All you men with daughters that think this is nothing or a silly skit, just curious what you would think if that was your daughter and it happened in real life?

Ask the OP… who stated in the topic he thought it was great.


I stand behind it. Callaway certainly over-reacted to the panicans. This ad would have received so much attention due to the over-reaction.

Women everywhere would be trying to touch another man's driver. She did, got grounded, and loved it!!

It's a terrible ad, the guy just comes across as a huge jerk. They could have done something more funny and still done bro humor

Rergardless, Callaway is cucking out way too hard, it's pathetic how much they are groveling.

agree with Sallly

the ad is stupid




men should NEVER
hit women
push women
slap women
etc




real men take care of women and protect them

If you’re the guy who thinks this was a great ad, you’re the sort who gives golfers a bad name.

The backlash is dumb, but the ad honestly might be even worse.

A truly stupid decision that I have no idea how it got pushed through. Feel like there had to be some adult in the room telling them the idea was moronic.

I agree bad optics.

Never show violence towards a woman. Sends the wrong message.

Now it it was some average build guy pushing some big burly guy like a DT, to the ground that would work and be funny.

It not being a pussy. Be a gentleman.

There was violence against woman in commercials back in the 60’s and 70’s and nobody gave a shiitt. They recognized it for what it was, sarcasm & comedy. Those days are gone, everyone is offended today.

The most offensive part of the ad is the fact that it was clearly meant to be funny and failed miserably at that.

Too me the advertisement makes the country club types look like the snobs many are, that think their poop does not stink and better than everyone else.

If that was actually a real ad, the ad creator should probably find a different job. That was pretty bad. Regardless of what you think about a guy showing a woman to the ground that was going to touch a golf club, the ad is just dumb.

But then again, people are talking about it. So maybe the whole thing was just a brilliant way to get people to talk about Callaway drivers.
