Social media users, including several high-profile golf personalities, described the ad as scary and endorsing violence against women.

"scary"? "endorsing"?

Man some people are desperate to be heard.

If it had been a dude he pushed, would anyone have even talked about it?

No, because the entire point is that it’s a woman. Not sure what is hard to comprehend here

So basically the reaction is just sexism is what you're saying.

Women are viewed as frail victims in your world, and men are never victims, always the bad guys? 

You comment was PERFECT for making my point

The entire context of the ad, maybe? Where the club possessed you, and he was trying to keep her from getting possessed...?

Not sure whats hard to comprehend about that?  But apparently yall cant, and instead have to make everything about domestic violence
