pigeon with a line drive?

I remember playing Kickball with one of those big red rubber balls in elementary school and kicking a hard pop fly that nailed a passing seagull. Total fluke thing.

What do the rules of golf say about this? Did he get a mulligan?

What he says at the end reminded me of this old clip from Fallujah, 2006:

Happened to a friend I was playing with one time. He hit his tee shot into a gaggle of geese that were sitting on the fairway. His drive clocked one of them and it was lights out.

I remember being kind of sad about it.

I took out a crow on a fairway shot on a course in Oak Creek AZ, near Sedona. The rest of the crows took offense with much noise & flapping of wings around the stiff form of their buddy.

Hopefully it wasn’t out of season and the upside? No birdshot to pick out before you cook the duck!

I had a set of Ben Hogan’s 20 years ago and my brother took a swing with my 3 wood.

Well, the head of club came off and went flying. Directly behind the flying club head was a bird, who luckily lived.

Funny as hell but, hitting it would been even funnier...

I once took out a sea gull surf casting with a 2 ounce pyramid weight. Had to cut loose the whole rig. It was tangled around a dead bird.

Watching Randy Johnson hit a bird with a pitch was enough for me-——I can’t watch.

About 20 years ago I was playing golf in Costa Rica. Long par five, dogleg left. Decent drive but on the left edge of the fairway. Caddie said that if I could hit a big hook I could make it to the green in two.

Three wood off the deck, just turned it over a little too much and the ball was heading for a huge tree at the dogleg.

Smacked a Howler Monkey that was in the tree and he fell out of the tree and hit the ground like a sack of cement. I thought I killed the sucker, but he hopped up and climbed back in the tree and he and all of his buddies started howling up a storm.

Caddie convinced me to skip the rest of the hole since the monkeys were really riled up. Came back by on a parallel hole about an hour later and those Howlers were still howling.

I demand an investigation into whether there was criminal intent on the part of the player.
