Making of the Golf Boys pt. 2

While the first “Making Of” video featured Rickie Fowler, Ben Crane, Bubba Watson, and Hunter Mahan dancing their way to the top, the second shows off the Boys’ vocal abilities.

Their singing skills are quite like their dancing, a little rough around the edges but full of personality.

In the video, Crane claims that singing is a  “pitch and tone thing” and that being in a boy band is what he was bred for.

Also in the video Mahan stated that “I have been singing since I can remember”.

Mahan was very confident in his vocal talent, and even went about calling the lyrics “legendary”.

Fowler said in the video that singing “has been nothing I have to work at…I just wake up and I’m great. It’s as easy as that.”

Watson stated in the video “I have always wanted to be a dancer. And then singing was the easy part.”

While each of the Golf Boys thought they had the best vocal talent, it is obvious they all just were their to have some fun.

The music video itself is not just for fun. Farmers Insurance is donating $1,000 per 100,000 views on the Golf Boys music video for “Oh Oh Oh”.

You can watch the music video on YouTube or download the song off ITunes.

Making of the Golf Boys pt. 1

The “Making Of” videos of the Golf Boys’ hit song “Oh Oh Oh” may be just as comical and entertaining as the music video itself.

Rickie Fowler, Ben Crane, Bubba Watson, and Hunter Mahan are all still dressed as their rock star persona while learning the moves to their song hit song

In addition to the four golfers, they are joined by an over-the-top choreographer that seems to have key phrases for all of the boys’ new moves.

While the video starts off slow, the more you get into it the funnier it gets.

Some of the phrases the choreographer comes up with are “stick, stick, bounce bounce stick” and “Ha-llo? Ascuse me? We are closed for business”. Yes, in the choreographers eyes those are ways to describe the dance moves.

When the choreographer calls out Crane on his “dragon” moves and tells him to “pop”, his band mates struggle with not laughing and hold back their smiles.

Crane was not the only one who was called out. During the shooting of the video, Fowler always seemed to be a second or two late with his “I have power so show it” opening move.

Also, Fowler claimed in the video that the song will “top the charts” and Watson claimed that “everybody is inside the box” and that their “minds are outside the box”.

If you agree with the two Golf Boys members, feel free to watch the music video on YouTube or download the song from Itunes.

For every 100,000 views the song gets on You Tube, Farmers Insurance will donate $1,000 to charity.

While Timberlake does not play in the actual event, he does play in the Pro-Am tournament that is played the day before the actual event starts.

Timberlake also throws a concert event the Saturday evening of the tournament. This year, it will be on October 1.

This concert event will be co-hosted by comedian Wayne Brady with performances by recording artists Vanilla Ice, The Commodores and Earth, Wind & Fire, to name a few.

Last years event was sold out, and included performances by many big-name celebrity artists. Last years lineup included Timberlake himself, Christina Aguilera, Diddy-Dirty-Money, Selena Gomez & The Scene, Salt-N-Pepa, Lady Antebellum, FreeSol, T-Pain and Elton John.

Needless to say, Timberlake knows how to get together some of his closest friends and throw a party that would make anyone jealous.

PGA players make Atlanta their course

What is better than watching Rickie Fowler play golf? Watching Rickie Fowler and his roommate 24-year-old Cameron Tringale play a golf version of HORSE called PAR.

The two PGA professionals made a staggering wager; the loser must do laundry and dishes for a month. With the city of Atlanta as their course they play around monuments that are well known to the city.

Spectators stopped on the streets to watch Fowler and Tringale shoot over large building and into parks.

The two didn’t seem fazed by the commotion of the city going on around them and seemed to have a great time.

To see the spectacular shots and to find out who won, watch the video below.

Puma mixes golf and motocross together

Motocross and golfing are two totally separate sports, but one pro golfer on the PGA Tour is able to mix the two sports into one.

In this jaw dropping commercial made by Puma, they start off by showing part of a golf course. Then you start to slowly hear the revving of the motocross bike’s engine.

Then, after a series of different shots and tricks on the bike, the golf ball ends up rolling into the hole. The mysterious driver of the bike takes off his helmet, but who could it be?

Watch the commercial and find out.

Yup, Rickie Fowler was dressed as the mysterious rider. 22–year-old Fowler grew up with motocross and spent most of his childhood being a motocross rider.

