what a grease ball, the punishment should fit the crime, have Tiger Woods whale a few from 75 yards out at him televise it and see how that goes.

pay per view?
I think the ratings would be half decent.
Gimme a break. Maybe fine the guy, that's it. The article compared him to Michael Vick, which is absolutely asinine. He hit a bird in the head with a golf ball. Come on.
i agree... i mean if he shot it with a gun i could see pressing charges since it IS engangered, but hitting it with a golf ball??? freakin awsome shot! that is about as sporting as it gets... people like to talk about evolution and crap, but if a bird doesn't have the common sense to fly away after having numerous balls land in its vicinity, then good riddance i say!..

AMAZING post by michael richards. POD!
yea haha, good post.
Wiki says remember.......................
On August 4, 1983, Winfield, while warming up before the 5th inning of a game at Toronto's Exhibition Stadium, accidentally killed a seagull with a thrown ball. He doffed his cap in mock sorrow. Fans responded by hurling obscenities and improvised missiles. After the game, he was brought to the Ontario Provincial Police station on charges of cruelty to animals and was forced to post a $500 bond before being released. Quipped Yankees manager Billy Martin, "It's the first time he's hit the cutoff man." The charges were dropped the following day.[5] For years afterward Winfield's appearances in Toronto were greeted with loud choruses of boos, but he later became a fan favorite.
good post?! i'm just amazed that it took you morons 7 tries to come up with the most obvious, forehead-smacking joke known to man since i saw some chickens crossing a road.
75 yards is no easy target for even the best golfers in the world, completely bad luck for the bird, i mean common here, what golfer hasnt hit golf balls at an animal, and many have even aimed at humans, not expecting them to find their target. find a real problem animal rights pussies
birdie?
eagle...

I'm guessing that people don't like to talk about evolution in your neck of the woods. In any event, I doubt that murderous golfers have been around long enough for the evolutionary process to weed out hawks that don't fly away when golf balls are shot at them.
If I were king, I'd jail the guy. But I'd do the same to "sportsmen" who kill creatures without exercising the same amount of skill that the golfer did.
Strike that first sentence of my previous comment. I just get worked up about stories like this. If this golfer had killed a puppy in this manner, people would want to hang the guy on a nearby tree.

thank god you're just some douchebag on letsrun then.
what do you think people should do about the wild overpopulation of deer in the midwest, for instance? nearly 1/4 (or more) of the people i know who live in semi-rural areas, or drive through them frequently, have hit a deer...severely damaging their vehicles and sometimes injuring themselves.
oh, but we should just let bambi run free because it's cute!
man, you city boy dumbasses should really stick to sipping your lattes. (disclaimer: not all city boys are dumbasses...but people like this guy who would "jail" hunters are pathetic)
you are an asshole for sure... along with the golfer whose intentions were to hit the thing... i mean he celebrated when he got close and then finally nailed it... you say the bird did not have common sense - are you an idiot... maybe it had a nest there!!!
he was trying to hit it and what did he think the bird was NOT gonna be killed... what a moron... golf balls travel at over 100mph and can probably crack our skull and obviously smash or shatter a hawk's skull...
maybe not jail for him, but fine the bastard $500,000... he's a pro golfer, i am sure he can afford to give up a half million and if not than put him in a cage covered with rabbit blood and watch him get dive bombed and torn up by a bunch of hungry red shouldered hawks...
golf courses are good for ONE thing, running... otherwise there are too many of them and they destroy prime habitat for certain animals all over this stupid, country club obsessed nation... and really GOLF IS NOT A REAL SPORT... its just some leisure pass-time for rich people, so they can brag about how they beat the big boss at a saturday golf outing while smoking a cigar and being all drunk... what a bunch of douchebags...
and pro golfer that killed the hawk INTENTIONALLY = bigger douche bag...

Rules clarification- out of bounds a one stroke penalty and a free drop in line wit te tee and te point te angry mob pulled 'im off course.
Isenhour is an idiot. He wasn't liked by his peers when he was on the tour and had become just a joke once he was off it. He deserves whatever punishment he gets for the stupidity he displayed in this incident.
Perhaps some of the people in charge of the shoot should be questioned also, 15 people and not one of them speaks up that maybe this was a bad idea??? This schmoe isn't exactly a Top 10 world player, he should have been told to knock it off (the swinging of the gold club, not the hawk).
