I guess I'd find this a lot funnier if he was putting the same kind of energy into playing faster.

I'd find it funnier if it were funny.

No wonder he plays so low. He's all tired out from playing with his toys.

You guys gotta get a sense of humor...that is pretty damn funny!

I'm with Del. The last guy I would have guessed could channel an inner Jerry Lewis. It was well put together.
But Ben, seriously, on the course, let's get crackin'!

Near-perfect spoof. Great look, great editing.

Been thinking about it all evening and finally figured out who that reminds of -- Super Dave Osborne!!

"I'm speaking to you as we speak" classic.

The opening with the putt........lol

Del, Super Dave is Albert Brook's brother.

how many times do you think it took him to make that put happen. that was awesome. Ben Crane = funny, still very deliberate but also very funny.

That was better than I expected....wish he would move that fast on the course though.
10.17.2010 | Unregistered Commenterjohnnnycz
Not even Tom Arnold could move *that* fast on the course.
