I wonder how many charact
was playing on the par-5, 8th hole of my local golf course shooting 1 under par so far (my best round of the year to that point), when I shot a unreal 16. I stood on the tee box behind my ball and saw the "perfect line" down the fairway. I circled around to set up to my ball and proceeded to swing one of the most perfect swings I have ever felt. I had my head so still that I did not see the flock of geese flying over my landing area. The ball drilled one of the geese in the side and dropped it to the ground from at least 20 ft. high. My friends with me started laughing uncontrollably, so I looked up, and it was just laying in a clump in the middle of the fairway. It slowly got to its feet and started walking toward the water pond on the right. I decided to take another shot at my drive............
I hit a worm burner, a bullet disguised as a golf ball, it went straight down the fairway and hit the same goose in the leg. I couldn't believe it and knew this had to be some kind of omen telling me to quit. (one of those man vs. nature things). But like the true hacker I forged on and decided to play the ball where it finally landed. When I got to my 2nd shot there were still about 20 geese just walking about on the fairway, except for the one I hit of course, he was limping back towards the flock. I walked out toward my ball and was suddenly charged by 20 geese.(almost as if they knew that I had done it) I ran out and retrieved my ball and then dropped about 340 yards from the hole. I was so shaken from the experience that I hit the next 2 three woods into the water on the right and 2 more out of bounds. By the time it was said and done, I had a big fat 16 on my card, ruining my round. Later that year, that same foursome asked me to go hunting with them!!!!
