Anyone else remember the beer commercials from the 80s or 90s with sports mash-ups, like “Sumo-High Diving”, “Wiener Dog Drag Racing”, and “Full Contact Golf”?? Now THAT would make Golf Watchable!
I don’t watch golf although I’ve caught a little when browsing channels and I noticed the announcers always whisper. I agree with the comedian (I don’t remember who it was) who said: they should use Latin Soccer announcers. "and it’s in the HOOOOLLLLLLLE!!!
I saw a clip on ESPN.com of a golfer hitting a hole-in-one on that notorious course where the hole (like this) is on an island. Amazing (and lucky) shot, and all the guy could do was raise his arm. No, “Wa-hoo!”, no leaping in the air, nothing even though it was the best shot he’d probably ever make. He looked as excited as if he’s just placed an order at a McDonald’s drive-thru. If even the golfers can’t be excited, maybe adding bears would be a good idea.
Golf has simple rules. It is hard to play well. Also, a great way to learn about yourself and others. After a bad round, golfers can’t wait to try it again. And, most golfers don’t mind non-golfers making fun of the sport. Non-golfers, like Wiley, just don’t get it.
They could require the players to paint themselves with bacon grease like the animal rights activist wacko did a few years ago.He did it to cover up his scent.Then went out on Kodiak Island to photograph the grizzly bears.
One of my favourite commercials involves a large tentacled beast rising from the pond and grabbing golfers. It’s so good I can’t tell you what they were selling.

Now how did they get a Wiley Bear to stay there? This must be in the farther future where barbarism has creeped back even more into every day society.

Throw a few gators in the water hazards, and toss a few vipers in the sand traps and it might be interesting.

I always thought golf was a way of culling fat executives on Sunday afternoons.

There has to be a reason why they don’t give play-by-play broadcast of golf on the radio.
