Golf has had a big news year, and Saturday Night Live has noticed.

The revered comedy show did a golf sketch on Saturday night, but rather than delve into any of pro golf’s real-life off-course dramas, the writers came up with a clever new way to address some of the follies that golfers could face these days: accidentally killing animals.

Comedian Nate Bargatze, who hosted the episode, stars in the sketch as fictitious golfer Brady Knoll, who is competing in the “Oakmont Classic” and despite honest attempts to try his best, continues to maim and kill a series of animals, including a bird, turtle and nest of bald eagles.

“Obviously I did not do that on purpose,” Bargatze’s Knoll says after one fatal wayward shot. “I don’t think I could do that on purpose.”

As the sketch plays out, the gallery turns on Knoll and a Nike representative appears out of nowhere to cover the company’s swoosh logo on Knoll’s hat and polo.

It’s not easy to do comedy and golf—if it was, there’d probably a be a decent comedy since Caddyshack—but this sketch cracked us up, and so we share it here for your amusement. And please be kind to the animals out there.
