The other day, PGA Tour Pro Bubba Watson tweeted about the rain delay at the Bob Hope Classic:*
Perfect. A chance to plug our new web series. Here goes…

We’re glad Bubba watched it, but his reaction caught us off-guard:

Harsh. Who spells like that? And, really, why the need to yell? Come on, Bubba, the worst thing you’ve ever seem? Please.
So, what was it that bothered Bubba about it so much? We asked and he answered:
Okay then. Gotcha. It’s not for everyone. We can certainly deal with that.
A couple hours later, however, our dear Watson posted this, a video where he recreates a scene from “Tin Cup.” Remember “Tin Cup?” You know, the one from 1996, with Kevin Costner? The one with all the cussing, gambling, and sex in it? Yep, that one.
So, Bubba didn’t like Of Course. That’s cool. We wish him well after his impressive finish at the Bob Hope Classic.
But lots of people have loved it, including Golf.com’s David Dusek, Deadspin’s A.J. Daulerio, and SportsPickle, and we think you will too. Check it out, we’d love to hear what you think!

Sometimes we forget what the word TARGETED really means in marketing, and it’s nice to see you highlight why we shouldn’t try to please everyone all the time. I for one, even being out of the target demographic perhaps, am looking forward to Of Course Golf. It looks frickin’ hilarious, though my church resides somewhere between Quest Field and the golf course, and maybe that’s why.

You are SO not out of our demographic. Tall chicks will LOVE this show. Don’t kid yourself.
