Given the amount of love for the man from the US contingent here, I thought y'all would enjoy this new Oakley ad.

I'm not buying into it, it's too herky jerky. I thought my router was acting up...... again.

Is the course as crappy as it looked in the video? I know that they made it drab looking to emphasize the point, and it's probably the camera, but is it supposed to be a nice course?

No the first part of the video isn't Woburn haha!!! The second part with Poults in it is Woburn. Yes, it's considered the one of the best courses in Southern England.

Anyone else find it funny that he goes directly from drinking beer to driving his car?

And the steering wheel was on the wrong side of the car! :)

He can't have one beer and drive?

Absolutely, but I just thought it was funny that they would put those together like that for something that would go on TV...some ninny will chime in.

Oh, I gotcha. I thought you were the proverbial Ninny! The same ninnies that say you can't smoke in Central Park.

If they'd left out the pint, it would have been perfect.

What country do you live in? Of course you can have one beer and then drive. And so can Poulter.

Anyone else find it funny that he goes directly from drinking beer to driving his car?

I would think that having a beer after a game of golf and then driving home is normal thing to do at most golf clubs. There is no implication of irresponsibility here.

In fact, in my country, it is actively encouraged. One of the things that makes clubs struggle financially is when people just play golf and go home. Members' patronage of the bar facilities is very important. And ,obviously, responsible consumption of alcohol is required by law.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

I know, which is why I included that second sentence. But billysandy said that there was a Senior Euro Tour event there, so I was wondering just how crappy it was.

    • I kind of like this interpretation especially if you think about it the unplayable rule would probably put you in a better spot.  using back on the line releief.  
    • I did not realize that, I was thinking a more traditional golf club.  
    • Thanks for the feedback. @StuM, we are a "club without real estate" so no facilities or pro. We have a membership of around 185 players and we only play together as a group at our tournaments, which are held at public access courses. A group of us setup the tournaments, collect the money and dole out the prizes.
    • In general, granting free relief anywhere on the course isn't recommended.  Similarly, when marking GUR, the VSGA and MAPGA generally don't mark areas that are well away from the intended playing lines, no matter how poor the conditions.  If you hit it far enough offline, you don't necessarily deserve free relief.  And you don't have to damage clubs, take unplayable relief, take the stroke, and drop the ball in a better spot.
    • If it's not broken don't fix it. If you want to add grooves to it just because of looks that's your choice of course. Grooves are cut into putter faces to reduce skid, the roll faced putter is designed to do the same thing. I'm no expert but it seems counter productive to add grooves to the roll face. Maybe you can have it sand-blasted or something to clean up the face. Take a look at Tigers putter, its beat to hell but he still uses it.
