Watch this golfer get attacked by a really mean goose

It should be open season on geese. I hate those birds.

When you have geese all over the place, take care not to walk between them. One day, a flock of the friggin birds was crossing the fairway (yes I actually hit a ball into the fairway, thank you). There was a straggler and I figured I'd just walk right on through. The nearest goose charged up to me and hissed.

I thumped my 3W on the ground a couple of times and stared at it as I walked away. That bird will never know how close it came to a broken neck.

Mean damn birds!  May have been a nest down in the weeds.

From what I understand, the best way to rid a golf course of geese is to introduce swans into the environment.  Apparently they don't get along and the swans will run the geese out.

By the way.....a minor pet peeve.  The goose in the picture is NOT a Canadian goose.  It's a Canada goose.  He doesn't have a passport......

I actually hunt geese every fall.

Gives me a little bit of revenge for all of their crap (literally) I put up with all year....

Revenge on the geese... True story- a friend of mine was caddying at a country club on Long Island for a member whose nickname was "Moose" because he was a long hitter and about 6'4. He teed off on the first hole as a goose was flying into the fairway. Hit the thing in the neck and decapitated the bird, not quite clean off, but pretty gross and gruesomely.

. . .did he cook it?

Christmas is coming,

The Goose is getting Fat

Won't you please put a penny

In the Old Man's Hat

When my wife played high school golf, one of her teammates had to kill a goose because it attacked her. Apparently she had to break the goose's neck. Do not mess with geese in the spring. They can be really nasty if there are little geese around. My dog loved to chase geese, until he did in the spring once and they hissed and ran at him. Now he avoids them.

Geese are not "mean", they are protective of their young.

Tell that to the guy in the video.

Yeah, it was pretty funny, but I noticed that he was getting kind of close to the reeds. Good thing he could only have been only been beaked and flapped by the goose.

I used to rock climb, and put my hand in a Peregrine nest thinking I was getting to a nice safe belay point. Boy was I wrong. My climbing partner and I repelled down really quickly while the falcons were swooping all around us with their super sharp talons gleaming in the sunlight.

Man, they look way bigger in real life. Those little 3 pound birds were really terrifying.

Gonna have to tell the City of Troy that the geese really own the 15th at Miami Shores. I should just pay my greens fees to them.

Don't you mean "Goosie, goosie, goosie, goosie, DUCK!!!"

This video also reminded me of the day my friend John and I were golfing after Thanksgiving and there were only a few groups on the course. We came to a par three across a pond, and on the bank of the pond were geese that weren't moving. It looked pretty questionable until we saw a guy with a rifle (or shotgun) on a tree stand. The geese were decoys, and the owner's buddy was trying to get his Christmas dinner. Needless to say, we didn't stick around to find out.
