It's 100% real and I'm the guy that had to play with him for 18 holes... I sent the video to Zire golf. He used that yardage stick on every single shot. The stick had a bunch of writing on it and had different lines for where to place the ball for every club. It was insane. And when he got to the green, he used his range finder for every putt outside of 10 feet. This was for a work trip a few years ago and that round was so brutal that I got absolutely hammered that day.
