Unlike myself, my wife will happily spend all day watching golf on the television. Today, Sky is broadcasting 8 hours-worth of the PGA Championship from Georgia - and my wife is more than happy.
On today's broadcast, I was intrigued to witness the golf course's car park bursting with pristine silver Mercedes 'R350 4Matic's' - which were being used to ferry all the competitors to the course.
Now, as a card-carrying member of the Chartered Institute of Marketing, I am surprised, given several days of live broadcasting by Sky on this event, that Mercedes UK do not have a presence on Sky - given the obvious product promotion by Mercedes USA.
There's plenty of advertisements for everything else under the Sun - including Honda - but not one advertisement for Mercedes (even on yesterday's broadcast).
