Oh Yes! Dear God Yes!

It’s not often that we give credit where credit is due. You know, because everyone who doesn’t work for this site is so unoriginal and boring.  But Slate V, whatever that is, we salute you.  This video features a fairly accurate depiction of what golf would be like with basketball announcers.  Also known as, what golf would be like without the silver spoon stuck up its ass.  In a word, exciting. 

I’ve always sort of wondered why golf needs everyone to be so quiet all the time.  Do you really need absolute silence to hit a stationary ball?  The PGA will tell you that you do, and then in the same breath tell you that their players are incredible athletes.  I don’t think those two ideas go together.  Perform with the crowd with or against you like other sports if you want to prove how amazing you are. 

Hopefully you remember the PGA’s ad campaign from a few years ago when their slogan was ‘These Guys Are Good’.  They would show tour players in other sports using golf shots, like kicking a field goal or setting up an alley-oop, except actually chipping a golf ball.  Inevitably, the golfers would succeed and the slogan would come up.  If those commercials were more realistic, time would’ve expired while they backed off their ball and waited for the crowds to settle down.  And, you know, if we’re being real, I’m pretty sure hitting a golf ball through the uprights doesn’t get you any points in football.  But it would get you murdered in Philadelphia. 

Anyway, good video Slate V.  Though adding an excited Gus Johnson to anything makes it way better.  I should’ve probably added more of him to this post.
