Woody Austin at this year's President's Cup

Some of the humorous comments heard at the President's Cup after Woody Austin's face-first plunge into the water:

"Hey Woody, the Russian judge gave you an eight.", howled Vijay Singh.

"It's funny. For years he was known as the guy who banged his head against his putter. And now he's the guy who banged his head against the water" - Retief Goosen

"I'm going with Phil Mickelson and Jacques Cousteau" - Jack Nicklaus announcing his pairings for Saturday.

And my own contribution:

What do you get when a golfer falls in the water? A Woody

Or:

Iain and Colin were playing golf one Saturday morning when Iain found his ball in the water hazard, nearly submerged yet playable. He kicks off his shoes, peels off his socks, rolls up his trouser legs and prepares to play his next shot.

Colin, unable to stifle a snicker, blurts out, "Don't pull a Woody!"

Or:

Golf term recently added to the golf lexicon-
"Woody" n. To play a shot from a water hazard after which you turn and fall face first into the water; syn-Aquaman

Ok, enough of that! Please feel free to add to these if you have heard any good ones (or bad or indifferent ones, doesn't matter)

Happy Golfing!
