From the visuals in the promo it seems like they are encouraging the use of cell phones and wireless devices at Tour events! Is this knuckling under?

I think the slogan is good, although like @klineka I first read it with a long i. I think the trailer is terrible. The editing seemed really immature, as if someone's 13 year old kid did it, and

Don't like it. "These guys are good" was great, though. Where do you go from there?

I was watching GC last night and saw 3 of these horrible commercials.  OMG they are SO bad!  Worse than I could have thought.

Before the New Live Under Par commercials they might want to throw up a warning and say "View Under the Influence!"

Now having seen it a number of times, it is starting to grow on me.  Still like the "these guys are good" better but the "live under par" isn't too bad.

I wasn't sure I could hate it more than already.  But each week it just seems worse and worse and more ridiculous.  STAHHHHP

Every time I see it, I think of a parent or uncle trying to be cool and talk to kids about the instagrams.

It has to be really weird-sounding for anyone outside of the world of golf.

"Live Under Par" doesn't sound all that good unless you have an idea what the golf-specific meaning of par is. Otherwise, it sort of sounds like Live Poorer or Live Below the Average.

The new promotion reminds me of the annoying crap at the beginning of video games.  

In der bag:
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 dislike them equally.  They both suck.

These guys are good is just dumb.

Live under par literally makes no sense.

But some ad agency was well payed to come up with it, and I wasn't, so I guess I am the dumb one.

Always remember, the same country that invented golf and called it a game, invented bag pipes and called it music.

      However, have you ever considered using small summer houses for such setups? They offer a great solution for creating dedicated practice areas, especially for an affluent audience looking to enhance their outdoor living space.

      I've played Bali Hai, Bear's Best and Painted Desert. I enjoyed Bali Hai the most--course was in great shape, friendly staff and got paired in a great group. Bear's Best greens were very fast, didn't hold the ball well (I normally have enough spin to stop the ball after 1-2 hops).  The sand was different on many holes. Some were even dark sand (recreation of holes from Hawaii). Unfortunately I was single and paired with a local "member" who only played the front 9.  We were stuck behind a slow 4-some who wouldn't let me through even when the local left. Painted Desert was decent, just a bit far from the Strip where we were staying.

      Honestly, unless there's something about that rough there that makes it abnormally penal or a lost ball likely, this might be the play. I don't know how the mystrategy cone works, but per LSW, you don't use every shot for your shot zones. In that scatter plot, you have no balls in the bunker, and 1 in the penalty area. The median outcome seems to be a 50 yard pitch. Even if you aren't great from 50 yards, you're better off there than in a fairway bunker or the penalty area on the right of the fairway. It could also be a strategy you keep in your back pocket if you need to make up ground. Maybe this is a higher average score with driver, but better chance at a birdie. Maybe you are hitting your driver well and feel comfortable with letting one rip.  I get not wanting to wait and not wanting to endanger people on the tee, but in a tournament, I think I value playing for score more than waiting. I don't value that over hurting people, but you can always yell fore 😆 Only thing I would say is I'm not sure whether that cone is the best representation of the strategy (see my comment above about LSW's shot zones). To me, it looks like a 4 iron where you're aiming closer to the bunker might be the play. You have a lot of shots out to the right and only a few to the left. Obviously, I don't know where you are aiming (and this is a limitation of MyStrategy), but it seems like most of your 4 iron shots are right. You have 2 in the bunker but aiming a bit closer to the bunker won't bring more of your shots into the bunker. It does bring a few away from the penalty area on the right.  This could also depend on how severe the penalties are for missing the green. Do you need to be closer to avoid issues around the green?  It's not a bad strategy to hit 6 iron off the tee, be in the fairway, and have 150ish in. I'm probably overthinking this.
