First off, I’m not a golfing fan. My dad always tried to get me to golf, even making me a set of pint-sized clubs when I was a wee wordsmith. Was bored, bored, bored. Bored playing it; bored watching it.
Haven’t followed Tiger Woods’ career, either. Only know about him because people make such a big deal about him. Can’t escape news.
Don’t really care about his personal life, either; only reason I’m doing this post is because it’s news, it’s quick and easy, and I’m bored. And when I’m bored, I think of golf.
I thought I’d post some of his memorable commercials I’ve found interesting and likable.
My favorite:
This is the kind of talent I love watching. Plus it’s done in under 30 seconds rather than 3 hours of watching someone chase a ball for 18 holes while the grass grows.
Oh, wow….we’re all lion cheetahs, now:
Perhaps John Edwards and Jesse James can star in a new remake version?
“I’m Lion Woods….I’m Cheetah Woods”
And the new one; a little creepy but interesting and perhaps controversial:
Wow. Makes me want to go out and buy some Nikes!
Weird commercial. Seems to be a Nike ad to promote Tiger to keep him marketable to promoting Nike.
A former fetus, the “wordsmith from nantucket” was born in Phoenix, Arizona in 1968. Adopted at birth, wordsmith grew up a military brat. He achieved his B.A. in English from the University of California, Los Angeles (graduating in the top 97% of his class), where he also competed rings for the UCLA mens gymnastics team. The events of 9/11 woke him from his political slumber and malaise. Currently a personal trainer and gymnastics coach.
The wordsmith has never been to Nantucket.
