Who sponsors his TV show? I’d be happy to write to them and respectfully suggest that they withdraw their support for this animal hater.

This moron should be sent to jail and fined, just like Michael Vick was. I am disgusted by this Isenhour’s actions. He should be pulled from his TV show, banned from golf courses, and banned from playing in any professional golf tour.

The first thing a true golfer learns is that you golf WITH nature, not against it. Mr. Isenhour is not only an animal killer but he is a disgusting liar. He CLEARLY intended to hit and kill the bird. He needs to be prosecuted to The FULLEST extent of the law. Jail for 14 months is minimally fitting.

Further I agree that the PGA needs to ban him from golf tournaments for life. I’ll be the first to organize a boycott of any PGA event that he is allowed to participate in. I would suggest he move out of the country after he serves his prison sentence if any other country will even take him. No one wants him around here.

Has the Internet Lynch Mob: found out where he lives, who he is married to, where his kids go to school, found his personal blogs and posted vicious attacks, emailed this story to every tom, dick & harry, & demanded an investigation at the top levels of the PGA?

We already know golfers routinely antagonize peaceful families of geese on the courses.

I am afraid the PGA is announcing a surge that it hopes will reduce the human-on-hawk attacks and bring order to the greens.

This is what the game of golf does to the young men that enlist in it’s ranks; it turns them into animals. Why can’t america see what we are doing to the hundreds of thousands of young people enlisting in golf solely. They do this soley because there are no other job alternatives and they have little choice having barely graduated from high school and look at the animals golf turns them into.

We need to cut all funding for golf and bring our golfers home NOW!

The PGA MUST remove Isenhower from the Nationwide tour and BAN him form golf. He is sick and this action would indicate he would do the same to a noise child in the area.

Let him do the 14 months and undergo psychiatric evaluation before letting him back into hte general public again and become our next headline killer.
