...the idiot at the ad agency that thought up the "kazoo  commercial" for Facebook! That thing gets on my nerves like no other! Well, maybe other than the Tom Watson/Justin Rose commercials for Mastercard. The whole 2 of them! I understand that Mastercard is the title sponsor of the tourney, but they really drove that right into the ground!

(K title change which makes this different, but) i want to kill...my neighbors dogs. Constant barking whenever they are outside. Just trying to debate how to do it. Let my dog eat them or wack them with a shovel and bury them in the meadow nearby.

Cleveland Hi-Bore driver, Maltby 5 wood, Maltby hybrid, Maltby irons and wedges (23 to 50) Vokey 59/07, Cleveland Niblick (LH-42), and a Maltby mallet putter.                                                                                                                                                 "When the going gets tough...it's tough to get going."

I saw the kazoo commercial for the first time the other night.  It became very tiring about half way through.  It came on again later and I couldn't grab the remote fast enough!

Good memory......DAMN YOU!!!! I used to hear that on the radio a few years ago. What's even better is the graphic. What idiots come up with this stuff? Consider, you have a red headed child (stepchild?), driving a vintage 'Vette, with a puppy in the trunk along with a fishing pole trailing a treble hook loaded lure flailing the in the breeze! 

Maybe it's me, sorry. But I tend to parse words and look at detail.

Maybe a little arsenic laced steak or ground meat chucked over the fence!? 

Seriously, I know we seem to attribute perversity, or is it perverseness, to humans only, But sometimes I wonder. My next door neighbor used to have a couple of dachshunds that she'd let out in her fenced in back yard to do their business and run around. They would be routinely driven crazy by the resident squirrel, who would lay on a branch above them, and twitch that tail around, all the while staring down at them! 

I'd hear all Hell breaking loose and go out to watch the show. That squirrel would be laying on a branch, flicking it's tail all over, driving those dogs crazy! To the point where they were so frustrated at not being able to bite a hunk out of squirrel hide, they'd start ripping into each other! Once that happened, the squirrel seemed to be satisfied, and would climb up the tree and disappear from sight.

Bill... where the heck do you find these?  That is genius... the commercial GIVES you a headache so you have to buy the product.  Imagine watching it when you already have a headache. 

Here's the companion commercial to "Head On".

I teach eighth grade, and I have to hear it ALL DAY LONG.  The kids think it's hilarious.  I think it's the equivalent of having cockroaches try and gnaw their way through my eardrums.

    • I'm waiting for someone to come up with a way that 125mph clubhead speed results in a dead reaction, but 124 or less and 126 or higher results in a fast reaction. Something like a ball with a fluid layer that you only get to if you swing faster than 124mph, but it's thin, so once you reach 126mph you are connecting with the layer inside that and it gets faster again. It's probably obvious by now that I am not a golf ball design expert 🙂 
    • I think it’s mostly the “soft” and spinny  alls that were popular more so a few years ago. Callaway SuperSoft springs to mind, though @cedrictheo might disagree. 🤣

    • Not sure if my logic is sound but I'm thinking a @ 4% rollback is not a big deal.  True, I like to brag about the super long drives I occasionally get but those are exceptions.   Assuming a typical Par-4 holes range from 240-490 yards.  The mid-point is @ 365 yards for a Par 4. Assume a non-elite golfer today has a typical drive of @ 235 on a 365 yard Par-4 hole they have @ 130 approach to center after drive.  Now let's assume this player has 10 yard gaps in his clubs and his 9 Iron is typically his 130 club.  Depending upon hazards, etc. around the green he may play a PW, 9 or 8 for that hole. Under new ball, the typical drive decreases to @ 226 leaving @ 139 into center.  Under same assumptions above the player may consider hitting his 9,8 or 7 iron. True, longer shots have higher error rates but how many of us get upset when we have to hit a 9 Iron instead of a PW?  or a 7 Iron vs a 8 Iron.   A longer hitter that goes 300 yards today loses @ 12 yards after a 4% rollback.  They go from 65 yards in to 77 yards on the approach.  Yes, longer, but maybe 1 club?  Or maybe a full swing vs 2/3rd swing on the same club? I understand placement of hazards also comes into play but is hitting my Driver to 1 foot short of the hazard for the shortest possible 2nd shot to clear that much easier than being 10-12 yards back?  It may take going for the green in 2 on a par-5 more difficult but that should be difficult.  Yes, the rollback has  an impact on us non-elite golfers as well as the elite golfers, but is it really all that bad for us? And from a different view, a non-elite golfer can work to more than offset the distance rollback.  Take lessons to strike the ball more consistently & better.  Do Speed training.  If we can just add 10% to our typical distance we will have more than offset the rollback and would be hitting longer than with the current ball.  An elite golfer already has a great swing & higher speed and thus it may be harder for them to overcome a rollback.  
    • Dang-it, you beat me to it 😛  I am kind of shocked by this. I wonder if there is a common thread in the type of golf ball. The conforming list of golf balls is around 1185 make and models (about 15 golf balls per page, and 79 pages). Maybe 30% of golf balls just suck. Yea, it might just tell us more about how much variance there is between golf balls that 30% of them are already 4-5% worse. Which probably makes sense.
