Patrick Warburton
Actor
Patrick Warburton currently stars in the CBS show “Rules of Engagement,” but he is recognizable to most for his role as “Puddy” on “Seinfeld.”
Warburton’s monotone Puddy — a male bimbo — was the boyfriend of Elaine. Puddy was the auto mechanic who could be your best friend or worst enemy; the insane New Jersey Devils fan who liked to paint his face for games; the macho moron who always wanted a high-five.
A veteran of both TV and film, Warburton has been on such TV shows as “Murphy Brown,” “Designing Women,” “NewsRadio” and “The Tick.” His feature film credits include “Bee Movie,” “Underdog” and “Scream 3.” On his current show, (Mondays, 9:30 p.m. EST, CBS) he plays Jeff, a character who knows that being married can be like a roller coaster ride.
Warburton first picked up a golf club 20 years ago and considers himself a 15 handicap. He’s had one hole-in-one, a fat shot he bounced off a concrete gutter into the cup.

"I think (conditions are a) critical aspect. The course I play is Tierra Rejada (Moorpark, Calif.), a public course. It’s seven minutes from my home. I’m not a club member anywhere; I’ve got four kids to get through college. I don’t need to be a club member because where I live, there is great public golf. The courses are maintained like clubs. Beautiful fairways and greens, very picturesque. And they treat you like club members. (The superintendent) is the wizard behind the curtain. You talk about the state of the course when you’re on it. The course is discussed often, because that’s the playing field. Whatever course you’re on, it’s always critiqued, discussed. In reality, golfers know that there’s a science to it. It’s one of those thankless jobs where, the better you do your work, almost the less you’re noticed. Guys are out there, (saying) ‘Wow, what a beautiful course!’ Well, a lot of work went into this… this is why you pay your green fees. I think (conditions are a) critical aspect.
