While I appreciate the humorous sentiment, I do question the . . . well, class of the advertisement.
A great interest of mine is in sports advertising, particularly in a grandeur thematic idea of perpetuating and exploiting the athlete - fan relationship as a means to further the sport (and the athlete). As I've made abundantly aware (particularly in with regards to social media), the ability to facilitate a connection between an athlete (golfer) and his/her constituency is prerequisite for commercial success.
Where television commercials do not provide direct insight into the lives of athletes, they do provide a symbolic entrance into the personality (even if that personality is fabricated by an advertising agency / public relations department) of an athlete.
Hence, I present a collection of my favorite golf commercials -- albeit the Tiger Woods version . . .
As a compliment, my favorite sports commerical following the similiar competition, athlete - driven theme.

The ads are great. Hard to believe Tiger has been around that long? . . . I seem to recall when you were only 8 years old you walked along with him - in the fairway - at a college tournament in the Chicago area. . . Time flies.
