hahaha....

anyone that know about golf know what the rules say about this? I would imagine that it is still "in play" if the ball keeps moving by a source other than the actual players involved...

^ automatic birdie

Got to play where it lands...

Jesus I hate seagulls.

edit: found the answer.
USGA Rule 18-1
If a ball at rest is moved by an outside agency, there is no penalty and the ball must be replaced.
Here's a more thorough explanation in video form

I'm fairly certain that it counts as a stroke and you have to play it from a drop.

There's been a couple plays along the same lines as this where it somehow gets knocked into the hole by a squirrel or some other critter, and they count it as a birdie or hole in one.

The gull is just trying to make the course a little bit safer.

I take it you've never lived anywhere near seagulls Ant?

I used to throw rocks at the friggin seagulls near my home when I was a kid.

Now I know why I did.

Because you're a sadistic a-hole who hates our lesser evolved neighbors?
