Don't take life so seriously. You'll never get out alive. I, personally, love these commercials. I like Kuchar, and the understated humor. My only issue is that Sketchers apparently doesn't und

I also found the ads to be funny.   It made me laugh out loud.  Hope to see more (I think there were only 2 or 3).

Don’t get me started about Kuchar.  To this very day, his dad makes me very angry.  It still causes me much anger to think back to the Augusta Masters how insulting and sophomoric Peter Kuchar acted when caddying for Matt.  Justin Leonard should have had Kuchar’s dad dismissed from the tournament.

OK, I'll bite ... what gives.    Must have been a MASSIVE media event for nothing to be easily found on Google about it. :whistle: His dad Peter was said to be a bit of a cheerleader for his son at the US Open when he was caddying ... are you upset about a father rooting for his son - maybe you didn't get enough hugs when you were a child ??

Don't feed the rant please.  It is off topic.

Nope. I laugh at the "drive it 300 yards, dead center of the fairway" one like an insane chimp.

"Do that every time and you will be fine out there" is my favorite line.

I, too, enjoy these commercials, especially the one that @dkolo mentioned about the 300 yards one.

I will admit, though, I'm curious about what @Ferguson is brought up about Kuchar and his father.

I’m going to try and explain this without going off topic. Kuchar wears Sketchers and therefore does TV commercials that endorse the brand. Some people like the commercials and find levity in such. Please see plethora of posts. Some people do NOT like the commercials. However, before he got the contract to endorse this brand of footwear, he played in the Augusta Masters with his dad on the bag. To my knowledge, his dad did not wear Sketchers or do any TV commercials at the time. His dad was not a professional caddie and made some serious mistakes on the course during round. It made Justin Leonard, Ernie Els and ME very angry. Ernie and Justin do not appear in the Sketchers commercials, nor do they endorse the brand, to my knowledge. Kuchar’s dad was not a professional and didn’t care what people thought about it. It made me angry.

I do not appear in the commercials, and do not endorse Sketchers.

Ok - that's a pretty funny post (at least to my sense of humor).  nicely done.

as for the off topic info - I'm glad you have a forum to get this off your chest occasionally, doesn't bug me either way.  the above e-mail makes it worth it

(I do not represent any shoe company, yet I find these commercials funny.  I also find them to be more on the lines of honoring those nike/woods commercials now that i see them played back to back.  they are so identical in tone as to be considered a Tribute)

My only reaction to seeing Matt’s commercials featuring the Sketcher’s brand was, “wow, someone paid him a good chunk of cash to wear those things.”

I’d be willing to bet his dad has a few free pairs in the closet too. That makes me angry that his dad gets free shoes.

I’m partial to ECCO shoes. I had a pair of ECCO Crossfires that lasted 4 years of walking.

It was bound to happen – someone was going to bring up Kuchar or his Dad.   I hold grudges, yes.   Kuchar’s dad makes me very angry.  I can’t forgive Matt or his Dad.   I will never buy the Sketchers brand.  It’s very upsetting.   His dad owns an insurance business in Florida and from what I hear – it’s a bit sketchy.

That commercial was hilarious, but these comments are hilarious. Like really, it's that serious? That's a ton of anger

No, Ferguson's posts are intelligible and articulated very well. So, we know exactly what he feels about something after reading them one time. . .

I'm a Kutcher fan. I've never cared for their shoes so I probably won't buy any Sketcher golf shoes. I did just score some FJ Hyperflex and they feel great. No matter for now...since I apparently live in the North Pole.

the commercials are funny imho....and do exactly what their meant to do, generate laughs and get us talking about them, for that good job by Kuchar and from Sketchers.  Doesn't make me want to go out and buy a pair though.

      Article, Lessons From the Worst Golf Instructor in America

      By iacas ·

      More actual thoughts on the articles: Oh boy. I taught 5SK, and before that, I was S&T certified. Those experiences, for many good instructors, are additive. They're not "all" that they are. If I were to go through Scott Cowx's certification, or Dr. Kwon's, or James Ridyard's, or whomever's… I wouldn't be a "method" teacher any more than I am now. I'd be adding tools to the toolbox. He says there are "system" teachers, "non-system" teachers, and method teachers. Which one am I? A "non-system teacher"? So, I don't have any systems or structure? Or am I a "system" teacher with a bunch of branches and if/then/else statements? I don't know. The physics thing as it relates to S&T… yeah, that's already been discussed. Huh? Brendan, sorry, that part is bogus AF. Of course the arms go "around" somewhat. It's back, up, and in. Down, out, and forward. Plus, again, "energy can either be created or destroyed" isn't even right, as many of you have said. It's "neither" and it can be transformed, too. Plus, as others noted, that's typically a closed system: in our bodies we transform sugars and other things to create movement, energy. I'm going to move off this before I get totally annoyed… "These are the pontifications of a method" — no, the specific example he cited is the way everyone who has ever played good golf moves their hands - back, up, and in. The clubhead moves that way, too. I've seen this happen. This part might be the most accurate part of the article (it's no longer clear whether he's talking about this fellow or just talking in general here.) "Now here’s the sinister thing: The overwhelming information is by design." — If the instructor is as incompetent as he says, he's likely not doing any of this "by design." He doesn't sound bright enough to do so. WTF does that have to do with anything? Probably happens to some extent sometimes, but is that the instructor's fault? Or the student for not recognizing it? Also, again, this instructor doesn't seem to be bright (not that this article even really talks about the instructor anymore), so… I doubt he's doing all of this intentionally. People are found out eventually. I'm at a point where I get a lot of referrals from people who have noticed their friends playing better golf, and ask. Or people want to brag about their improvements, and that sells their friends. "As a result, these players couldn’t play golf." — Huh? I think he just observed when he was there. Not that he went out of his way to watch. 😄

      Is it possible that he writer is full of shit himself? "After months of listening and watching...". Yeah right, cuz that's so normal for writers do that just to get a single article out of the massive endeavor. I mean unless you are angling for a Rant-Pulitzer (Yup, it is a thing.. like, totally).
