Tiger hits it 220 yards!!!

GOLFNICK………………… What club was that? 7 iron for 210 yards. No way! the conversation is as follows is a typical one after a game of golf;

Olaf: You know Tiger hit a 7 iron 210 yards. He is so fantastic! I can only hit mine 195 yards.

P. Lawrie: YEAH! YEAH! YEAH! Right (Refrains very hard from laughing out loud but does show a big smirk) I know because on the second hole 145 metre par 3, you hit the exact same club.

Olaf: Yeah but it was uphill!

B. Snow: But you were short!

Here are actually some of the things we would like to hear from the commentators;
