I almost hate them. Especially the one where the guy moans and chews on a tree. Ugh. Horrible. And since they're Golf Channel, you see them ALL the time…

Pretty well sums it up for me.  The guys doing the commercials look like idiots too.  Not funny or amusing in the least.  It was timely that I just found this thread, as the one with the doofus eating

The raptor office guy ones are awesome, especially when you have a 6 year old daughter who loves dinosaurs, just had a dinosaur birthday, and you just bought clubs for trying to get her into golf. :)

I find 99% of all commercials worse than these, so it's weird that these were singled out. At least they are somewhat clever (for a commercial).

Compared to almost every other commercial out there, they're really not that bad. You've got all the awful car insurance commercials. You've got Kars for Kids. You've got got car commercials. Then you've got LOCAL car commercials. As a matter of fact, now that I think about it, the golf dinosaur commercials really aren't that bad.

I've been seeing them quite a bit lately. The one that was on a moment ago, I chuckled out loud and said "that's such a stupid commercial." I don't even remember what they're advertising.

I really, really don't like the one where the guy moans. That sound makes me want to punch things.

I did use the service when moving to Florida. It was simple and worked nicely. Commercials, awful.

I haven't watched a commercial in years. Everything I watch, including the Golf Channel, is pre-recorded or sometimes just start-delayed by half an hour. On an hour show there are 22 minutes of commercials or more, so by the time the show ends, I am almost caught up with real-time watching.  If I want to watch 2 things in a row, I record them both and watch later.  The DVR is the best TV invention since.... well, TV!

They're annoying and stupid.


Pretty well sums it up for me.  The guys doing the commercials look like idiots too.  Not funny or amusing in the least.  It was timely that I just found this thread, as the one with the doofus eating the leaves just came on a couple minutes ago and I was thinking how stupid it was.

Pretty well sums up 95% of all commercials - golf or otherwise. But yeah, these are lame.

Most of the golf commercials out now are pretty lame. I guess the blond in the office golf dinosaur commercial is halfway decent looking. Otherwise both versions are awful. This is the only current golf commercial I find funny: [VIDEO]https://youtu.be/IM1LLGFmyzY[/VIDEO]

Yeah, pretty dumb. God forbid you call the golf course to speak to an actual person. Who the heck would even wait until Friday to book a tee time anyway? ;-)

      Hybrids

      By p1n9183 ·

      Have a 19° (moved to 20.5°) Titleist 915H. I just love the club. Beautiful feel off the sweetspot, high launch, soft landing. Versatile. In the future, with less overall speed I will replace my 4 and 5 irons with another hybrid, something around 26°.

      Last (Golf) Thing You Bought?

      By p1n9183 ·

      Broke the head of a Stealth Plus on a warm up. TaylorMade send me a new head but I decided to upgrade it to the new IQ10 LS and pay the difference. While I was waiting for the 8° head to arrive at the store I messed around with all the multi brand putts they had available. I instantly liked a black TaylorMade Spider, not the new one but very similar. The weight felt perfect. Big line in the middle for easy alignment. I was playing and old Zebra so the change in technology and feel was huge. Fast review of both clubs.. Driver QI10 LS. I always hit to ball up in the sky. I was playing the stealth at 7° with a 60g X low flight shaft and I was still hitting it pretty high. With the QI10 playing it at 6° now is almost hard for me to hit it high, with the same shaft the ball comes out lower and with less spin. so I'm really happy with the change. Putter Spider. I love it. It took me an afternoon to figure out how to grip it (it comes with a superStroke grip) but after that it all came into place. More stable on short putts and a good weight to swing smoothly on long putts and with added forgiveness over my old zebra.

      I have a 2h but we don’t get along anymore. It’s a bit of an abusive relationship - she gives me just enough hope once in a while that things are going to be better and then it’s back to the same old shit. I went to a PING fitting recently with the intention to replace the hybrid with a 5w or something, thinking maybe I’ll be better with a fairway wood than a hybrid. But it turns out the best club I hit that fits in that slot in the bag is another hybrid so I ordered it.

      By GolfLug ·

      Not the last thing I bought or bought anything at all but Sun Day Red stuff seems a bit overpriced for it essentially being rebranded Nike apparel. I'm hearing the resale prices are wild though. Either way, I highly doubt I will indulge as I'm not much of a brand guy or a collector. But to keep up my super nice guy image have never turned down a gift though 😇 Tiger doesn't seem to sell stuff like MJ or Kanye did.
