Decided it was time to test another one of GMC's imaginative uses ads. This time we did notice a couple of questionable things.

1. As pointed out by my wife ( the golfer in the family) there is no women in the ad. Anyone know why ? And are you brave enough to post the answer ?

2. Were do you pack 8 guys and 8 sets of clubs ? GMC did address this by only having 3 sets of clubs, the rest I assume are rentals.

I think there are women in that pic--just not the normal model variety

My guess is, they didn't want to be seen with guys wearing clothes like that.

I think hes talking about the drawing, not the photo.
The photo is a modern picture, and I'm guessing it's of him and his family...

Yes, the photo was taken this weekend - just gave it a 70's look.

So far, Bill seems to have the best resin for the ask of women in GMC's ad.
