Hitting a Birdie
Met a girl in a college class and noticed she was looking at golf clubs on Ebay. Being a golfer myself I figured it was a perfect conversation starter and went with it.
After an exchange of numbers and some conversation we had a golf date at a local country club for the next afternoon.
So the first few holes went well but then the 7th hole happens. I’m about 230yds from the green so I pull out my 3W. I see the pair of sandhill cranes they were about 150 yards down the fairway so I paid them no attention.
I take my swing and to my surprise the ball was a low line drive that got no more than a few feet of the ground.
And to my surprise one of the birds was in the way of the ball. It was a direct hit to the neck and the bird went down for good.
Sandhill cranes mate for life so when one of them dies the other will sit there for hours crying for the other one.
It was sad, but little did I know she LOVED these birds and the look on her face was horrific. She broke down in tears. We played the last 2 holes with maybe exchanging 10 words. Didn’t hear from her again.
