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.

Gimme a break. I could care less about that douchebag's underwear size. I replied prior to reading your post about who he was.
Perhaps you should post his casket size.

Saw a write up about this in the Stars and Stripes today. Said there had been a huge outcry about it and that the Marines were taking it serious.

you seriously can't compare an insect to a puppy. most insects are pests, not domesticated animals. You don't have a puppy sneaking into your kitchen and stealing your food with hundreds of its friends. Nor do insects have the ability to reciprocate any type of affection like a cat/dog etc
and what does hunting for spot have to do with cruelly killing something? Hunting is probably more humane than that, although i don't agree with hunting for sport period anyways. Most of the time hunters aren't shooting babies, either
terrible parallel
