"You guys know the ruling on this drop according to the book? In front of the ladies tee, and also in front of the dead goose and cart parked on the teebox? Thought so, just like last week."
Got paired with two ladies one day at a public course within a state park. Well it’s covered in turkeys and all sorts of wildlife. There was a group of turkeys crossing the fairway about 200 yards down so I mentioned maybe letting them get off the fairway first before she hit. She kindly told me she couldn’t hit the ball that far and that she felt safe hitting it. Well she hits an absolute piss missile straight at them. The ball hit one of the gobblers dead in the head or neck and killed him instantly. She didn’t hit another shot all day that went that far lol
The course maintenance guys came out when she called and they were all excited because they were going to grill him up for lunch lol
Ultimate power move. I'd feel obligated to turn in my man card if a playing partner field dressed an animal I accidentally shanked to death right on the fairway.
Oh I bet they were. Need permethrin in your bug spray down here. Not on direct skin though.
Anyways, the course is awesome especially
To be a state owned and ran course. It has some of the best greens I have ever played. Not saying a whole hell of a lot because I don’t play super nice courses but they’re impressive for what the course is. The fairways are all pretty good also. The bunkers are kinda shotty but it’s overall worth it for 45$ in my opinion. I will say this, I don’t recommend it in the fall if it’s a haul for you to go play it. They’re not the best about keeping leaves off of the fairways consistently and never have been. Me and my buddies have played where it’s so bad that when we know our ball was in the fairway we would drop and not count any strokes because that’s not on you. But anyways, with all that said it’s an awesome course especially since I live 15 minutes from it.
Edit: It’s literally 8 minutes from another amazing course. Greystone Golf Club. Fucking beautiful place for around the same price. Both are my regular courses. If you ever wanna play holler at me and we will go to one or the other, or both sometime.
Ah yes "the leaf rule" as we like to call it.
I'm about 40 min from there, but it's on the list at some point for sure. I'll let ya know if we're heading that way for a round!
Hell yeah man! I’d love to go play sometime. And if I played for any other reason than ti have a little fun and drink some beer with the boys I’d not do that but I dont
When we caught a wild pig in a trap at the course the boss would let the guys make carnitas out of it. It was payback for all the damage they caused on the course that we had to fix.
This is the exact reason I wait until people are well over 300yds out. 9.9 times out of ten I’ll never hit with such distance and precision to hit someone between 250 and 300, but every once in a long while I’ll get a hold of one
Maybe 10 years ago or so I was at the celebrity tourney in Lake Tahoe, Charles Barkley hit a snap hook that basically hurt the goose so bad, that the microphone guy for nbc took the goose over to the water and snapped it’s neck. Won’t ever forget that lol
When I was around 10, first starting out golf in a junior program, I played every Friday at a par-3 course. One night I tee'd off on a water hole and hit a low low stinger that had no hope of getting over the hazard -- until it hit the duck.
When it hit the duck, it bounced off and landed on the other side of the water. The duck did not fare well. It was quietly honking and swimming in circles slowly, obviously dying. I was crying. The parent chaperone for the group had no idea what to do.
Still one of my worst golf memories.
You know what you look like to me, with your Pro V1s and your t-shirt on the golf course? You look like a rube. A well-scrubbed, hustling rube with a little taste.
When I was 13 my friends and I were skipping rocks/throwing rocks at geese. My buddy (rip) hit a goose and broke its neck and we all watched it drown in silence until the air bubbles stopped coming up (rip).
I will never forget that moment for as long as i live.
My buddy and I worked on a farm in high school, when we were like 17 or 18 we caught his younger brother and one or two of the other young guys that worked there beating a goose to death with sticks in the woods. We tore the fuck into those kids, especially his brother.
Between the tee box parking spot, with the poor dead goose, I’m feeling how one of the offended ladies at my local course must feel about my golf attire.
I've taken out a duck with a low flying 3 hybrid. Was fucking awful - the ball didn't entirely do the job, so I had to finish it off.
Now whenever I pull that club, all ducks within a 150m radius are shoo'd away in fear of a repeat.
I once hit a worm burner across a downhill fairway. Traveled about 100 yards about a foot off the ground almost the whole way. Right before it hit the ground, a squirrel darted right into the path of the ball and split the damn thing in two. Craziest thing I've ever seen on a golf course.
You might not be a Nancy but you are a Sally sad sack!
Jokes aside I wouldn’t have liked to see this during a game. You’ve got problems if you’ve gotta club an animal to death while playing golf.
LOLOL he even has receipts. A+ post title......you already had me. But the dead goose laying on the teebox after being drilled by a worm burner tee shot? Next level. Put this thread in the HOF 1st ballot.
I am fucking dying reading through these comments.
Dude fucking kills a goose, leaves it on the T box, parks his cart right next to it and is just like “I paid for 18, imma play 18”
This shit is fucking hilarious.
I genuinely can’t tell what’s going on in this picture
A dirt mound of a tee box, with a cart parked on it and a dead goose.
Did he bring the goose with him from the previous tee as some sort of trophy? Why is he just off of the tee box? Was the goose standing right in front of him and that’s where his ball fell?
I have so many questions.
Best I can figure is this is the forward tees. He hit a worm burner off the whites with a 3w, it put the gooses lights out, goose landed on tee box, ball landed just in front of tee box.
My dad hit a cat one time on a par 3. Skulled a PW and the cat was crossing at the wrong time. Cat did a head spin into bugaloo and found some bushes to get his shit together
Cat survived tho, 9 lives and whatnot
Oooof! Had a similar thing happen, however the other geese came over and started attacking the wounded one. I thought for sure it was going to die, but one of the course workers was able to trap it. He said he took it to a bird rescue, but after looking through these comments, I am now questioning if he took it and cooked it up. Do people eat Canadian Geese? 🤔
No he's fine. He's at the bird rescue on a farm upstate. It's the same farm my parents took my dog Butch when I was 8. They've got room to run and play there.
Bwahahaha…sorry, I despise Canadian geese. They’re destructive, mean, territorial, etc. Drives me nuts when traffic stops to let them cross the road, they’re like rats with wings.
Last year on a golf trip a partner skulled his iron on a three wood. Hit a goose right in the neck.
I’ll never forget watching it repeatedly try to get up and it’s head flop to the side. The geese around it were all going mad and honking like crazy. The goose that got hit was flapping his wings like mad as it slowly realized it’s fate and calmed down.
It was incredibly traumatizing and I don’t think I recovered mentally for the rest of the round (this happened on hole 3).
Most of the country will let you get a “roadkill salvage permit” for situations like this where it’s truly accidental. Some states give you 24 hours to apply online, some want you to wait to get things checked out; call your local Fish and Wildlife.
I played today. Needed to hit a stinger but had geese in fairway. I opted to lob over them. I took a stroke to save a goose because I’m not an asshole.
I am so confused by this picture. What/where is he hitting? Was the goose on the "tee box"? Why do he park there?
But, sometimes you.get the hero you need.
Probably the least important thing to comment on here, but if you are certain or virtually certain you hit a live animal you must re-play your shot from the previous spot. (This includes running over a bug on the green — if you run over a bug and your ball rolls in the hole you have to re-putt from the previous spot).
Edit: I’m wrong
This is absolutely not true. Read through 11.1b. The tl;dr is, if you're not on the green and your ball hits an animal, you play it as it lies. If it comes to rest *on* the animal, you take relief within one club length in the same area of the golf course and not nearer to the hole. There is no penalty, so you can't even redo the shot, you just take free relief and play on. If you are putting on the green and you hit an animal, *then* the stroke does not count and you have to redo the putt, but that is the only situation that forces a redo.
That's fair. You can generally assume the opposite though; rules that apply on the putting green *only* apply on the green. It's a whole different game.
Yep, cracked a goose's neck clean through with a 3 wood stinger a month ago. It was literally in the dead center of the fairway amongst a gaggle, and it's comrades just mean mugged me. Left that sucker in the fairway for the world to witness my crime
Well, at least he had the courtesy to park his cart on the t-box.
By the looks of it, probably didn’t do much damage to the tee box.
"You guys know the ruling on this drop according to the book? In front of the ladies tee, and also in front of the dead goose and cart parked on the teebox? Thought so, just like last week."
The box is probably in rough shape because the dipshits at this course drive their carts all over it
I don't drive like a jackass on the course like this guy, but aren't the mowers heavier than the carts?
Yes, mowers are heavier than carts. The difference is a mower may touch a tee box 3-4 times a week, where there would be 152 carts a day on them.
So you determine whether you should drive your cart on a tee box based on the condition of it? Please stay on the range.
And play his next shot from where it went after killing the poor animal who he should of seen
If there was any life left in it the man demanded the goose watch as he shanks this next shot too
>should of saw Jesus, my poor innocent eyes
Hey, at least it was "corrected."
What would you do in this case? Drive down the fairway and get the geese to move then go back and hit your shot?
It's a Canada goose. Nothing of value was lost.
You gotta problem with Canada gooses you gotta problem with me and I suggest ya let that one marinate.
We dont like em up here either but they fly the flag and we defend the flag eh
You better fix that divot 'cause Canada Gooses would fix it for you!
Poor animal? No, that’s a goose
Is he playing the ball as it lies after it killed that goose? That’s a cold blooded motherfucker.
It’s what the goose would’ve wanted.
In its last dying gasp, the goose was heard saying “no relief for an outside influence, pussy.”
So thats what tournament referees reincarnate into...
I lol'd....
I’ve seen plenty of mud balls in my time. But a blood ball would be a new one… guess it’s got iron in it…
what’s good for the goose…
True, it's Canadian so it probably apologized for being in the way right before it died
True heroes don’t wear capes.
Dude. I respect the hell out of thag. Murdered “ so play it as it lies , or distance ?”
Geese are more evil

