Saw your name: packerbacker and the thread title Stuck in Lodi I thought you were in Lodi, WI until I saw the picture! HA! Yeah right!

5 degrees in Lodi Ohio this morning. Didn't know there were so many Lodis.

 

[packerbacker]

I think the high temp for the day we golfed, 2/24, was 74. I did shoot a birdy on one hole; really, and I feel terrible about it. I hit a mud hen (type of duck) with a fairway shot and killed it instantly.

and now rain....

Very sunny this morning here at home on the front range. Knocking out a goofy mud hen with fairway shot .... Now that's a good, after 4 cold tall ones story. ...Do you have any witnesses to this act?.

 

[packerbacker]

Yes I do, it was witnessed by 3 other golfers. There are way too many birds on this course. The mud hen was in a flock of about 25!

 

[tamrock]

That's a good one. Be hell if no one else was around to see that. Who knows how often that happens these days with all the birds that hang around a golf course. I know I've herd of geese hit in flight before. Sad for the bird, but maybe it was his time, either by a hawk or some high speed vehicle? That's sure a unique golf story for you and you buddies reflect on. I would have put him in my pocket and had him mounted. Now wouldn't that be a neat family heirloom for you to pass down. Your descendants would be telling folks. "This here's the coot that great grandpa packerbacker hit in midair with a golf ball back in 2014".

Weather's fine here. Lower seventies, nice breeze, fluffy white clouds. Probably be down to upper sixties tonight, though.

I got it, I'm so sorry you had that incident with the poor bird, but still a unique story. maybe some one could invent a whistling golf ball to give those birds a heads-up? Kinda like the deer whistles they put on the bumpers of vehicles. I don't know if those work, but all of my wife's family in Pennsylvania retrofit there vehicles with those things. They at lest tell me they work. In the mine operations they have a few unique ways to keep birds away from the cyanide ponds. At the trade shows I've seen air cannons to remote control hawks you use to chase the birds away with.
