I'm Jason Day.

00:01

Today, I'm gonna control myself like

00:03

I'm in my own video game.

00:04

(electronic tones)

00:06

Holy mackererel.

00:07

Aww, bloody hell.

00:07

(energetic electronic tones)

00:13

It's the hardest thing ever, because I don't know where--

00:15

I'm not looking at the golf ball,

00:16

I am looking at a golf ball,

00:17

but I am looking at a golf ball.

00:18

I don't know where to look.

00:20

I'm trying to look for the golf ball,

00:21

because I'm usually looking down here.

00:23

[Assistant] Where am I going? This way? Yep.

00:25

This way, alright.

00:28

Alrighty.

00:29

Here's the ground.

00:31

I've got no depth perception at all.

00:34

Please hit a good shot.

00:41

Is that center there?

00:43

(golf ball strike) Oh, I topped it.

00:45

Bloody hell, you know what?

00:50

(golf ball strike)

00:51

I really didn't want to put a mark on my driver.

00:53

Why am I looking up?

00:55

(laughter) I don't know.

00:57

No, that's the wrong way.

00:58

Do I have to go change a club?

01:00

(energetic electronic tones)

01:04

No, that feels like a five.

01:05

That close to it?

01:06

Congratulations, you found it.

01:08

Oh, thank you. (laughter and clapping)

01:09

I tried to feel the loft, tried to feel the number at first,

01:11

but then tried to feel the loft.

01:13

Here we go, I got it, I got it, I got it.

01:15

What the hell, man?

01:19

Aww.

01:22

I really do wanna break a golf club right now.

01:25

Aww, please God.

01:29

Awww!

01:33

Where is the ball?

01:35

(golf ball strike) Aww, shank.

01:37

(sighs)

01:39

(golf ball strike)

01:41

[Assistant] There you go. (cheers)

01:43

I actually closed my eyes on that, so I felt pretty good.

01:46

I gotta change to a putter, eh?

01:47

Aww, sorry. Over here, over here.

01:51

(energetic electronic tones)

01:53

Oh, yeah.

01:54

Oh (short electronic tone)

01:55

Sorry, I just swore.

01:57

It's going to be a little left.

01:59

Okay. Are you just aiming it dead straight at the hole?

02:03

(remote control car whizzing by)

02:06

[Assistant] Aww, man, come on! No!

02:08

Even with that stupid beaver.

02:11

That was going in, right?

02:13

That was totally going in.

02:14

[Assistant] Looks good.

02:17

(short electronic tone) Sorry (mumbles).

02:24

I duffed it.

02:26

(cheers and applause)

02:27

Oh, I duffed it in!

02:29

Yes, even with a duff, it still goes in.

02:32

Where am I heading now?

02:35

(cheerful techno music)

02:43

(moves into energetic techno music)

02:47

Alright, where is it?

02:49

Here we go.

02:52

No, that's not it.

02:53

I don't know where to pour it, is that it?

02:59

I feel like I'm doing alright.

03:00

Where the frick is the thing?

03:05

Alright, alright, the handle, okay.

03:10

(liquid pouring)

03:13

(drinking and satisfied sigh)

03:16

Aww!

03:17

It is fun.

03:18

You know what, actually, no it is not fun.

03:20

I like to hit golf shots kind of semi-straight,

03:24

and I just had, like I said, I had no clue.

03:27

It feels like I'm a beginner trying to start golf again.
