Bubba Watson has long held the esteemed title of Official Professional Golfer of ButterscotchSundae.com for several reasons:

1. He seems like a genuinely nice guy. This opinion is based solely on his Twitter feed.
2. He was born on November 5, 1978. I was born on November 4, 1978. We are practically twins.
3. His name is Bubba.
4. He participated in this:

Recently on Twitter, he’s been doing a promotional giveaway kind of thing called Bubbaclaus. He issues a challenge every day, people respond with a photo or a video, and then he gives away a prize. Yesterday’s challenge was to “take a photo trying to look like [Bubba].” So we went outside and did this:

The grip might not be spot-on, but I think the hair and the game-face are pretty well perfect. Apparently Bubba thought so, too. Because later he tweeted this:

Pete was very excited to hear he’d won “the Bubba contest.” So excited, in fact, that he slapped himself in the head and shouted “Aw man!” I don’t think the shirt, visor and golf glove Bubba’s sending will fit him just yet, but we’ll be sure to keep them in a place of honor until they do.

Thanks again, Bubba. You made an already nice day even nicer!
