OK so my analogy was bad, I overreacted and take it back.

What I find funny is that he was filming a piece called "Shoot Like a Pro" yet he contends that he had "like a million to one chance" of actually hitting his target.( no wonder no one can compete with Tiger )

The fact is he took multiple shots at a protected bird in a tree from 75 yds, and was quoted as saying "I'll get him now"

"About the sixth ball came very close to the birds head and Isenhour got very excited", a few shots later he hit the bird.

Only after it died and got reported did he show remorse. The odds of him hitting it were a lot higher than you think. And yes the film crew should have stopped him too.

This happened in December, right?

Good thing it wasn't me and Big's trying to hit the hawk. Poor bird would have died falling from the tree after laughing so hard at us.

LOL, I'd be lucky to hit the tree, let alone a bird.

Yeh, I think it was early December, and just came out now. I read where one of the film crew was having nightmares, and finally had to report it.

Don't be so sure. There is one thing I can hit early and often.....that's a tree (or I should say trees). Now the bird? That's another story.

The safest place to be on a golf course is where I'm aiming. There is no chance of the ball going anywhere near there.

Unfortunately, he wouldn't be the only one laughing.

Kev,

is this the first time O'hair has made noise in a tour event since tanking horribly with the lead in the Players championship last year? Congrats to O'hair (or is it O'hare, O'haire?)...