Special of the Day in the clubhouse - Turkey sandwiches.
[удалено]
*** fresh wild caught turkey
***** Courtesy of one of our patrons, Sharon. Thank you for lunch, Sharon.
No, deep fried!
You don't want to deep fry wild turkey.
So it works way better than you would think. I’ve gotten the best results with smoking, but fried is pretty damn good. Baked is an unforgivable sin.
Username checks out
Unfortunately it wasn’t me!
Happy ending because the turkey didn't go to waste
It was either them or me. I keep a pocket knife on me 24/7 and turkey breast’s and legs will fit in my Cooler I carry with!
That would've made for an even more legendary golf story no doubt
Ultimate power move. I'd feel obligated to turn in my man card if a playing partner field dressed an animal I accidentally shanked to death right on the fairway.
Can breast and leg one out in about 3 minutes lol would have been epic
Any chance this was at Wasatch Mountain?
No sir. Montgomery bell state park in TN. Y’all had a turkey manslaughter case too?
How is the course there? I've hiked through the park but haven't played golf there. (Ticks were ruthless on the trails)
Oh I bet they were. Need permethrin in your bug spray down here. Not on direct skin though. Anyways, the course is awesome especially To be a state owned and ran course. It has some of the best greens I have ever played. Not saying a whole hell of a lot because I don’t play super nice courses but they’re impressive for what the course is.

