Hugh Freeze is having quite the noteworthy past seven days. He played in Biloxi's prestigious C-Spire Pro-Am along PGA icon Fred Couples. He found out he'd be driving the pace car at the Talldega 500 later this spring. And -- most importantly -- he pranked Couples with a rubber snake.

No, the prank wasn't on April 1 ... but it was in spirit. Via the Clarion-Ledger and the Golf Channel Academy's Twitter feed, here's the video, which doesn't include as much reaction from Couples as the prankster might hope but does include Freeze unstoppably giggling as he sets the (quite lifelike) snake in place:

Be sure to tune in next week when Freeze will drop Amazon gift certificates from an Ole Miss-emblazoned hot air balloon over campus, or something similar, no doubt.
