Well, for starters, he introduced himself.  

“Hi, I’m Tiger.”  I thought that was classy, as if myself and everyone else on planet earth doesn’t know exactly who he is.  

He was also genuinely funny.  Hardly seems fair, right?  Not only is he the best golfer in the world, but he’ll probably end up with his own sitcom too.  The clip they ended up using for the commercial was a snippet of our firing barbs back and forth, all improvised.

SO - WHAT’S IT LIKE

TO WORK WITH

TIGER WOODS?

Probably the best part of the day was between the second and third shots.  Tiger was practicing his putting and he gave me a 15 minute lesson.  His big tip?  Stick to acting.  Seriously. 

He did offer a small pointer that has since made me a knockout killer on the mini golf course.  If you want to know what that tip is, just give him a call.  His number is

1-202-857-0166.

He showed me this trick, which I was able to do after a few tries.  Of course, the photographer didn’t catch me in action, but I did it.  Promise.

The shaking you see in the ad is all me, all natural.  But they tried LOTS of different ways to make me spasm, including attaching a drill to the bottom of my putter.  Talk about the yips, man. 

Notice my pal Tiger laughing away in the back.  “Ha, ha, really funny.  Mr. Yellow Shirt is all shakey.  I think I’ll go win the Masters.”

First shot of the day,

we’re talking about Star Wars.

I asked if there was some special way to hold the putter which would make me look like a champion.

Clearly, I did not crack that code.
