Just witnessed the saddest thing ever-A male Mallard duck was on lawn-and starring into the street, & not moving, while his mate lay dead in the middle of the street-tee times are not that important -slow down

So I'm assuming you witnessed the vehicle hit the duck, and knew it's driver was speeding to make a tee time?

And for that matter, knew the other duck was it's mate.
Still sad however

That is sad. I've witnessed canadian geese do the same. I wonder if they were a couple, newly met ? I wonder if maybe the other duck pushed it into traffic for a hidden reason? Maybe it was the duck's ex?

Maybe the duck committed suicide.

The birds usually get out of the way pretty quickly. It is the turtles, foxes, cats, bobcats, coyotes and especially the loose pets (dogs usually) that I really worry about hitting in the golf cart or the car.

I have heard of numerous pets (dogs) getting hit by golf carts. Some survive but some were hurt so bad that even when they heal they are very different dogs. Often a lot meaner.

There is a dog named Sammy who got run over by a golf cart and dragged. Scraped up pretty badly. But he is still a very sweet little pooch. Then another dog had her hip broken when she was hit by a golf cart and she does not like other dogs all that much any more nor even people a whole lot.

I know I'm terrible, but that was funny.

[Bonny]

Why would anyone make jokes about this ? There really isn't anything funny about it.

[Taltarzac725]

Gallows humor. Depends on the group. Sometimes it is the only thing that gets you through in bad situation. I have met may lawyers and law students who love lawyer jokes, for instance.

Can't resist putting in my two cents. Please please please Harness your dogs into your golf cart. Tell your friends with dogs because they just don't think about it and I know they would be devastated when the dog flies out of the cart. I have personally seen horrible accidents. The one last week right on my corner did not involve a golf cart but a car not paying attention going to fast and a dead dog. No details I don't have Permission and the owner is guilty and devastated though it wasn't his fault .
