Chyron of the Day: Bad Golf News Puns Begin In Tiger Woods Story

by Steve Krakauer | 1:15 pm, November 28th, 2009

Fox News, 12:14pmET:

It took about 12 hours for the initial reports of the serious nature of Tiger Woods‘ car crash to turn into more questions than answers. It took another 12 before news anchors began making bad golf puns – as is par for the course.

From a search of the cable news networks on TVEyes.com, this chyron at 12:14pmET on Fox News appears to be the first golf pun chyron – now that we know, at the very least, Woods is not seriously hurt.

Some early news puns from Brian Wilson of Fox News: “”whether Tiger’s image could hit a sand trap” and “turn out to be a big bogey on Tiger’s image.” Drop any more you hear today in the comments…there will be many more.

And thanks to @MorettiPHD for the “par for the course pun” and to @winston_wolfe for suggesting Woods “should’ve used a driver.” True.

After years of the cringe-worthy pronunciation of nu-cu-lar during the Bush White House, it seemed like we finally had an administration who had a litmus test in staffing their National Security detail - pronounce the word "nuclear." Not so. During an interview to discuss Iran's weapons program with MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell today, National Security Chief of Staff Denis McDonough definitely uttered the term Nucular. Gotcha! Right-wing critics eager for payback? Go! Video after the jump.
