"If I get a birdie..." - Steve Harvey reveals his special rules while playing golf

Steve Harvey is an American actor and comedian famous for hosting several shows, including the Miss Universe competition.

Harvey recently shared a video on Twitter in which he made a hilarious remark about him getting a 'birdie':

"I play bogey golf on most golf courses. I play like this. If I get a par, that's a birdie for me. If I get a birdie. Oh. The talking is endless. Oh, oh, oh. If I get a birdie, you only want to be on. You don't even want to be in that foursome. You go hear about it."

Later on, Steve Harvey spoke about losing golf balls and the special rules he follows:

"I've lost a lot of golf balls. I've only played two rounds of golf with the same ball, and I've saved both of those balls. Yeah, man, if I play a whole round of golf and I end up with the same ball, that's a great day for me, man."

Harvey also recalled the incident when he shot an 82 while playing with the same ball the whole day:

"And the time that I did that, I shot a 82. Wow, which was like a great round for me, man. But I shot. I shot just 82. I had seven pars, man. I was so quiet because I don't know who this dude was! I had seven pars, man."

He continued:

"I was, I mean, I can't drive the ball deep anymore, man. If I... If I get it out there 230, I'm good. I play from the whites. I'm 64 I hit 230. I can find my golf ball. That's the most important thing off the tee."

Steve Harvey did not stop after the 'playing with the same ball' remark, as he continued in his sarcastic style to describe his feelings while playing in the sand:

"I hate being in the sand and getting out of the sand and hit the ball over in all the sand trap. That's the one that's demoralizing and hitting it in the sand and stay right there. I just go, man. I would almost rather afford not to get out the sand than to hit it over to the other sand, because now you have that momentary moment of hope that you got it out and then you realize you're back in it again."

Harvey ended the conversation by recognizing himself as being an 'athlete' throughout his life, though he finds golf the 'hardest game' he's ever played:

"That's the only golf. That's the most fun, but it's the hardest game I've ever played. And I'm an athlete. You know, I've been athletic my whole life, so I thought I'd be able to just now really hard game."
