Barry Rhodes 'Stars' in TV Ad

Several weeks ago I was approached by a eminent US advertising agency who asked if I would mind if they used short clips from my YouTube videos on the Rules of Golf. They explained that they were creating a TV advertisement for Golfnow.com, the largest online tee-time retailer in the United States, owned and operated by Golf Channel of Orlando, Florida. Of course, I was intrigued as to the context in which they wanted to use my low-cost, self-produced videos, but was happy to obtain any additional exposure that may result from the TV ads (and a nominal license fee helped me make-up my mind!). I think that the resulting ad will amuse you. I understand that it is already being aired to TV audiences in both the Atlanta and San Diego areas. Be patient, it takes a couple of seconds to start.



If you haven’t seen the original videos from which these ad clips were taken, each of which runs between 3 1/2 and 5 minutes, they can be viewed by clicking on these links;

The Rules of Golf aren’t really hard, and I hope that by following my blog you can get a better understanding that will help you enjoy your game more.

Good golfing,

Barry Rhodes
