I must admit when I quickly read this thread I thought you had hit the dog with a club not the ball Craw. The speed a Collie can run, it could have been anywhere on the practice ground and then run to where your ball was coming down, just bad luck.

I wouldn't let my child run out on to a driving range.
People who allow their dogs to do these things shouldn't have dogs. Dog owners CAN be the most irresponsible people, not all of them obviously, but a lot of them.

The dog (or dug) should have been under control, the owner should know better! I'm pretty sure the Craw couldn't hit a dog on the head from 140 yards deliberately, that would be a cracking shot :thup:
I respond quite badly to aggressive confrontation, it tends to make me a little angry
it's probably the wisest course of action to leave.
I was playing a 3 ball at a muni in Bournemouth years ago, we were accused by a pikey 4 ball behind us of jumping in on the second, we hadn't, it was just slow & they hadn't seen us tee off. They were aggressive & I reacted angrily, they backed down but it did ruin the round and I did think afterwards it probably wasn't the wisest course of action, There is nothing that says Knob to me more than a public argument between 2 strangers!!

Naw pal, it's dug.
A dog is a wee furry thing thing you can put in a handbag.

Couldn't hit a dug on the head with an 8 iron from 140!
Glad you didn't have a go with the Adams you'd be lucky to keep it on the practice ground!

I've had many "snarls" on the course, but never got to the fisticuffs stage, but willing to on a few occasions, especially when playing the munis, but also on the private clubs.
As you get older you realise to handle it in different ways, although climbed in one divvy's face last year at our course, as said divvy (a member, I've since found out) hit a ball from 150 yards out to a par 5 we had only just walked off and was heading back to the tee which is next to the fairway just played. It missed 3 of us to the right at head height. I still give him down the banks, he threw his shoulders back, I took up the challenge, he soon backed down.
I'm not trying to sound hard, but we all make mistakes on courses, but people who don't apologise, or worse, play when they shouldn't be are asking for it.
Them balls are dangerous you know.

Didnt Billy Connolly describe Glasgow dogs as dogs that tell you that "they are away for a flipping walk", the Wee brown dog.

I'm assuming the 140 was down wind, and possibly down hill too.

A few years back we were playing a parkland course with usual adjoining fairways. Guy on the other one was already in club chucking mode and foaming at the mouth when he took another hack out of the trees just as HID spoke to me. The guy went ballistic blaming the distraction for his 3rd or 4th mishit. HID being HID laughed and that was it - red mist came down and he marched towards us wielding his club threatening to take his head off (expletives removed)! I swear he was foaming at the mouth and totally out of control but fortunately one of his mates got hold of him and calmed him down, or at least dragged him away. Their mates were in front of us and called us through so they could be a buffer for the idiot and us.
Hope the dog/dug was ok but not hit on purpose - shame it wasn't the owner who copped it!

Only knowing the Craw from here I have no doubt he had no intention of hitting the dug, dog, lassie, canine or whatever description you like. If the ball is in the air and the runs into the path cest la vie. I guess the only argument would be to have waited for the numpty owner to finally regain control but I know if it had happened at my practice ground I would have done the same and carried on hitting, not at the dog naturally
I haven't had a row since being hit about four or five year ago. On our 3rd I'd just played my second and was standing by my bag cleaning the iron. Muppet behind drove, heard it land about 10 yards short, one bounce and hit me straight in the small of the back. Went down like an Italian defender and really struggled. He sauntered up, eventually and said he thought I was out of range. I'm short and so no way could I have been clear. If I could have stood straight I'd have had a real pop. I basically told him to go away in anglo saxon fashion and said I'd be reporting him. When I got in, having had my round ruined but struggled out there to finish marking the card, he tried to apologise in grandiose fashion in front of everyone. They had all heard, other groups on the 4th tee, 4th green and 7th fairway had all seen it as well. I smiled politely refused his offer of lunch and reported him anyway.
