must be a pretty good shot.

Or a pretty big bird!

All he did was get a birdy.

"He just kept saying how he didn't think he could have hit it, which I think is a stupid thing for a PGA Tour golfer to say," said Jethro Senger, a sound engineer at the shoot. "He can put a ball in a hole from hundreds of yards away, and here he is hitting line drives at something that's, I don't know, a couple hundred feet away?"

This guy is probably neither "engineer" or golfer. A shot like that is rare even for those guys. I believe him when he says he didn't think he could hit it; but that's not a valid defense.

"The bird was buried at the golf course......"

That was silly. If you cook 'em just right they taste just like a whooping crane but not nearly as tasty as a bald eagle.

[Abominable Gorilla]

Yeah, all that seriousness aside...

"I don't understand," said Isenhour, "I SAID 'Fore.'"
"Yeah, I got the birdie. The reason I was hitting so hard is because I was trying to put a hole in one."

[MattB]

His inspiration....ouch!

Sounds like a shot Hachiman would pull off at the Country Club back in the day.

you and I both know I can't hit a green much less a bird.

Punishing this man for this is just stupid. I wouldn't know the odds, but I bet your more likely to get struck by lightning than hit a bird with a golf ball.

Could be ??, but I have a friend who (summer before last, or maybe it was the summer before ??) got hit in the leg by a stray-round (.22 cal.) while playing on the local country club golf course. No clue as to where it came from; could very well have been a mile away ??

Like Orville Moody used to say in the t.v. commercials,
"You just never know". :icon_wink:

I'd say that your chances of getting hit with a golf ball from 75 yards out, hit by a professional golfer are millions times more likely than getting struck by lightning.

Like the last paragraph says... if he just nicks the bird or scares it off, then we don't hear a chirp about it.
