counter use it for whatever you like now

[Music]

here and there upon this great land sky

and sea and I and hand have labored

arm-in-arm to create the most unique

artifact of our civilization the golf

course

these verdant sweeps of hallowed turf

stand in mute but eloquent testimony to

the ancient lure of the rich and

mystical game of golf

[Music]

and on these stored courses awestruck

multitudes have witnessed the

unforgettable feats of golf's greatest

legends

these astonishing players while Paragons

and the syrup smooth swing inspire and

us mere mortals a impossible dream of

actual improvement but on other courses

far from the Celtic seas where golf was

born a more ordinary game is play it too

is golf that we the definite difference

golf untouched by genius golf played

with dogged determination rather than

natural grace it might well be asked are

these not the true heroes of the game of

golf to arise each Saturday morning

their eyes bright with the vision of

saved pars and lucky birdies there they

stand there we stand the rest of us the

bad golfers tirelessly trying to achieve

a study and practice but a few fortunate

souls obtain as a birthright ok

left arm straight but not too rigid

elbow tucked in close and I've locked

grip firm but not too firm knees flexed

but not too flexed head down chin up

back slowly

I will never learn to play golf like a

pro why can't I find someone to teach me

to play golf my way

[Music]

I don't know what it is I have taken

dozens of lessons I've spent hours on

the driving range practicing hours of

practicing Billy most people practice to

play good golf but no matter how much we

practice we still end up playing back oh

so all the effort we make to play good

golf should be spent on the game when we

play the most that's it charlie

very good somebody I helped out

yesterday our attention should be turned

to bad golf and ways to make it easier

to play bad golf now Billy we don't play

golf to feel bad we play bad golf but we

feel good you wait right here I'm going

to get my gear and I'll be back in a

second really there are over 50 million

people in the world who play golf there

are 80,000 professional instructors

teaching them to play better golf there

are 12,000 books with individual

teaching methods and 400 videotapes with

a host of how-to ideas 50 million people

and 49 million nine hundred and ninety

thousand of them still play bad golf

rejoice Billy you're in good company

what is our credo Billy I don't play

golf to feel bad I played bad at golf

but real good quality hands but now

which ones are yours quick quick please

hop we're on the right track you the mad

Leslie I got you babe hey Billy all

golfers have one thing in common

they grip the club at the thin end and

not at that other end where that curvy

thing is the club head right right and

that grip is absolutely essential to

golf

why because it gives you a place to put

your hands when you swing what's the

first fundamental in golf Billy the

Varden grip close public posts you got a

20

yeah not the Varden grip warden tip

[Music]

multiple way for a two time five hours

the Varden tip a firm handshake not a

bone crusher but good palm to Palm

contact as soon as you feel the bill

being taken release and pull your hand

straight back next up

Nelson twosome

always remember the only really useful

tip in golf is the one you give to the

starter

take off be a fan my bad got to feel

good family to get a round of golf off

to a good start very important to do the

proper warming up exercises one two

three four five six three four five six

naturally before I came to the course I

did all my pregame preparations I drank

a hearty breakfast made passionate love

[Music]

I've walked a mile in another man's

shoes so when I get on the tee I just

concentrate on a few loosening up

exercises

[Applause]

okay Billy let me go

[Music]

[Music]

a total whiff I completely missed the

ball and two strokes down and I'm not

even off the tape really really keep

your cool there's no such thing as the

total whiff one of the key movements in

golf is the practice swing nothing like

a good full practice swing to are in the

kingside is there now on this my real

actual true final and intentional swing

I will make the same full body turn this

time I will take the club back a little

bit slower

Billy if the ball moves when you swing

then it cost you a stroke before the

earth moves then according to all of the

laws of physics the earth which is also

a ball albeit a very large one

then the earth is charged at one stroke

down

[Music]

there is no mobile in golf that cannot

be made more difficult through diligent

study and practice

[Music]

