Ryo Ishikawa is Lovin' it - Golfers & McDonald's Ads


If you're any kind of "online-golf-content-consumer" you've probably seen the Michelle Wie McDonald's Commercial. It's made the rounds... and then some.

Most viewers seem to agree with Shane Bacon, the mild-mannered and mega-talented golf writer behind Dogs That Chase Cars. Shane called it "endearing and kinda cute." And it is.

But what about Ryo? Have you seen Ishikawa Ryo's homage to the golden arches?



Ryo looks fierce in his red Yonex outfit, doesn't he? ~ And the sandwich looks somewhat different from anything at my local Mickey-D's. Lettuce, Egg... mystery meat. Not too different I guess.

I wonder if Ryo had one of those before he scored his 58?

  1. My brother is teaching english in Japan. He can't seem to get enough of the shrimp wraps and shrimp burgers.

  2. Judging by their weight neither Ryo Ishikawa or Michelle Wie are consuming much of the products they're endorsing. ;)

  3. A burger every now and then won't make you fat if you are getting plenty of exercise and otherwise eating well. Nothing wrong with enjoying a little comfort food every now and again. The problems start when folks eat beyond their caloric output 10x a week.

    I prefer not to eat heavy foods like that before golf, because it can be defocusing as the body works to digest the lump of food it has been given.

    But on a Sunday afternoon when nothing else is going on, it's okay to live a little.

  7. Hi, I'm live in Tokyo.
    I can translate for you friends...

    ---It looks Ryo is very concentrate on the green....but in his mind.....
    Ryo: "Aaaaah, I want to eat Teriyaki (Burger)!"
    Naration: New japanese tast Teritama burger (Teriyaki burger with fried egg)
    Ryo: "I want to bite it!"

    I prefer this new ads by Panasonic for 3D TV.

    This golf course is famous for one of the best tricky and hard green... (as Rory said the same thing in his interview few days ago because he participate to this match once in the same golf course.) This year they changed the layour more tricky....) so everybody said that you need experience for years to win. He actually was only score -1 and T18th for the final day morning, but,,,, you know after that!

  10. Yes, I hear the new dog burgers are a sensation in both Japan and Korea... Ryo however looks as if he has just eaten one and is keen to take a huge dump!
