I'll bet there are hundreds of greens superintendents shaking their heads when they watch Fowler race a dirt bike through a bunker and on a green....just what we need...another suggestion planted in non-golfers who ride dirt bikes without thinking

Huh ? What exactly are you complainting about ? Do you seriouly think some dirt biker is going to go out to the course and try that because of the commercial ? Pretty sure society is well adapted to television not being realistic and clearly the commercial is meant as entertainment,

When a company makes a club in the USA I will proudly display their brand here. All of mine were made in china by somebody making $2 a day. Shame on you Mr club manufacture.

I also cringed when I saw the commercial.  When I was in high school, a friend of mine did donuts on the 18th green in his Ford Bronco.  The advertisers really wanted to display his motocross skills, but the greens should be left alone.

I will bet that somewhere in the USA in the next 6 months, a dirt bike will do damage on a green because of that commercial

Here is the reply to my question posed to the US Greens Superintendent's Assoc. from Jeff Bollig

Quote " In general, GCSAA takes the position that any commercial depiction of intentional acts damaging golf courses is inapporpriate. This particular ad is consistent with our stance."

I can see the NDA (National Dirtbike Association) coming out against this post with a new PSA campaign entitled..."Dirt bikes don't damage greens...people do."

Maybe the super's can have a commercial..."Now repair your ball marks and rake those bunkers!  No really, can you rake the bunker?  Even Ricky Fowler's caddy raked the bunker after that commercial, now what's your excuse?"

ROFL, that would be a really great answer!

I wonder how much the golf course was bunged for the ad. Can't believe the super in charge would have been in favor.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