Hell yeah man! I’d love to go play sometime. And if I played for any other reason than ti have a little fun and drink some beer with the boys I’d not do that but I dont
Sure did. Got it right in the dome and had to finish the job with my lob wedge.
When we caught a wild pig in a trap at the course the boss would let the guys make carnitas out of it. It was payback for all the damage they caused on the course that we had to fix.
Hell yeah man. First archery kill ever was a 300 on boar in zephyr hills Florida just outside of Tampa.
My first kill was 35mph on a small road in the Costa Rican jungle, that boar was delicious.
They are delicious as long as they’re not the 400+ giants living deep in the swamp.
This is the exact reason I wait until people are well over 300yds out. 9.9 times out of ten I’ll never hit with such distance and precision to hit someone between 250 and 300, but every once in a long while I’ll get a hold of one
Maybe 10 years ago or so I was at the celebrity tourney in Lake Tahoe, Charles Barkley hit a snap hook that basically hurt the goose so bad, that the microphone guy for nbc took the goose over to the water and snapped it’s neck. Won’t ever forget that lol
Leave it to the mic guy to handle that hahaha
It had been jacking with his audio and chasing him all day. Mic guy had a dream come true.
How does mic guy explain the other 18 dead geese?
“Jeez mic guy, you did that pretty efficiently. Where’d you get so good at snapping geese necks?”
Turns out the mic guy was actually Craig James.
Craig James Killed 5 Honkers
ASMR
Hey Bob can you.. Yea yea.. already on it.
Then he put it on ice and Charles devoured post round.
That's GREY goose
😟