what a terrible lie it's sitting down so

deep I'll have to hack it out with an

iron keep your cool Billy keep you cool

most golfers rush up to hit the ball

they don't take enough time with their

pre shot preparations now before I

initiate my swing I use the pummel not

the waggle and a downward press not the

forward press the pummeling waggle in

the downward press bump

lighter than the downward press pummel

not the like when the down Woodcrest

pummel the leg on the downward press

pummel on the waggle and downward press

damn WordPress Billy never try to dig

your ball out of a bad lie let the club

do the work for you that doesn't look

like an iron shut I think you could use

the driver

when you stop your backswing at the top

to look at the position of your hands

there are two things you learn how many

hands you have and which hand has the

glove on it

Yipes I was complaining about model I

look at this one

no problem Billy grounded a repair will

take a free drop you can't move your

ball there's no ground under repair

signs as well let us look at the rules

of golf see ground under repairs any

portion of the course that is so marked

and ordered by the committee or so

declared by an authorized representative

alright and I accept the responsibility

I hereby solemnly swear to preserve

protect and defend this fine golf course

Soviet I hereby declare this ground

under repair Billy I always remember

make the rules work for you there is no

ground that cannot use a little repair

excuse me I hope you're not bothering

our grounds under repair

[Music]

when a foursome is on the green for is

not an excuse so what is not an apology

and up yours

is not an explanation

[Music]

I'm never gonna find it in this stuff

it's a lost ball I'll take a penalty

stroke and hit another one keep your

cool Billy a penalty stroke your ball

maybe a missing ball but it is obviously

not a lost ball Kelly sooner or later

someone's gonna find your ball right I

guess and they're not gonna post a note

on the clubhouse asking who it belongs

to

so they can return it are they of course

not they're gonna keep it so therefore

your ball is not a lost ball it is a

stolen ball even though the theft in

question will occur sometime in the

future if so facto as at work instead of

e pluribus unum well therefore it would

be a gross miscarriage of justice that

you should be penalized the innocent

victim of this abominable crime against

man and against golf while the thief

gets off scot-free I rest my case

no penny Wayne RESA in the fairway

judge not lest ye be not judged remember

never pick up a lost ball while it is

still roll

[Music]

ah right in the sand trap what a lousy

bounce no whatever you think you're

doing wrong that's the one thing you're

doing right thank god there's no water

ah talk about the mother of all shots

all right

plant the feet open clubface widen the

stance firm up the grip remember to

swing up along the line of the feet

Billy the reason the game is called golf

is because all the other four-letter

words have been taken now when you're in

a trap and you have taken six strokes

you have already exceeded your handicap

and a different approach must be taken

[Music]

now you take up a good stance and plant

your feet firmly bend forward at the

waist and flex your knees extend your

right arm forward and in an easy motion

scoop up the ball let your head come up

naturally swing your arm back the

wrist and in a forward and upward motion

you complete the follow-through Billy I

don't play golf to feel bad I play bad

golf but I feel good excuse me gentlemen

you will be sure to rake that trap won't

you

these four Porter's get me every time

yeah keep you cool Billy keep you cool

let us examine one of the golfers worst

nightmares the shortcut how do we take

the worry out of

[Music]

how do we line up the putt to make

absolutely sure the first putt will go

into the hole

[Music]

how do you stay calm under severe

pressure

[Music]

Wow

and why and what and wherever and

whatever the questions keep repeating

themselves and you ask why not the find

the answer is no and never was and so

that is why

[Music]

and so the ultimate answer is the final

answer remember Billy no putt ever got

longer as a result of being marked

[Music]

real key to golf is a short deep

[Music]

the only thing that you can learn from

golf books is that you can't learn

anything from golf books but you have to

read an awful lot of them to find that

out

you know Billy I've noticed one thing

you don't talk T of all equipment

attitude is very very important and the

ball of course is part of that equipment

via T let me show you what I mean

let him get it well laughs well go right

right right right right right

down fight fight fight fight by eight

ten legs thanks thanks thanks legs

fight fight by there is a spiritual side

to the game of God

well okay Billy talk to your boy

oh go right no go left go left left

that's okay Billy you'll get the hang of

it

excuse me property etiquette requires

that you remain standing after shooting

come on Billy

[Music]

when your ball has to carry over a water

hazard use one more club or two more

balls all right my ball is on the cart

path free drop so what I couldn't get

over these trees in a million years no

no what the hell no no no Billy not that

way

time for you to learn the power drop

rosae stand erect hold the ball at

shoulder height and arm's length and

Robert

but since golfers come in various

Heights the distance is not stipulated

nor is the velocity

[Music]

now I'm meteor drops into the Earth's

atmosphere at about 10,000 miles per

hour and a marksman can drop a deer at a

distance of 300 yards so clearly we have

a great deal of leeway

[Music]

