OC Golf Course

The golf channel is playing an infomercial about some driver while I'm writing to you.  These infomercials are quite annoying sometimes (especially after the fourth time watching it) but you keep seeing them them pop up constantly.

I remember asking my wife numerous times why people fall for these types of commercials but these commercials must work because there are new ones that come on air almost every day.

The hammer it's called.  It lets you hammer the ball so you can hit it 275 yards instead of 225 yards.  That's 50 yards added to your tee shot!  It sure looks weird but if you can hit it far, who cares?  It shows golfers after golfers hitting the ball and then telling you how much they love this club and how good that golf shot was.

Then they talk about the geometry and the technology of the golf club, followed by more testimonials.  At the end, they will tell you that for a limited time, you can buy the golf club for 4 payments of $49.99 instead of 5 payments.  Oh here's another incentive - buy it now and you get a free hammer 3-wood with a "five steps to a longer drives" book with your purchase!

After 30 minutes of this, you will buy it too!