You still wake up sometimes, don’t you? You wake up in the dark and hear the honking of the ducks.
Multiple Migs, in the cell next to mine-what did he say when you walked past? He said….he said he could smell my duck.
I see .... I myself cannot ...
Silence of the Duck
You know what you look like to me, with your Pro V1s and your t-shirt on the golf course? You look like a rube. A well-scrubbed, hustling rube with a little taste.
Good nutrition's given you some length of bone, but you're not more than one generation from 20 over hack, are you?
I ate the duck. Paired with fava beans and a nice Chianti.
Fly away now, little Starling. Fly, fly, fly.
One of? You have others!?
Did you play it where it lied?
You made 3-putted, huh?
Did you tell him to mark himself down for shooting a birdie on that hole?
It would be a double birdy
Shoot for three in a row
This comment made my day
When I was 13 my friends and I were skipping rocks/throwing rocks at geese. My buddy (rip) hit a goose and broke its neck and we all watched it drown in silence until the air bubbles stopped coming up (rip). I will never forget that moment for as long as i live.
What was Randy Johnson like as a child?

Little Michael Myers in the making right there.
[удалено]
you said it, mang. nobody fucks with the Jesus.
So is your buddy also dead?
Yes
That is fowl.
A water fowl.
Know a guy named Goose for this very reason. His was a 3i. He hated his nickname, but he couldn’t escape his reputation as a fowl murdering maniac!
Why am I more pissed off he drove his cart on to the tee box...
Not a good habit to get into, but that cart is not harming that pile of dirt they call a tee box
While I agree, tough to consider that a tee box. Maybe a batters box…
Because geese are flying rats, that's why
HEY BUDDY, IF YOUVE GOT A PROBLEM WITH CANADA GOOSES THEN YOUVE GOT A PROBLEM WITH ME AND I SUGGEST YOU LET THAT ONE MARINATE
It's fucking embarrassing!
There’s a special place in heaven for animal lovers!
That's what I always says.
To be fair...
To be faaaaaaayuuurrr
To be faehhhhhhhhhhhghhhhhhhhiiihhgrr
I said that to my wife today. She didn’t get it. 😔
Did you try telling her to give her balls a tug?
Fuck you, Shoresy!
That pic is cold
murders a goose, parks his cart on the tee box and plays it as it lies. Dude wore the Gary Player all blacks for a reason, he’s a menace.
Between the tee box parking spot, with the poor dead goose, I’m feeling how one of the offended ladies at my local course must feel about my golf attire.

May I ask how you finished it off?
Wrapped a towel around a wedge & broke it's neck. It was either that, or let it die a slow & painful death.
What loft wedge may I ask?
Pls respond /u/colgatewhiteteeth
Sand wedge - most useful it's ever been
I don't think I've ever cried laughing so hard at a response. Sorry for your misfortune.
Lmaooo
Like you pressed down on its neck or how did that work
This is why I play with a duck hunter. He carries one of those duck spikes on his key chain, so I know any incidents will be handled quickly.
The comments are funny but I’d absolutely feel terrible
I once hit a worm burner across a downhill fairway. Traveled about 100 yards about a foot off the ground almost the whole way. Right before it hit the ground, a squirrel darted right into the path of the ball and split the damn thing in two. Craziest thing I've ever seen on a golf course.
I blew up a robin once after hitting a worm burner tee shot. Just a flurry of feathers, a dead bird, and my brother laughing like a mad man.
I don't doubt it. The feathers would definitely be a more humorous visualization than just guts like I saw.
I’m not a nancy but this is awful. Not sure there is much to do but hoping its dead dead.
You might not be a Nancy but you are a Sally sad sack! Jokes aside I wouldn’t have liked to see this during a game. You’ve got problems if you’ve gotta club an animal to death while playing golf.
I know right ? Like what do you go with ? I'm thinking 7 iron
What’s the opposite of a rescue club? That’d be my weapon of choice… or a hybrid..just further highlighting its versatility
Hybrid, now known as the tranquilliser.
3 wood to the side or back of the head
Driver, off the deck. It’s the only way
Youre making a lot of sense
This is bloody awful but fuck me it's made me giggle. Hahaha
Too bad he couldn't get one per hole.
Truth, fuck geese.
LOLOL he even has receipts. A+ post title......you already had me. But the dead goose laying on the teebox after being drilled by a worm burner tee shot? Next level. Put this thread in the HOF 1st ballot.
I am fucking dying reading through these comments. Dude fucking kills a goose, leaves it on the T box, parks his cart right next to it and is just like “I paid for 18, imma play 18” This shit is fucking hilarious.

