Last night, Jeff was hitting golf balls into the field next to our house. Our neighbor Amber brought over her clubs and a dozen or so range balls. While Jeff hit golf balls, Amber and I had a beer while we watch Oopsie and Frankie frolic and play in the yard. Oopsie is Amber’s 1 year old Jack Russell Terrier. We both were watching Jeff as he teed up, hauled back, and launched a bright orange ball into the field. We were all very surprised when we heard a loud cry – for lack of a better word – and watched a pheasant pop up into the air. He actually HIT the pheasant with the golf ball! We couldn’t believe it! We roared with laughter and stood in amazement. What are the odds???

After that he switched to chipping around the yard. Again, Amber and I carried on a conversation while the dogs played a few feet from us. We both just happened to turn to watch Jeff chip a ball…….squarely between Oopsie’s eyes! Again, we roared with laughter (after we knew Oopsie was ok). We all had tears running down our face. It was a total “America’s Funniest Home Videos” moment!

What's all this RAGE he has against innocent animals? LOL! j/k Poor Oopsie... then again, his name couldn't have been MORE fitting for the situation! It's something I'd say immediately after pelting him between the eyes while, calling out to him. Two birds with one stone. yes! I shall wear a mask next time I come over. Just in case it's practice time again.
