Seagulls on the Course: Nature’s Little Mischief Makers
We’ve all had those moments on the golf course that make us shake our heads and chuckle—especially when wildlife gets involved. But nothing can quite compare to the notorious antics of seagulls, particularly when they decide that golf balls are their next great treasure!
The Great Golf Ball Heist
I was out at my local course last weekend, enjoying what I thought would be a peaceful round of golf. The weather was perfect, the green was lush, and I was feeling confident about my game. That is until I reached the seventh hole—an otherwise straightforward par 3.
As I teed off, I hit what I thought was my best shot of the day—it soared high and straight towards the flag! But just as my ball hit the green, a seagull came swooping in like some kind of winged golf bandit. In a blink, it snatched my ball right off the putting surface!

I can’t be the only one with stories like this!
Birds of Prey: Has anyone ever had a hawk swoop down? I almost had a panic attack thinking it would take my driver!
The Squirrel Standoff: My buddy once had a squirrel steal his snack during a round. It was the most intense standoff I’ve ever witnessed—who knew squirrels could be so bold?
