Professional golfers Bubba Watson, Ben Crane, Rickie Fowler and
Hunter Mahan – otherwise known as the "Golf Boys" – are back with a new
video in an effort to raise awareness about the world's clean water
crisis.
The video, titled "2.Oh" and released online Monday, features the golfers rapping over a
booming bass about adventures on the golf course, things that rhyme with
their names and causing mayhem.
The lyrics and music were written by award-winning recording artist
Mat Kearney, while Ty Andre produced the three-minute video featuring
the golfers.
As with their first video, "Oh Oh Oh" from 2011, "2.Oh" sees a
shirtless and shoeless Watson wearing blue overalls, Fowler donning a
black leather jacket and matching leather pants, Crane in a red cycling
skinsuit and Mahan wearing as much fur and animal print as possible.
Despite the silly nature of the video, the faux boy band and PGA golfers are using proceeds from the song to benefit nonprofit organization charity:water.
The song is available on iTunes, with 100 percent of the proceeds from sales of "2.Oh" donated to the charity.
"Imagine if you had no clean water. Imagine walking 5 hours (almost
as long as it takes Ben to play a round of golf) to the nearest river to
collect water for your family – water that's not even clean. Imagine
giving that water to your kids," reads a statement on the Golf Boys' website. While this might seem unimaginable to us, it's a reality for 800
million people in developing countries. Every day, 5,000 kids die from
water-related illnesses before they reach their fifth birthday. It
doesn't have to be that way. There are simple solutions like drilled
wells, spring protections and BioSand filters that help provide clean
water to communities around the world."
