A friend said he saw the finished commercial on Fox News. It is also one of two new commercials on the Accenture Web site.

For those who were there (or just interested) here it is: Tiger at Bandon Dunes. The hole he is on is number 16 but in real life there is no tree, fence or talking sheep.

Update: Since Accenture seems to be distancing themselves from Tiger, the link to the ad page is broken.

A friend of my mother loaned her a copy of this book. I picked it up and read a few pages and immediately ordered it.  I’m only about half way through it but it is definitely helping. Not with my game apparently, since I shot the worst round I can remember on Tuesday, but it has helped me realize that as a high handicap hacker, I am expected to miss a few shots (quite a few). So even shooting some 25 shots worse than my personal best, I did not vow to quit.

However, not sure I’m ready to buy into Bob Rotella’s “trust your swing” idea. My swing is definitely not trustworthy.
