Birdie before green


Last sat at NSRCC, my flightmate, Lee Heng was playing his second shot at Navy Hole No 4 when he topped the ball. The ball flew about one foot above the ground towards a flock of birds (mynah) in front. The ball ( Titlist prov 1X) strike one of the birds. the injured bird wobbled for a few seconds before falling on the ground. Amazingly, the rest of the flock gathered around just like we, humans would do. Lee Heng, did what he ought to do.... give the bird an proper burial service. He took a plastic bag ( I think it was from the packaging of his Titlist Pro V balls) form his bag and insert the dead bird into the bag. What he did to the bird? I was not aware but i think it threw into the thrash bin at the half way house.


Lesson learnt:
1. Always ensure the the fairway is clear before playing your shot.
2. Never top your ball
3. Always use Titlist ProV balls

Lee Heng - I tot you are going to bury the bird, instead you threw it into the dustbin?