Thank goodness for us golf fans that at the age of 14 he traded his bike for a golf cart and set of clubs!

Hunter V. Punter

30-year-old Hunter Mahan has taken on many competitors before, but none like this. To promote a new show on the Golf Channel called “Playing Lessons”, Mahan took on Mike Saxon, who was the punter for the Dallas Cowboys for eight years and played in Super Bowl XXVII.

The two took the field at the Dallas Cowboys Stadium to complete a series of challenges brought forth by host David Feherty. These challenges involved both their golfing and punting skills.

The first task was for Saxon to punt the ball from the 40-yard line and have Mahan hit the ball from there as well, and the winner is whomever gets their ball closest to the goal line without it going in the end-zone.

Mahan won this challenge twice then decided to showoff and punt the football, and surprisingly enough, Mahan got it within the one-yard line.

The second task was to try to kick or hit their ball into the cross bar within 30 seconds. Saxon got very close, and hit the goal post once. However, Mahan hit his first two golf balls into the goal post. Mahan wins again.

The third task was trying to punt or chip their ball into a plastic container. The playing field was made even by making Mahan’s container smaller for his golf ball. Nobody could seem to win this one, and former golfer Feherty thought he could out-smart everyone.

Feherty passed the microphone over to Mahan and grabbed his club and asked an assistant to pass him a ball. One was passed to him, and he juggled the ball down 10 yards, and he stated,

                “Nobody said you couldn’t do this!”

After missing the container from less than a yard away, Feherty just looked down at the ground, while Mahan still held his microphone and said, “Oh my word!”

The last challenge was for Mahan to his a football into his container using a golf club, while Saxon’s was to hit a golf ball into the container with his foot. Neither could finish this part of the challenge.

While no clear winner was presented, the entire video was fun to watch for both golfers and football fans. Feherty added comedic relief to the ad throughout the deemed “Hunter v. Punter” challenge. Here is a video of the challenge.

The show “Playing Lessons” premiers on Golf Channel on Sept. 13. The four-part series are half an hour in length, and in each of the four episodes a different NFL player will be playing a round of golf with Brandel Chamblee, an analyst for the Golf Channel.

Golf Boys shoot music video for hit song

Golfing for young pro golfers isn’t just about being serious and focusing on the sport, they like to have fun too.

Nobody shows this more than 35-year-old Ben Crane. He isn’t the youngest golfer on the PGA Tour, but he knows how to bring some of the best up-and-coming young golfers together for a great, and hilarious, cause.

Crane, Rickie Fowler, Bubba Watson, and Hunter Mahan make up the PGA Tour’s “exclusive” boy band, the Golf Boys.

The Golf Boys released their first song titled “Oh Oh Oh” on ITunes on June 7 and debuted their music video for the song on YouTube on June 13.

Here is the music video for the Golf Boys’ debut song.

While watching the video, many things are made obvious. First, you realize that these guys are golfers and not musicians. Now with that said, they all do have some rhythm with their dances steps and singing, which is more like rapping.

Crane in his red jump suit seemed to be the most comfortable in the video and song. That should be no surprise to people because he has made videos like these before, showing that you can have a personality and be funny while also having a serious golf career. To view Crane’s other video’s, click here. 

Fowler is one of the reasons why this video is so lovable. Not only does he have a Justin Bieber-esque look to him, but his awkward dancing should make anyone giggle. At one point (time 1:16 on the music video) his pants are ripped, and no teenage girl is going to argue why they didn’t get him another pair of tight, black pleather pants for him.

Second to Crane, Mahan seemed to be the most comfortable, who looked like he was just along for the ride and out to have some fun at the golf course.  A mix between his clear sunglasses and fur jacket made his outfit ridiculously perfect for him and the song.

And last, but not least, we have Watson. Nothing is funnier than seeing him in his too short overalls that were practically made for him. Watson’s key phrases in the song along with his Southern accent actually make this song while his dancing aimlessly in the middle of circle seems to fit him and personality perfectly.

The song itself is catchy and fun and it makes you want to smile and laugh. The players look like they are all having fun, which makes this entire music video worthwhile. The nice thing about this video is that Farmers Insurance is donating $1,000 per 100,000 views to charities that both Farmers Insurance and Crane support.

Right now, they have over 2.5 million views on YouTube, which has given $25,000 to charities.
