There is a video at the link. I didn't post it, because some people might not want to see it.

The hunt is on for a sick golfer who got his friends to video him decapitating a goose on the tee of a top class golf club in Finland.
The cruel golfer is seen on video lining up his golf club with the back of the bird’s neck before taking a full swing and slicing its head off.
The video was uploaded on LiveLeak today under the title ‘Finnish Golfer Kills Barnacle Goose’ and within hours the Vantaa Golf Park, Helsinki, launched an investigation. Police were also informed of the incident. Ville Nurmi, Vantaa Golf Park managing director, told The Sun he had made criminal report and: ‘We condemn the case completely
The goose-killer is not a member of the golf club but could be prosecuted if found. The video is being shared around social media in the hope of identifying the culprit. The Finnish Golf Association executive director Juha Korhonen condemned the golfer in the video. He said: ‘It is impossible to understand. Such behaviour is in complete contravention of all the values and principles on which the golf game is built.
‘We hope that the police will find out the identity of the person and that he will be punished according to his actions.’ This is not the first instance of birds and animals being killed on golf courses.
In Hawaii last year 74-year-old Uwe Dettmar tried to hit a goose with his golf club before running it over with his golf cart, killing the rare bird. Dettmar said he was protecting his wife, who was afraid of geese. He was fined $11,000 (£8,200) and given a 30 day suspended sentence.

the bird would have flopped around considerably more than what the still photo shows.
Also no goose, or any other wild or semi-wild animal or bird would just sit there with something coming directly for them.
the club would have been heard by the bird.
I think this is a hoax.
Golf courses, parks, greens, sidewalks, parking lots, ponds, lakes the world over are covered in stinky, slimy, gooey, gelatinous goose crap. Finally, man strikes back.
The guy’s expression seems to be “Whoops! I didn’t know TNAT would happen. FORE!”
Awful, but you can decapitate a baby in the mother’s womb and get away with it if she consents.
I’m glad you did not post it.
Tchikovsky’s Swan Lake is one of my favorite ballet symphonies to both see and hear performed.
Hunting for food is one thing. Killing for amusement is quite another.
Sand wedge or nine?
I think this guy was underpunished.
I believe it was billed as a fore but, the scheme was a bit of quackery ...
This is an OUTRAGE...he wasn’t even charged with a stroke!
I saw this episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm.
I used to play on a course that had a large goose population. They are mean, aggressive and their crap was all over the greens.
Never was tempted to off one, though - with my swing I probably would only have made it madder.
State, and I believe federal laws, forbid shooting the pests out of season, so swans are recruited to chase them off. There is a company in the 'burbs that rents swans to keep Canadian geese away from the water follys, (Those ponds and rock falls.), that are popular in the rental/condo developments. A few years ago, a swan drowned a bird tender by forcing him under in the pond and flogging him until he stopped moving.
He should have done it dressed as the Tim Conway character “Dorfman”.
Why would one golf in Finland? So many cool things to do and you play golf?
He got a birdie
Couldn’t take a mulligan so, he took a mallard
A goose put a buddy in mine in the ER and than 4 hand surgeries because my buddy did not immediately recognize that the granola bar he was eating was desired by the goose.
Bogeyman. ..
I have a friend that raised geese. I have a hard time believing one would let him get anywhere near it without attacking the golfer.
