Title: Hotspring Commercial on the Golf Channel
Post by: Gomboman on January 11, 2008, 11:18:17 pm
I saw my first Hotspring commercial last night on the Golf Channel. It was around 7:30 PM during "Playing Lessons from the Pros". Justin Rose was the pro.

Has anyone seen it? Not sure if we have too many golf fans on this site except for Jacuzzi Jim and myself. It was very good by the way.

I haven't seen that particular one but I do however see other ones about once a week here in the STL. Them and Thermospas are the only manufacturers I've seen in my area. Oh yeah, there's also this place called Watson's that's located in the STL area that advertises all the time as well. They carry every from fireplaces to pool tables to spas. They sell Caldera, Cal, Viking and a few other small name manufacturers. Fwiw, I hate the place and that's puttin things nice.

YEah, I saw it Gombo.
There's also a place in the Midwest -- The Great Escape -- that sells Jacuzzi, Sundance and a few lower end spas that has commercials all the time.

I saw it...thier was nude women dancing around with thier privates obscured and Snoopy Dogg was drinking liquor out of a gold goblet. It showed the president of Hot springs jet and he was always smiling.  They had dvd's for sale.

Discusting! Looked more like a carnival of sin.

Thermospa has been advertising on the golf channel in between Kelly's foot in the mouth segments for a while  ;D

The Golf Channel is a great environment for a hot tub commercial.  I just didn't anyone actually watched the channel.......local advertising on the channel is also a good move, if anyone see it.

We used to sponsor a couple of golf tournaments each year and I'd get to play in them, but we haven't done one in about 4 or 5 years.  I really enjoyed golf, but I was terrible from 200 yards in.  My forte was driving the ball, so I'd get picked to be on some teams to do that.  Won the long drive contest at Shallow Creek on the #4 hole with a 393-yard shot, but I was young and full of fudd back then.  Got a crappy box of balls, some tees, and a towel.  Everbody else was winning TV's and DVD players.

I don't even know where my clubs are nowadays.

I play golf, but haven't done so since November.  Couple nice days this week in eastern PA, but was too busy with work to get out.  Being that I haven't been playing, it's not really on my mind so I haven't watched the Golf Channel in a couple months.  Do recall Thermospas commerical on there from time to time, but haven't seen any others.

FWIW, I think the Kelly Tilghman thing is overblown.  She was stupid for choosing the word she did, but people wanting her fired?  Please.

It's the only channel I watch. Yes, JJ send me the links.

I missed Kelly's bit but heard about it later. What content was it used in? Sounded strange to me.......

Nick Faldo said the only way anyone was going to beat Tiger, is if some of the young guys on the Tour tag team him.  She quickly said "You mean, lynch him in the back alley?" and chuckled.  That was it.  Tiger didn't take offense.  But I have to admit, it was a pretty stupid thing to say.  And then Al Sharpton got involved, and she was suspended for 2 weeks.  You can see it for yourself on YouTube.

Thanks IL. I'll watch it on Youtube.

Yes, the Golf Channel is a great venue for spa manufacturers. Most of the people who play golf have money except for me....

Jim - Please share.  I am a HUGE Fantasy Golf Nut and play in CDM's games every season (notice that my login ID here is also golf related.  In-The-Bunka).  I can ALWAYS use more sources of information for my fantasy golf research.

I agree it was stupid.  It was un-intentional.  I also think it is VERY stupid that ANYBODY makes a big deal about it.  Those in SUCH an uproar are mostly doing the posturing for their own benefit.  It's not like we still live in those times that anything like that has ANY racial connotations but then again, give a political opportunist an angle and they will dive for it.  I don't hear anyone standing up for Kelly when others make remarks about lesbians.

But, I did play golf yesterday with a neighbor of mine who thought Kelly should have been banned for a month.  He may have a closer perspective on the racial impacts within that community as he is a white man married to a very nice looking black lady.  They have a very nice family and live only 3 door down.
