Random musings on CA commercial

I'm sitting here preparing FedEx shipping documents for a few TartanGolfGrips.com orders that are shipping out today, and watching the Golf Channel's coverage of the Accenture Match Play Tournament....

Those CA commercials came on where Retief Goosen and David Howell are shown driving a triplex mower or raking a bunker, respectively, and the older Scottish greens superintendent comes running out at them and exasperatedly says something to the effect of "You don't have to do THAT, THAT'S Sean's job!", and the camera pans towards "Sean" for an inordinately long period of time...leering....leaning on the handle of a sand-trap rake...shifting from one foot to the other...gaze unwavering...goofy grin on his face......gripping the handle of the rake and the towel suggestively, opening and closing his grip on them like Sergio Garcia did to his clubs in his heyday....almost menacingly....


Does anyone ELSE out there find "Sean" kinda SPOOKY looking??? It's just the way that "Sean" looks at Retief andDavid that just CREEPS me out...I THINK it's supposed to be a long, ADMIRING look from their talent and skill on the golf course, but the timing, actions and look on the actor's face makes it looks more like an axe-murderer's psychotic gaze instead....or is it something else altogether??? (Like, is "Sean" wired for DC or something???)

Hmmmmmmm.....thoughts, anybody???

Moments after I read this post, I saw the commercial for the first time. (I've been bloop blooping through commercials but am watching live at the moment.)

I actually think the actor does a good job. Looks like he didn't want to say anything about it and was nervous but at the same time admiring. But did he have to look so greasy? Maybe that's why he creeps you out.
