Shark falls out of sky on unsuspecting disc golfers in South Carolina

It rained sharks in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, last month after a small hammerhead shark fell from the sky and interrupted a local disc golf game.

The unexpected disc golf hazard was actually a bird’s lost lunch.

Teeing off on 11 at Splinter [Disc City Golf Course] and saw an osprey carrying something over us,” Marlowe wrote. “Two crows chased it into a tree where it dropped its prey.”

In the photos, the shark appeared to be a little more than a foot long.

While hammer throws may have been in the forecast for the golf outing, a hammerhead certainly wasn’t.

Ridiculous title for the story. Nothing fell out of the sky.

“Bonnethead shark.”

Bonnethead? That would make it the libtard/democrat of the shark family.

I almost got hit by a bass in my back yard. A bald eagle dropped it. I walked away and the eagle came back and got it.

I was snorkeling the reef several miles off Key West and turned around to be face to face with a 5 ft shark.

No brown streak in the water but I couldn’t get out of the water fast enough. Scared me more than I care to admit.

This one time I was smoking weed and disc golfing and a shark fell on my head, man. Really, man.

Speaking of bar stories:

Biden sauntered into a bar, approached a pretty young woman, and said with all his charm, “Do I come here often”?

Ha! The perfect username for this thread. BTW- I live very close to this disk golf course. I hadn’t considered this hazard...?

The hits just keep coming!

“The pilot fish is carnivorous and follows sharks and ships apparently to feed on parasites and leftover scraps of food.”

Now, I have to believe Greta is right - we have climate change - it never happened when Biden was president! 😀

Trump's fault. We needed to elect Harris/Walz so sharks can eat people in the ocean, not on a disc golf course. 😀

It’s Flag Day so I will run this up the flagpole:

O-sprey can you see,

Os prey didn’t rule his roost with a fist of iron so now it’s Os without prey.

Get Smart had a Captain Hook kind of bad guy named the Craw. No fish dinner for him either.

If Waffle House served grinders, we might hear,
“Gimme a Footlong Flying Fish, Hold the Tartar, Surf and Turf it.”
