A New Golf Word

[Yoda]

Lynn you know how much i respect you, but you said......"for killing a bird".........

Please don't misquote me. I said "...for accidentally killing a bird."

And anyone who believes Tripp intentionally killed that bird -- with a golf ball from almost a football field away -- is looking to make a case where there is none.

Tripp Isenhour aimed at a bird a very long way away and had the great misfortune to hit it. A regrettable circumstance to be sure and one for which he is accountable. But . . .

It doesn't warrant destroying his career and life.

Well, that post blew out 'the pledge', didn't it, hjack?



Seriously, post all you want, my friend. That's why we're here. You have your opinion; I have mine.

You want blood.

I'll settle for justice.

And justice in this instance is a whole lot less than the extreme you advocate.

What ever happen to Dave Winfield when he purposely killed a seagul with a thrown ball- not much. Time cruelity has a price. Randy Johnson hit a flying seagul as he made a pitch to the plate- thats an accident. And a Youtube clip. Tripp's was an accident, too but he initiated to action- bed made, time to sleep in it. Life sucks for the stupid and those around him.
The sound crew should have been the only ones with concern.

Acting on Impulse often leads to irrational behavior and comments. Let's learn from this and not make the same mistake.

The perspectives, insights and arguments on this issue have been admirable. But, anyone who lets this issue become personal, may also act on impulse.

BEN HOGAN

Asking for a one-year suspension of an athletic career is not 'blood'? Plus a half year of 'community service'?

Please.

Regarding Ben Hogan, he probably would have tried to hit the hawk two more times before it hit the ground.



Sorry, hjack. You know I don't mean it. But I just couldn't resist!

Regarding Ben Hogan, he probably would have tried to hit the hawk two more times before it hit the ground.

I apologize for quoting out of context but I believe that this is a true statement and would be equally true if applied to one half of the population.

I think that for the other half, one shot would have been sufficient.
I apologize again. I'm commenting out of impulse.

Just for the record, I'm not defending the behavior, but I am looking the other way.

If Tripp were an amateur -- and not a 'pampered' athlete -- you never would have heard of this case.

For example:

Now that you have . . .

Fine him $500 -- make it $1,000 if Orange County needs the money -- and tell him not to do it again.

That should adequately serve the public interest.
