The ad, part of a multimillion campaign from Los Angeles-based The Phelps Group, is called 'Why do I love golf?' The ad shows a golfer using the range-finder to help him decide which club to use. The golfer notes that the device also is used by pro golfers during practice. The campaign includes print ads in national and regional golf publications. The agency has created another TV commercial for Bushnell's rangefinder for hunters, which began running on network television last week.--Angela Dawson++++++Client: Hamm's Brewing Co.,Milwaukee, Wis.

Donaghue and Co., San FranciscoArt Director/Copywriter: John DonaghueProducer: Rob Lazarus Director: Tom Wright, Harvest Films, San FranciscoIn its first national TV spot, the National Mushroom Council uses an offbeat game show setting to make its point. A hapless contestant is in the final round when a game show host asks him to single out one food that goes perfectly with fresh mushrooms. The choices are so numerous that the player becomes frozen with indecision. The tagline, 'The perfect partner,' seeks to position mushrooms as being so versatile that they taste good with an enormous array of foods. Earlier in his career,creative director John Donaghue worked on the Beef Council account at Ketchum Advertising's San Francisco office. Rather than using the customary close-up shots of food, he opted for wacky humor to grab viewers' attention, he said. The commercial will break on cable TV in early June.The National Mushroom Council represents mushroom growers throughoutthe country.--Joan VoightCopyright ASM Communications, Inc.
