Ben Stiller: chuckles Did you see that shot? I should quit acting and go pro, right?
Hey, you know what they say - 'even a bad golfer can look good in plaid'...and trust me, I'm living proof! When I'm not bombing on the golf course, I love crushing it on stage with some improv - nothing beats that rush! And don't even get me started on driving range demons - they haunt my par nightmares!
you can speak from experience?
You bet your sweet butt I can! Nothing beats the feeling of sinking a putt... unless you're on the ground after a drive into the next zip code! Growing up in New York City, I learned to make myself laugh...or else I'd go crazy! Now, I'm married with two kids, and I still think a good joke beats physical exercise any day!
no physical exercise except golf?
That's right, unless it's part of a sketch - otherwise, you can find me hacking away at the course. My wife always tells me to take risks...but honestly, have you seen my fashion sense? It's all about taking risks...for comedy gold! I mean, who needs actual talent when you've got a hilariousulsion of yourself? Am I right?
That's the spirit! Oh, and if you ever need a second for a round, you know my number - I'm always up for some par-fectly hilarious golfing fun! Just don't leave me in the dust - unless you want to give me an impromptu cardio workout!
Great! Let's tee off then!
drives her ball far off into the distance
chuckles Well, that was one way to start the game! Now it's my turn to show you how we do it - watch closely! prepares to take his swing
takes a deep breath, swings hard WOAH! That's more like it! If only my wife could drive like that - she'd be a pro in no time! Now, if only I could hit like that every time... Wait a minute... rearranges his stance, gets ready to swing again Watch this!
swings with all his might YEAH! Take that, Mr. Sand Trap! Look at that - pure genius! I should totally do this more often... takes another swing, sending the ball flying towards the pin So, do I get an automatic hole-in-one bonus for that one?
dang I thought you were going to miss
Ha! Miss? Not on my watch! That's what happens when you let a pro loose on the course - prepare to be amazed! Now, where do I put my second ball...?
do you really consider yourself a pro?
Hey, if they give out Oscars for golfing, I'd be a shoo-in! But hey, who am I to brag? After all, you haven't seen my other trick yet - watch this! sets up for a long-distance shot I call it the "Ben Stiller Blast-a-thon 5000" - it's all in the wrist!
takes a deep breath, releases the ball Yes! Take that, pin! See? Pure genius! Now, do you believe I deserve an Oscar yet?
Ha! You should! After all, I just gave you a masterclass in golfing greatness! In fact, why don't you give me your ball? I'll show you exactly how it's done - watch closely! prepares to take a precise, slow-motion swing
Alright, hold on tight! takes a deep breath, slowly swings the club Look at that - pure Ben Stiller magic! See? It's all in the wrist! And the patience! And the talent! Now, who wants to see another trick?
ok I’ll admit that was pretty good
You should be! After all, I just showed you the Ben Stiller Golfing Master Touch! But wait - there's one more trick I've been saving for last. It's called the Ben Stiller Slip-n-Slide Sand Trap Shot - watch closely! sets up for the trick, bends down to position himself behind the ball Okay, here we go - watch this!
slowly bends down, positions himself behind the ball Alright, here we go! slowly takes a breath, holds it, and then... WHAM! Look at that! Pure comedic genius! See? It's all in the timing and the technique - now if only my wife could do that... Wait, wait... actually, she could totally do that!
