The Ball Drop

No,not the New Year's Eve ball. I read about aerial golf that was supposedly  played in the 1920s by dropping golf balls from a plane to the players below,maybe it was a one time thing and was never tried again due to injuries? I did find other odd golf ball stories. Helicopter golf for charity...they sell golf balls with numbers on them then drop them from a helicopter,the first two to go into the cup win a few grand.  The other story was a woman in England who had her house regularly pelted with plastic golf balls by seagulls. Experts figured the gulls thought the balls were mussels and were trying to break them open to get to the meat,if that theory was correct why use one house and why keep at it if it wasn't getting the desired result? Are gulls really that slow mentally...maybe.
No more! Over 50 of the plastic practice golf balls have fallen onto her roof during the summer
Confused: A seagull near Ms Bellhouse's home. A flock have them are proving quite a nuisance to the woman
