Golfer kills pelican with power draw

There I was, researching pics for the speed golf feature  when this randomly turned up.

It's 1935 and Tom McHugh has launched a sweet power draw high inot the sky when, suddenly, theire is a loud sqwak and an explosion of feathers....

Here's Tom posing with said pelican at the Municipal Links at Lincoln Park, San Francisco, California.
