VIDEO: Golfer kills seagull with terrible tee shot

FOLLOW: iHEART | TUNEIN


This golfer should have let some seagulls play through before he hit his tee shot in this video. Instead, the player decides to take a hack with his driver, topping his tee shot right into the bird and killing it on the spot. The bird never saw it coming.

Immediately after the fatal impact, the golfer turns away as though he had seen a train wreck and walks, back turned, toward the cameraman as the shooter assesses the bad news.

"You just killed a bird," says the cameraman, stating the obvious.

This YouTube video was uploaded on July 20, so you'll have to forgive the golf world for missing it since that was the final day of the Open Championship at St. Andrews.

Things like this happen in golf.
