The Lyrics

This parody is dedicated to my dad and my Uncle Steve, both of whom are in their sixties and are far from being good golfers yet still feel the need to emulate Tiger Woods' practice techniques and golfing garb and to play 36 holes of golf with men half their age and far better at playing the game, only to be humiliated and then act grouchy for the rest of the day. (Sorry if I insulted you there, guys.) *The official Rules of Golf states that one can carry no more than 14 clubs while playing golf.
(Spoken with Scottish accent)
He’s a really nasty golfer!

Hit the ball you baby, uh huh, uh huh
Hit the ball you baby, uh huh, uh huh
Hit the ball you baby, uh huh, uh huh
And all the golfers say he’s pretty far from a Tiger

(Spoken in Howard Cosell-esque voice)
He hits a great shot, then it lands in the sand!

You know it's kinda hard just to play good golf today
Our subject is no good, but he fakes it anyway
He can’t play worth a darn, and he ain’t got style
On every course he hacks, then he falsifies his score

So keep it real, hit it straight
You know he doesn’t play good golf anyway
Play 18 holes with 14 clubs*
Duffer go away, duffer go away
So if you can’t play, just overcompensate
At least you know you can always get on “Dr. Phil”
No one needs wannabes
Hey, don’t do that duffer thing!


Hit the ball you baby, uh huh, uh huh
Hit the ball you baby, uh huh, uh huh
Hit the ball you baby, uh huh, uh huh
And all the golfers say he’s pretty far from a Tiger

He needs some good clubs, no discount-store sticks
But they had no Titleists, so he bought Pinseeker sticks
Now cruising in his Club Car, he sees experts as he pass
But if he looks twice, they're gonna throw him on the grass!

So keep it real, hit it straight
You know he doesn’t play good golf anyway
Play 18 holes with 14 clubs*
Duffer go away, duffer go away
So if you can’t play, just overcompensate
At least you know you can always get on “Dr. Phil”
No one needs wannabes
Hey, don’t do the duffer thing!

Now he's gettin’ golf balls to practice his swing
He asks for Pro-V’s but they give him Ping Zings
They say he tries too hard and he's not that good
But in his own mind he is, he is Tiger Woods

Hit the ball you baby, uh huh, uh huh
Hit the ball you baby, uh huh, uh huh
Hit the ball you baby, uh huh, uh huh
And all the golfers say he’s pretty far from a Tiger

(Spoken in Howard Cosell-esque voice)
He hits a great shot, then it lands in the sand!

So keep it real, hit it straight
You know he doesn’t play good golf anyway
Play 18 holes with 14 clubs*
Duffer go away, duffer go away
So if you can’t play, just overcompensate
At least you know you can always get on “Dr. Phil”
No one needs wannabes
Hey, don’t do the duffer thing!

This is so funny! You actually drove 3 Par 5's with your song!

Thanks Gari, and thanks to Christie Marie for the compliment and vote. This parody is (kind of) a true story, regarding my Uncle Steve and his golfing antics. He always gets rubbed the wrong way, humiliated and outfoxed on the links, as stated in my prelude. He dresses like, let's call his style something between a reject from a "Caddyshack" casting call and a Nike Golf male model, and he can't golf worth a darn. I'm grateful for the 100% positive comments on this work.

I have made my decision: this is the parody from Andria that I want in my AmIRight opera, Elite Beat Agents: AmIRight Version. 555

Thanks, Andria! I'd love to chat with you whenever I get my own email account.

I liked it Andria not too often you see a golfers parody on here. LOL reading the title thought it would be about a tiger itself not the Tiger Woods 5's under par for you.
Andria - June 07, 2009 - Report this comment
Thanks again, Gari. There are a few more golfing parodies than one would think. I have one parody for sure, maybe two (depends on if I decide to submit it tonight), coming up when Chucky G next updates parody lyrics.
