Wormburner drive kills seagull [video]

I witnessed something very similar a couple years ago. I was playing Desert Willow and the tenth tee is right near a pond and there were a lot of mud hens... one of the lady's in our group hit a worm burner that hit one square in the head. She felt really bad and didn't play very well for the rest of the round.

My wife hit a small bird.   The ball hit it on a 2nd bounce - not so hard.   But in human term, it was probably like getting hit by a bowling ball.  It killed it.   My wife couldn't focus on the round after that.  She ended the round with a poor score.

BTW, I loved the guy's reaction after he hits the bird.   Tragic but funny (not for the bird!).

Not quite as amazing as Randy Johnson's fastball with the pigeon, but still pretty crazy.

Too bad for the bird. I, and others have hit birds on the driving range after over seeding has taken place. Mostly pigeons.  Not just worm burners, but good shots, hitting a bird in mid air. Unfortunate, but it happens.

Does it make me a terrible person to laugh?

That will teach the gulls to play faster or at least let golfers behind them play through.

That was a deer's look after my wife hit it squarely on his side.  It made a loud thud noise.   He just got up and walked away as if nothing happened.    Did I mention she hit me once, too?   I suspect that was fully intended .    My look wasn't one of "is that all you got?"   It was more like, what did I do this time?
