Rickie Fowler Plays Motocross Golf

To celebrate being named 2010 PGA rookie of the year, PUMA decided to help Rickie Fowler finally combine his two passions in life: golf and motocross. The result?

An awesome day on the course, some amazing shots and one exhausted caddy. Special thanks to Eagle Creek Golf Course in Naples for letting Rickie hit the course. He shot a 70 by the way.

I'm not a huge golf fan, but that was awesome. I'll have to start following Fowler this year. Also, the website looks great. It's easy to find what I want.

I believe this commercial was very irresponsible. I've seen enough greens torn up by motorcycles, I don't think you need to encourage this behavior.

As a golf course superintendent I do not think this commercial was appropriate. I have experienced damage to our greens from dirt bikes and it is something I never want to see again. I admire Rickie Fowlers golfing skills, but a better choice for a commercial is needed.

At least every other year, the greens on one of our courses are damaged by vandals on dirt bikes. I'm surprised Ricky Fowler would approve of this...we'll think twice about carrying Puma in our Golf Shops.

My respect for PUMA and Ricky Fowler were greatly deminished by this idiotic commercial. We have enough trouble keeping bikes and four wheelers off of our greens as it is, a commercial glamorizing this behavior is unacceptable.

That was pretty cool! Nothing Rickie does surprises me, though. Such a bright future he has to wear Puma shades.

Incredibly distasteful and disrespectful.. you have no idea what you have started..this will give every motocross rider the idea that they can use our golf courses, bunkers and greens as a new course... When they do, I will send you the bill for the reconstruction of our golf course. PULL THE AD. If you need to sell Ricky's ability as a motocross rider, then do it on a motocross course... leave the golf course to the golfers.

I thought this was great! I'm an old injured moto-cross racer and now turned golfer for four years. It's pretty sad all the negative responses. It's a joke, have a sense of humor! If you really want a reason to leave a negative response goggle: Brian Deegan golf motocross then weep, cheers.....

Aweswome commercial!! So and friend and I were having a dispute about this. How much of this commercial is real? And if it's real, how many takes did it take to get it right? Tried to find the making of the commercial, but didn't have any luck.

Not many young people become too interested in golf or watching a pro. Unless you're Ricky Fowler with a motocross background and a ridiculous style that breaks the mold. This disrespectful to a course, maybe, BUT it was done with PERMISSION!!! And younger interest in the sport. YES!!! Don't knock this.

Love that Puma is finally in golf. For us younger players that don't want to dress like some baby boomer. A little disappointed on the speed to market on bags, balls, etc. Come on guys have a complete line ready before you sponsor a pro. Want to flip over gear but hate doing it piece mail

As far as this Ricky add. IT ROCKS! And for all you people that can't accept advertising for what it is - get real. You don't see people doing controlled power slides on the highway. It's a commercial. Like all TV ads it's to capture you attention and inspire. Sometimes they are not meant to be real to life. So the next time any of you negative people see a hamster driving a car and singing it's not real. So don't call PETA.

Haters and whiners should be ashamed of themselves. Great commercial for the new rookie of the year, keep up the fresh media and best wishes to Riicky this year. It takes dedication and discipline to ride a dirt bike like that and you old duffers that only golf have no idea. MX keeps our family in shape to golf! Kudos to PUMA for taking a risk, you elitests who are offended need to get over themselves and just have a laugh. I will continue to golf in PUMA gear every chance that I am not supporting our son at the race track!
