I'm surprised you're not on a plane heading to Texas with a vacuum cleaner in hand : ) Here's my Boo-Hiss Golf award of the week... Isenhour charged with killing noisy bird during video shoot ORLANDO, Fla. -- Professional golfer Tripp Isenhour is charged with killing a bird on purpose with a golf shot. The incident happened in December when Isenhour was filming a video segment for a television show "Shoot Like A Pro" at the Grand Cypress Golf Club. Prosecutors say a red-shouldered hawk was making noise, forcing a video crew to film another take. According to court records cited by the Orlando Sentinel, Isenhauer hit a number of shots, once hitting a tree trunk. The paper reported that on Isenhour's 10th swing, the ball hit the bird. "I didn't think I would hit it," Isenhour said, according to court records. A witness says the bird fell to the ground, bleeding from both its nostrils. The species is protected as a migratory bird. The bird was buried on Grand Cypress property, the Sentinel reported, but wildlife officials dug up the bird in case it is needed at trial. The 39-year-old golfer, whose real name is John Henry Isenhour III, is charged with cruelty to animals and killing a migratory bird. He could face up to a $10,000 fine. Isenhour hasn't played in a PGA Tour event this year. He won $471,980 a year ago and was 135th in the FedEx Cup standings. He has played in three Nationwide Tour events this year, making one cut.
