Performance
Video #35580 · Speaker address
[01]
The creator, disguised in a hat, sunglasses, and bandana, delivers a comedic monologue directly to the camera. He adamantly refuses to play golf from 'the tips' (the furthest tees), justifying his decision by humorously admitting his own lack of skill, specifically his 240-yard slice. He concludes with a profane and definitive statement about how he responds to anyone who asks him to play from the back tees.

Don't ask me to play from the tips
I'm not playing the tips. I'm playing the white tees. Have you seen me drive the vault? Two forty with that slice? You think I should be playing the back tees? I need to play from as far up as I can. So if somebody asks me to play the tips, I tell them they can go fuck themselves.
