So on to today's award with the help of our lovely assistant, Natalie Gulbis. So ... everybody loves trolling the internet and wasting time looking at funny videos. Tell us who gave us the absolute best, most unmissable YouTube golf moment in 2007 ... (drumroll) ... envelope, please, Natalie ...
Woody Austin!
Hooray! That's right Natalie, when Woody did this slapstick faceplant into the drink at the Presidents Cup while trying to play out of a pond, he earned new fame and a new nickname on Tour: Aquaman. Not bad for a guy who was seen as just a journeyman not long ago. If you had told us a year ago that Woody Austin would be on our awards podium twice, we would have thought you were mad, but then again, we didn't even think we'd have an awards podium a year ago!
Way to go Woody! ... He's so funny! ... Funny guy!
Yes, by taking the plunge Austin might have earned himself YouTube immortality, because it's hard to imagine a funnier video, erm, surfacing, any time soon. Check out the Woody Austin tombe à l'eau video with the French-Canadian broadcasting team, it's ever funnier in French ... Woody managed to stay dry for his acceptance speech: "I've always said if you're getting recognized, at least you're doing something right" ...

* We would invite all of our winners to our gala Awards Dinner in December, but we fear they might trip on the red carpet or a loose paving stone, or something ...  Our yearly awards are called the "Rusty Awards", instead of "Trusty Awards", because Natalie Gulbis thinks the name of our website is "In Golf Wet Rust". Gulbis is good at golf and glamour, but not so good at grammar.
