The Good Life

Kelly's father is a big fan of golf.  Actually he's fanatic about the game.

Here's a thought - I'd go so far as to suggest that a drug addict has a better chance of making it through detoxification than does my father-in-law successfully making his way through any period in excess of five days without visiting a golf course.  

I should also add that Kelly's dad is arguably Tiger Wood's greatest fan.  Like all Tiger disciples, I'm guessing it's been killing my father-in-law that his beloved 'Tiger' has been sidelined for the past eight months due to injury.  
But no longer.

Marking Tiger's return, his major sponsor Nike, recently launched a new ad campaign wherein many tour players revel the "good life" with no Tiger on the PGA Tour claiming a disproportionate number of tournament wins.  The ad is a parody, mocking the end of the good life many of the other PGA players enjoyed during Tiger's absence.  It's a pretty funny spot. 

I'm quite certain Kelly's father thought it was brilliant.

By the way, having lost in the second round of the Accenture match play yesterday, Nike's hope for a Tiger Woods storybook return will have to wait.  The delay is not all bad, with no competition from Tiger this weekend it looks like the good life continues just a bit longer for someone; we'll find out who on Sunday.
