Protect Our Fish From Off Target Golfers

Golf course superintendants who are in charge of golf courses with ponds and creeks on them, be warned.
There's a very strong lobby group, Protect Our Fish From Off Target Golfers, who are gathering a huge force behind them to have your course closed.

Armed with photos, such as the shots below, they are organising petitions worldwide to insist that either the golf courses errect protection over the waterways or they shut down. 

As protection would not only be too expensive but would also be aesthetically unacceptable, the POFFOTGers know that closure is the only option, if they get their way.

According to POFFOTG, the fish in the pictures have been hit, time and time again, with golf balls.

(Those who believe in reincarnation think the fish were soccer players in previous lives, specifically those who would 'take a dive'.)

Unfortunately, the POFFOGT has teamed up with an equally strong group, Protect Our Fish From Club Hurling Impatient Golfers - POFFCHIG. They have collected data to show that out of every 20 balls that are hit into the water, 4.5 of the offending clubs end up in there too.

The bumps certainly look like injuries but there's another group, Protect Our Courses From Idiots - POCFI, who insist that these fish haven't been hit by golf balls or clubs. Their studies show that these fish are just myopic and bump into rocks or submerged branches or even the pond/creek edges.

Another group, POGCFWICL - Provide Our Golf Course Fish With Ideal Contact Lenses, (made up of Beauty Pageant competitors who saw this as a way to help achieve world peace) hopes to help solve the problem.

The fact that golf courses provide the best photo shoots for beauty queens is purely coincidental.
