Why can’t more advertisers do this kind of thing? Crowne Plaza Hotels, host of the already played Colonial Invitational (PGA) tournament, has posted extra footage from “The Ultimate Golf Meeting,” featuring David Feherty, Dan Jenkins, Lee Trevino, Natalie Gulbis, George Lopez, and Alice Cooper (“We’re not worthy! We’re not worthy!”). The spots they’ve shown on TV are there, as well as 10 extra spots. Crowne Plaza now has more esteem in my small world because of this – maybe I’ll use them during my next vacation – multiple cruises with golf interspersed throughout…I wish. Some highlights:

“…that’s how I got the name Alice, not getting the ball there…”

“…I don’t think you should use a golf ball that will betray you…it’ll just betray you again.”

“…the Bible has 10 commandments. Golf has a 600 page book.”

Funny stuff, if you’re a golfer. Go watch it.

“Men amateurs would be better off watching them (LPGA players) for swing tips than the guys on the PGA tour. I said tips, GR, tips.”

On Fred Couples’ rare appearances: “Fred shed his second wife and has moved in with Jim Nantz. Since
apparently Jim is only doing three tournaments this year for CBS, he
and Fred want to spend as much time together as possible. The tabloid
press now refer to them as ‘Jimcup.’”

And, finally, why I can relate: “I was the kid in the back of the church who was always laughing
uncontrollably at the well-timed fart, you know? I can’t help it, it’s
in my DNA.”

More good stuff from the CBS golf commentator as he answers readers’ letters.

From Durex. You have to know what Durex makes in order to get it, but it’s a clean, creative, and funny ad. Seldom do I laugh out loud at ads.
