You'd like to have a birdie and love to have an albatross, but a seagull on the golf course is taking the biscuit.

A decent drive saw my yellow ball sitting nicely in the middle of the fairway only for a seagull to swoop and pick it up. A few minutes of circling above and it looked like it was taking it home to nest, but no no, it's fun wasn't over.

A quick pirouette and like a typhoon bomber it was right above me dropping the ball towards my head, diving towards me and catching it again in mid air, while I started to move off quick smart. Fun over the ball was dropped back to earth to allow the game to continue.

I'll try and stick to birdies and albatrosses next time out!!!
