So ... on to today's award with the help of our lovely assistant, Natalie Gulbis. Now, Nats, as we know, golf is full of dirty evil nasty scoundrels. For our Villain of the Year, for example, we could nominate Tim Finchem every time and probably not have to think about it at all ...
Or George Bush. Doesn't he play golf?
He might, Nats, but not very well. We're talking about an award which goes to a guy who is a really, really good golfer, but really, shall we say, doesn't come off as a very nice guy.
Can I have two guesses?
OK Nats, go ahead.
Stephen Ames?
Close, but no cigar. The guy we're thinking of is so nasty, he called out Tiger Woods when he was still suffering from the death of his father, and expecting his own first child, and had the nerve to say Tiger was "now beatable" (and then got beaten down for it). Do you know who now, Nats? ... (drumroll) ... envelope, please, Natalie ...
Rory Sabbatini! What a jerk!
Hooray! That's right Natalie. Rory's not making many friends out there shall we say. Fantastic golfer, but Rory has a chip on his shoulder that won't go away. After pissing Tiger off earlier in the season, he proceeded to really piss Tiger off by withdrawing from Tiger's Target World Challenge at Sherwood whilst trailing by 28 strokes ... And went to Hawaii.
Let me at him!
Hold on there, you've got to wait your turn in line, Nats. There are plenty out there who want a piece of Rory Sabbatini, starting with Fred Couples. And despite Freddie's bad back and all, I'd still pay to see that fight ...
Look at that picture! It just says "It's all about me!" ... Just give me my ink-pen marker. I want to draw a curly beard and a mustache on his face.
Have at it Nats. ... Well that's it for today's awards, and the biggies are coming up day-by-day. Say Nats, while you've got that ink pen out, mightn't you draw a beard and mustache on me please?
Slap!
I'll be so glad when we're done with the nice guy/nasty guy awards. Stay tuned folks ... Nats. ... Hey, Nats ... more awards to do babe ... sorry didn't mean that babe remark ... oh damn ...

* We would invite all of our winners to our gala Awards Dinner in January, 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.
