Golfer apologizes for shot that killed protected hawk

Quote


ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Pro golfer Tripp Isenhour apologized for killing a hawk that was making noise while he tried to film a TV show. Now the Humane Society wants the PGA Tour to take action.

(snip)

The 39-year-old player, whose real name is John Henry Isenhour III, became angry while filming ``Shoot Like A Pro'' on Dec. 12 at the Grand Cypress Golf Club when a squawking red-shouldered hawk roughly 300 yards away forced another take.

He drove closer to the bird in his golf cart and starting hitting balls at it. The bird didn't move and Isenhour gave up and drove away.

Isenhour started again when the hawk moved within about 75 yards, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission officer Brian Baine indicated in a report.

Isenhour allegedly said, ``I'll get him now,'' and aimed for the hawk.

``About the sixth ball came very near the bird's head, and (Isenhour) was very excited that it was so close,'' Baine wrote.

A few shots later, witnesses said he hit the hawk. The bird, protected as a migratory species, fell to the ground bleeding from both nostrils.

Honestly I can't believe he thought he would really hit it.

Golf balls don't go exactly where you want them, ever.

If he wasnt trying to hit the bird then it is all the more reason not to hit balls at it.

If he actually ran up to it and smashed it with a club I think that would be wrong but to be able to hit the feckin bird with a golf ball, now that's pretty impressive. For punishment he should have to wear blue jeans and t-shirts for one whole year. Nothing pisses a golfer off more than not being able to where their sweet Tiger Woods gear.

Hell, I can't even hit the stupid cart guy that scoops up the balls at the driving range. But I don't stop trying.

Do you know how hard it is to hit a golf ball where you want it to go with any accuracy?

These guys fire at the pin all day long, and miss.

Golfers are such a bunch of whining pussies.
It ain't like some guy is throwing the ball at them from 60'6" away for them to try to hit.
They dress funny, too!

Six balls plus a few more.  Let's say 11 in total.  I'll gladly whack the ignorant f*ck about the face and ears with one of his own clubs 10 times - let's see him bleed through both nostrils.

It's cruelty and it really pisses me off.

For punishment, he should have to stand 75 feet from a golfer with a similar handicap while that golfer shoots the same number of balls at his head.

Fucking asshole.

When you're a pro they can.  I saw a friend of mine who turned pro line up 10 balls on a driving range.  He would point to the spot where he'd drive the ball and 9 out of 10 went exactly where he said it would.  And these were some smashing drives.  I think the guy deserves what he gets.