Billy there is a simple secret to the

rules make them work for you the statute

of limitations on forgotten strokes is

two holes

ah Billy there are times when good

sportsmanship is as essential to the

game of golf as good penmanship is to

stock car racing

not every golfer can take strokes off

his own score but with the proper

techniques you can help your opponent

gain strokes on his score

[Music]

you mind

a few swing thoughts really shorter

pivot longer divot dip the hip let her

rip swing late and shift the weight Oh

do you know what that was a higher

trajectory top flight XL Spalding ball

that costs three dollars

really 10% Frankl and 90% mental and

vice versa the difference between a $1

ball and a $3 ball is $2

[Music]

okay Billy you're up

good drive Billy you know I could have

sworn this was the ladies tee the

markers are white not red well this has

got to be out of bounds I don't see any

out of bounds steaks

did that ball come by here

[Music]

[Applause]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

wait a minute

that's what I've been doing wrong

I need a 7-iron off the carpet Billy

there's only one impossible shot in golf

a hole-in-one putt yes be sure way to

get a far is to leave a 4-foot birdie

putt two inches from the hole

[Music]

remember the caddy is there to help you

as to give me really well but the ball

is not inside the leather in Matt's

player allowed to concede to your

opponent a cut of any length never but a

gimme besides in the leather the

distance between the putter head on the

bottom of the grip that distance is a

variable absolute good round Billy thank

you

what is our credo you don't play golf to

feel bad we play bad golf but feel good

[Music]

unless you're already bald never use the

comb in the blue fluid never mention in

front of the club professional that you

need a new set of clubs and nimr by a

putter until you first had a chance to

throw it always limp with the same leg

for the entire round that the swing

weight of the club is as indispensable

to the game of golf as the temperature

of the grass on the fairway

never take lessons from your father

never teach you when to play ball and

never play your son for money

[Music]

freaky movements engulf keep your head

down keep your stupid head down dick get

damn stupid head down

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

golfers who've never cheats also live

[Music]

[Music]

like all classic veteran actress Leslie

Nielsen insists on doing all of his own

stunts

it's what intrigued himself when he

first read the scripts for the daring

dollar commercials his bravado during

the shooting is what legends are made

[Music]

known by today's moviegoers is that

bumbling police sergeant Frank Drebin

Nielsen is also cast as one of

Hollywood's most popular actors so much

so that he is now recognized as one of

the most well known celebrities in the

world today

born to a Royal Canadian Mountie in the

Yukon Territory Nielson found his way to

Lorne Greene school of radio

broadcasting in New York a move that

launched a steady career in movie and TV

roles over the next 40 years is a very

genuine and serious man behind his

comedic veneer during a break on the set

of this year's dollar commercials we

learned more about the man his movies

and his own idols I love doing the

doctor and airplane and I planted some

couple of heavies

yep to our movies made-for-tv shadow

over el verano played a pretty rough

sheriff and the trial run I've played an

international attorney from the wrong

side of the tracks and Pillars of

Hercules that played a Greek

multi-billionaire peasant shipping

magnate and I've enjoyed my work I've

had a good time with my work but I'm

really having the best time of my life

right now I was in town for business and

back to the rental car I have time to

stop by the old neighborhood

place hasn't changed a bit for one more

can't be the shoes what a visit your old

neighborhood rent from dollar they're

right on the airport right on the money

hey it's gotta be the shoes right up

it's a rental car call it the official

car rental company of the NBA this is

different I love doing this kind of

comedy spot that we're here under doing

now go for the fun and I was hard

pressed for a good deal on a rental car

the proof was always in the pudding and

it was a reaction that I got from around

the country and I mean all over and they

would mention naturally make it gone and

things like that but they also say and I

love your commercial hey you know that

thing with the compacts yeah I see

something in the compact well they're

funny and and they're becoming funnier I

had to get the dollar American fans the

people involved in the writing seem to

have put their finger on my pulse

kind of stuff I love it's a lot of beer

cheap so the dumb stupid looks but

Anderson is really intriguing how fun

and comedy can attract attention and

attention means the communication was

working welcome to dollar hello I have a

car rental reservation no problem I'll

just punch up the computer 45 years the

club's been taking this vacation

maybe it should have been 24 welcome $2

something in a full-size as long as

there's room for my hog for as much room

as you need rent from dollar they're

right on the airport right on the money

I'm on the set of cliff hanger where

we're shooting bad golf made easier

Leslie Nielsen's new golf video now that

Leslie has helped you master your golf

game let's go behind the scenes of

Leslie Nielsen's bad golf made easier

very careful very very very changed a

lot of props Casey's on edge has already

been a little you know to the people I

work with I have a kind of technique

that requires so much training so much

work that people with their pathetic

little positions around here feel you

know overwhelmed by me

[Applause]