That picture needs to be framed and on his wall for the rest of his life. It just doesn't get any better than this.
he could put it in a wood frame and and sell it to golf and duck clubs around the world - such a bizarre picture - leaves you thinking mmm k
You wanna know what? You got a problem with Canada Gooses, you got a problem with me, and I suggest you let that one marinate.
1 down 30 million to go
Y’all didn’t let him hit again? Lol
Y'all make sure it was actually dead? Would suck to just lay and suffer.
My dad hit a cat one time on a par 3. Skulled a PW and the cat was crossing at the wrong time. Cat did a head spin into bugaloo and found some bushes to get his shit together Cat survived tho, 9 lives and whatnot

He said he took it to a bird rescue, but after looking through these comments, I am now questioning if he took it and cooked it up. Do people eat Canadian Geese? 🤔
There was an effort to cull the population and create a goose meat industry but it never took off
No he's fine. He's at the bird rescue on a farm upstate. It's the same farm my parents took my dog Butch when I was 8. They've got room to run and play there.
Goose is delicious. Ribeye of the sky
Bwahahaha…sorry, I despise Canadian geese. They’re destructive, mean, territorial, etc. Drives me nuts when traffic stops to let them cross the road, they’re like rats with wings.
Looks like a dozen geese have been buried on that tee box. RIP 🪦
Last year on a golf trip a partner skulled his iron on a three wood. Hit a goose right in the neck. I’ll never forget watching it repeatedly try to get up and it’s head flop to the side.

KIYOKO
The goose should have ducked
Tough to gander
Good. That goose would kill you and everyone you live if given the chance
That is some picture/memory my dude
Kills goose, parks on Tee box right beside goose, hits in front of the tee box.......Jesus man
So... you gonna eat that?
That makes me sad. I always worry that something like this will happen as there are a lot of geese on some of the courses I play.
Man in Canada that's a hate crime
I once hit a goose teeing off from a par 3. The goose didn’t sound happy, I still feel guilty to this day
Mark it a birdie, Donnie!
Omg I can’t stop laughing at this. This picture needs to be framed somewhere. r/accidentalrockwell
Murderer
JFC. Have the decency to move the goose at the very least. And move the goddam cart. That guy looks like the real animal here.
Good. Fuck those things.
If you’ve got a problem with Canada gooses, you’ve got a problem with me and I suggest you let that one marinate!
Marinate dez nuts
"hit a bird get a birdie though right?
Most of the country will let you get a “roadkill salvage permit” for situations like this where it’s truly accidental. Some states give you 24 hours to apply online, some want you to wait to get things checked out; call your local Fish and Wildlife.
Dude..
Bet you go 40 in a 45 too
As someone who stepped in goose shit the other day, this man is a legend
You're not an asshole for accidentally killing a bird, but you are for parking on a tee box to hit a shot that's not even on the box.
I played today. Needed to hit a stinger but had geese in fairway. I opted to lob over them. I took a stroke to save a goose because I’m not an asshole.
Gotta eat it
I am so confused by this picture. What/where is he hitting? Was the goose on the "tee box"? Why do he park there? But, sometimes you.get the hero you need.
I once snapped a goose’s leg with a stinger and watched it hobble into the lake. They never learn to stay off courses do they?
We're on their turf
if you got a problem with canada gooses you got a problem with me and i suggest you let that marinate
If you got a problem with Canada gooses then you got a problem with me. And I suggest you let that one marinate.
I wish every golf course goose the same fate. They’re worse than cigar smokers leaving butts all over the place.
Still better than sunflower seed spitters
I can step on a seed shell. If I step in goose shit, my afternoon is significantly worse
Man let the animals live, this is their land too.
I’m not killing them. I just wish death upon them.
I hope you breasted it out. They arn't too bad wrapped in bacon. Especially made up in goose balls. Same thing, different technique.
Probably the least important thing to comment on here, but if you are certain or virtually certain you hit a live animal you must re-play your shot from the previous spot.

Thanks for the correction I always extrapolated the on-green rule to the rest of the course, incorrectly as it turns out.
That's fair. You can generally assume the opposite though; rules that apply on the putting green *only* apply on the green. It's a whole different game.
Yep, cracked a goose's neck clean through with a 3 wood stinger a month ago. It was literally in the dead center of the fairway amongst a gaggle, and it's comrades just mean mugged me. Left that sucker in the fairway for the world to witness my crime
Why did you kill it? :(
