The weird encounter on the golf course

There have been cases where the game has seen many trespassers. A golf course is not just a venue for the human sport but even for several animals, reptiles, and birds. In a recent post that was uploaded by a Reddit user, he opened up to the community after asking a very specific but bizarre question, “Anyone ever hit an animal with a shot while playing?”. The question along with his own experience drove the internet crazy as people started to recount their confrontation with such animals.

The golfer went on to talk about how he encountered geese while playing golf, “They were absolutely everywhere. At least 200 geese throughout the course, all sh*****g on the fairways and greens”. He went ahead to mention how he set up the ball ‘figuring’ that the birds in front of him would not pose a problem as they weren’t in the way. But oh boy, was he wrong!

The golfing enthusiast hit one of his worst shots as the worm burner shot through and hit a goose right on its back. The bird went back to eating on the cheap course taking the hit like a champ. Although the golfer doesn’t have such high opinions of the birds on the ground, he went on to mention how he felt bad for it. Despite the fact that he hit a lousy shot, one can’t deny the love that the person has for the game as he was ready to play even in such unfavorable conditions with birds flying all around and on the ground.
