Callum Quinn, 29, and his friends Lewis Craytan, Jamie Taylor and Gary Bone were walking up to their tee in Kirkentilloch Golf Club when they spotted the bird.
When they approached it, they noticed that the bird's neck, beak and wings were completely tangled in a white net.
Video shows Callum holding the bird with a towel and Lewis cutting the net which was wrapped around the poor seagull.
Once the bird was free, the group fed it half of a Greggs steak bake and sent it on its merry way.
