 A:    Good morning golf aficionados¹! My name is Rick
        Fields, and you guessed  it, I am here with my
        main man, Bob Copeland.

 B:    Thank you, Rick! As you can see, ladies and gen-
       tleman, we are here in beautiful Pebble² Beach
       where the top golfers in the world are trying to
       win the grand prize of one million dollars!

 A:    Whoa, that’s a lot of cash!  Let’s go to the course
       and see how Tiger Woods is doing.

 B:    All right, were’re here at the eighth hole. It’s a par³
       four, and has some very difficult hazards which
        many golfers find difficult to avoid. Although, I did
       see Jack⁴ Nicklaus hit a hole in one on this very
       same hole!
 A:    Tiger Woods is about to tee off, and let’s see if
        he has the same luck as Jack. Tiger  is  asking
        his caddie for his driver and, he seems to be very
        nervous.

 B:    Oh no!  Not a good swing at all!  It’s definitely not
        his day today.  On the seventh hole he got a bo-
       gey and before that he barely made par.  He will
       definitely not get a birdie on this shot.

 A:     It seems that his ball has flown somewhere deep
        in  the  trees. He  is  having  a  hard  time  finding  it
       and even his caddie has climbed a tree to try and
       spot it.

 B:    Oh no! A bear!  Run, Tiger, run!  Somebody call
       animal control!
