Do Ads Have to be Everywhere?


Can't any activity be free of advertising anymore? The latest encroachment hit me Sunday while playing golf. I regularly use a cart because of bad feet and love the GPS units when they're available to give precise distance to the flag and hazards. I played Highland Meadows in Windsor and after driving and stopping to hit every shot, it didn't show the yardage, but was displaying an advertisement for some local outfit. I had to hit the "Show yardage" button on the display everytime in order to get rid of the ad.

I made a pact with myself that I would never do business with any company that interferes with the enjoyment of my round of golf. Take that!
