I'm not kidding this really happened today at Turtle Mound. The first birdie came when I overdid it getting out of a sand trap and hit a sandhill crane. The second was on the final tee, where I overdid a chip shot and hit what was described by the girls as a small black and white bird.
Thankfully, both birds were OK...
ps I really like golf, but until I have better control, I'll be worried about hitting people, as well as birds --
