Freshen Your Remote Batteries: Rory’s Omega Ad May Run Another Six Months

Even though every golf fan has grown accustomed to leaping for their remote when Omega’s grating “Hall of Fame” ad relentlessly surfaces, it seems the Caddyshack gopher emerged from his hole to see his shadow.

You know what that means? We’ll have another six months of the Guantanamo-ready piece even though it had grown insufferable within days of its debut.

But as Golf News Net notes, if history is any gauge, we'll have another six months to detect some sort of hidden genius behind the campaign since Omega only does one golf ad a year.

Either way, please, please make sure you have fresh batteries all so you never experience the hitting the mute button only to find your remote has lost all juice from repeated MUTE use.

The problem is that the watchmaker only seems to make one ad each year, typically making a big splash associated with the PGA Championship. As a partner of the PGA of America, Omega gets a ton of commercial time, which leads to almost immediate ad fatigue. There’s only so many times someone can hear “Hall of fame!” screeched before you hit the Mute button, or, as with the Sergio Garcia ad the year prior, see a watch gear move quickly in sequence with the Spaniard’s swing before you wish for a digital watch more than anything.
