Who would have expected Ben Crane to be the  guy with the funny workout video that went viral last week?

Cigar Guy is a distant memory in the golf viral world. And to be honest, not many things go viral in the golf world. Off the top of my head

But Ben Crane? The only thing he’s known for is playing super slow and having Rory Sabatini play through him while in the same group. Along with his slow play reputation, Crane is also known for having the personality of a Grenadier Guard. Via Local Knowledge:

“If the image of tour players is X, my image is X times two,” says Crane. “I’m serious about my relationship with Christ, walking with Jesus, my wife, my family and I play slow, but ask people close to me, they’ll tell you there’s more to me than just that.”

Crane, his caddy Joel Stock and friend, Sam Martin, made the video back in May, but were reluctant to put it out because they weren’t sure if Crane’s sponsors would be okay with it, and if they were, if it was even funny enough.

When the sponsors gave Crane the go-ahead, he still wanted to know if it was funny enough, so he went to his wife, Heather.

“My wife is the best judge of funny,” says Crane. “There’s no courtesy laugh in her. When she said it was funny, we knew we might have something.”

The goal for the workout video was to enhance Crane’s image as a stiff who played slow. So far so good.

And Crane says that there will be more videos to come, he’s not a one-hit wonder.
