I teed off and sure enough I hit it. My golf ball bounced off the turtles back and onto the middle of the green. I couldn't believe it. The turtle continued to make its way to the water seemingly unharmed. I felt so bad afterwards.
animal karma restored....late today after I had hit the 2 birds, I saw a young turtle crossing Pinellas Pl near the Gilchrist po boxes. There should be a turtle crossing sign there, but anyway, I lifted the critter to safety on the greener side of the street while another couple intent on rescue had spun their car around to come back for the little thing. I do like living here.
