Golfer's Ball Used as Murder Weapon

A pro golfer by the name of John Henry Isenhour III could be charged for killing a hawk with a golf ball. Not that he was holding on to the golf ball and hit the hawk with the golf ball. He actually hit the golf ball with his golf club and it struck the hawk bulls-eye.

John was upset with the hawk for making noise during one of his golf instruction video shoot and when it landed 300 yards away on the golf course, he aimed a few shots at it. The hawk flew away but landed on the golf course again, 75 yards away this time. John took aim at this hawk with few more shots.

One in a million as quoted when his golf ball hit the hawk and it got murdered right on the spot.

That action caught the attention of the Humane Society of the United States that submitted a complain to the PGA Tour commissioner and he lost his practice privileges at Grand Cypress Golf Resort, the place he murdered the hawk. He had apologised since then. What a day!

It was silly of him to kill the bird like that. Should've just scared it away by making some noise.
