Usually when a professional golfer tees it in up in a pro-am, they’re paired with some celebrity or CEO; maybe a fellow athlete from a different sport. Sometimes it’s a lowly old golf writer, but usually there’s some level of fame involved and, almost always, they’re human.

With a little patience and a lot practice, Setanta will be a scratch in no time.
