Tripp Isenhour

Here is an interesting story that I found on Yahoo. It was a case of a professional golfer named Tripp Isenhour being charged of killing a red-shouldered hawk with a golf ball. While Tripp Isenhour was filming “Shoot Like a Pro” at Grand Cypress Golf Club, he had become irritated with the squawking of the bird. He started shooting balls at it at a 300 yard distance. This though did not make the bird fly away. After awhile the bird came 75 yards closer, only making him more irritated. “I’ll get him now!” He said as he aimed for the hawk, after a few shots he realized that he had hit the bird and it fell to the ground it began to start bleeding from its nostrils. He said that he had not meant to hit the bird only to scare it off. Tripp as been charged with 14 months in jail, and with a find of $1500.

  1. Hehe… love your title for this post. =) It so sad that the bird died because of a stressed golf player. Well..the dude is a bad role model for those who look (or looked) up to him. He should of become more patient…I mean, it’s a bird; give it a break. Anyways…may the bird Rest In Peace. =(