these people aren't searching for a lost

golf ball on the tee they're actually

part of a highly organized professional

production team led by director Rick

Freiburg hours of preparation go into

exciting scenes like this one ready and

action

amazing isn't it Leslie Nielsen's bad

golf made easier was shot on location at

world-famous Palm Springs California

home of many entertainment superstars

unfortunately they wouldn't return any

of our telephone calls but one local

celebrity did call us constantly hi I'm

Sonny Bono and I'm here on the set of

Leslie Nelson's bad golf made better

that's Leslie Nielsen's bad golf made

easier sun-hee easier and I'm really

glad I'm on the set I do a little acting

part in this Leslie I got you babe for

you Sonny Bono fans who missed Sunny's

performance here it is again Leslie I

got you babe and finally in slow motion

enough already but aside from the acting

part I don't play golf sunny it's a golf

video a golf video but I feel better

about not playing golf now because I

know a lot more about not playing golf

than I did before

thank you very much Sonny for clarifying

that for us for those actors who

appeared for more than two and a half

seconds additional preparation is needed

bad golf made easier is a video it is

not a band a band is a small strip of

rubber gun third sorry that's all right

Gunther

you're not being paid ready and action

and there was a lot of action going on

behind the scenes during the making of

Leslie Nielsen's bad golf made easier

Leslie is an avid golfer and a regular

on the celebrity golf tournament circuit

meanwhile actor Archie Hahn and not to

be outdone keeps the cast and crew on

its toes with memorable drives like this

one

good job ready and action

did that ball come by here should we

shoot this yeah so you know this isn't

just for people who play golf this is

for people who don't play golf because

if you don't play golf but you don't

know why you don't play golf you can

come here and figure out why well you'll

get an idea of

[Applause]

[Music]

[Music]

the next time you think about renting

your house out to a film crew remember

this scene actually it was a golf ball

shot out of an air gun that shattered

window unless you're already involved

never use the comb in the blue fluid

these extras were told they'd be sharing

a jacuzzi with a tall blonde movie star

imagine their surprise when it turned

out to be Leslie Nielsen actor Robert

Donner playing the part of the caddy

surprise Leslie and the crew by finding

his own unique way to beat the heat we

don't play golf to feel bad we play bad

golf but to feel good

[Music]

[Laughter]

god the links to which I go to make the

smallest joke okay why you don't play

golf or should you not play golf if you

do or don't as desert temperatures

soared over a hundred degrees one of the

most popular places was the

air-conditioned makeup trailer

[Music]

because this

interruptions which is kind of

frequently on this production you know

there was no preparation

I think the fact that I was hired you

when you're down so I think that's

that's a tremendous asset for anyone and

I think you should all seriously look at

it from that angle so I implore non

golfers to look at this and study it and

answer those questions I've just posed

lessons bad golf made easier and now I

play my same bad game of golf but I have

a heck of a lot of fun doing it now

could you get out of my line of sight

I'm trying to have some fun here yeah

thanks

faster much faster thank you

as you miss it art

oh that was close

taught meatball etiquette - you know I

hate this game during a break in filming

at the beautiful Westin Mission Hills

Resort in Rancho Mirage even actor

extraordinaire and human billboard

Leslie Nielsen has been known to Duff

aligner

80000 professional instructors who help

them and forty nine million nine hundred

and ninety nine thousand of them still

play bad golf so rejoice or you are part

of a bad Little Italy little what is our

credo belly I don't play bad golf a

little okay left arm straight but not

too rigid elbow tucked in closed but not

locked grip firm but not too firm knees

flexed but not too flexed head down chin

up back slowly

I will never learn to play golf like a

pro why can't I find someone to teach me

to play golf my way

after a hard day of slicing divots and

for cutting star Leslie Nielsen goes in

search of the 19th hole and co-star

Archie Han returns to the links knowing

his bad golf has been made easier
