On a whole, the 2008 ESPY’s were pretty damn funny this year, from Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly’s mock audition tapes to Darren Howard’s dance moves.
I thought ESPN had a rather odd choice for host, going with musician Justin Timberlake, until he got on stage, that is. Dude is pretty funny – especially his sports “research” montage where he gets up close and personal with Terrell Owens, Ozzie Guillen and Oklahoma State head coach Mike Gundy.
“Who cares man, this guy never plays anyway!” Freaking funny.
Here is Ferrell and Rielly’s pre-show demands for ESPN to host the 2008 ESPYS:
Golf game in need of improvement? Oh don’t lie, yes it does. Men’s Fitness.com recently asked LPGA pro Natalie Gulbis to share some pointers for when you’re out on the links.
DRIVING
“The proper driver position is right off your left foot,” says Gulbis. “That’ll help you hit it a little more solidly.” Don’t grip too hard, and keep your lower body still while your upper body rotates through the ball. To hit your shot from right to left, move the ball back in your stance, closer to your right foot, and swing inside out. To hit it left to right, move it up in your stance, and swing from the outside in.
BUNKER PLAY
Playing a bunker the right way can shave strokes off your score. Have the ball in the middle of your slightly open stance with a slightly open club head. Don’t be fancy, just get the ball out of the bunker. “The key is to make sure you take your shot two inches behind the ball,” says Gulbis. “The sand will help carry the ball out and spin it a little better.”
PUTTING
You can putt a million different ways, but the key is to repeat your stroke. “If you cut across it, if you hit it hard, if you hit it soft, whatever it is, just be able to work from there,” says Gulbis. Get used to hitting the ball the same way every time. “Draw a line on your golf ball and line it up with your target,” she says. “Then, you can just roll it along that line.”
MENTAL GAME
Golf can be one of the most frustrating hobbies in the world, if you let it get to you. “You’ve got to get in a positive frame of mind, or else you’re going straight downhill.”
And if these pointers don’t help – drink more.
Fuzzy Zoeller is past his prime, but he can still get the ball near the green. As this clip shows, that’s all you need.
