Is this not something you have always wondered about? I know I have. How do they get those cars to look like they are floating in the middle of the lake? I always thought they brought the car in by helicopter and placed it on a platform. But this video, presented by John Strege of Golf Digest, enlightened me!

The most pressing question of the day in PGA Tour golf, apparently, inasmuch as the PGA Tour put issued a video answer: How do those cars float in place in the middle of ponds at PGA Tour events with automobile sponsors?The first thing to know is that they don’t really float. No, really. Let’s go to the video tape of a Cadillac assuming its position at Trump Doral, site of this week’s WGC-Cadillac Championship:

Here’s hoping the Cadillac fares better than a Honda did at the Honda Classic last week. On Saturday, it appeared on the verge of sinking as torrential rain raised the water level of the pond by the 18th green at PGA National.
