Almost the perfect golfing buddy.
(Credit: European Tour/YouTube screenshot by Chris Matyszczyk/CNET)When a man called Jeff asks you to join him for a game of golf, you might agree.
However, when a robot called Jeff wants to accompany you to your local links, you'd better be prepared for losing a couple of links in the chain to your perfect swing and your mental equilibrium.
For Jeff the robot is a trash-talking, joyously mean-spirited golfing robot with a very well-honed swing.
Here, in an ad for the European Tour, he teases two-time major champion Rory McIroy about his vast new Nike contract, as well as trying to put off his human adversary by remotely moving a target.
Jeff also confesses to his sexual attraction toward certain kinds of washing machines.
Sometimes, it's very hard to find the right golfing partner.
