Anyone going to watch this show tonight? I watched it last year (couples) and liked it so i'll give this one a go. I don't think i'll DVR it, maybe watch it On Demand.

The one girl looks hot, and it seems she has some game.

I plan to watch it and I have actually played the course that's hosting it, Mill River. Played it a few years ago. From what I remember it was a nice tree lined course with some interesting holes. Mind you there are a couple of other courses out there that would have been better to see them play, like Crowbush Cove. The wind there would have really tested their skills.

I hope it is the best one yet as they claim. Should be interesting to see who they picked to host this one. Seems as though they have yet to find the right pair.

Been pumped for this. I live in New Brunswick, just a stones throw away from the Island. I haven't played at that course but have played a few in PEI.

Beautiful place.

With 3 hockey games, 24 and Heroes on tonight, I think this will be relegated to the PVR to watch tomorrow. I have never seen an episode of BB so I have no idea what to expect.

Anyone know when they would have taped this?

elementz, what part of NB are you from? Im north, near bathurst. Home course is Gowan Brae.

I played the course their playing late in the season last year. It is a wonderful course, but I think Brunell river, Dundarave, and especially crowbush, are much better courses. Rated some of the best in the world actually. The choice of course actually really suprised me.

My girlies parents live in PEI, so I get out there quite often. Will be playing Crowbush again during the May long weekend If I can get a Tee Time. And spending 9 days there in July when her sister is home. And sis's husband golfs, and he and I get along really well, so I imagine the sisters will have lots of alone time to catch up :p More than they'll want.

Will definately be watching though!

My mom's obsession with 'Dancing with the Stars' has thwarted my plans to watch the premiere. Luckily I see that they will be showing it again at 11 CST.

I don't know too much about the contestants yet but I'm glad the dude that went home tonight was the one. He seemed like an arrogant ass.

Yep, Mr. "It would have been 415 if the wind wasn't in my face"...couldn't hit an iron. Terrible swing to boot, dipped down at least 6 to 8 inches on the downswing.

The girls were gorgeous!

The Irish one wasnt the best looking of the bunch, but something about her is extremely sexxxxxxxxxxxy. Im Irish by ancestory (I have the red hair, but my grandparents have the accent), and i never knew Irish women were sexy before tonight.

Maybe its just her though. She's pretty funny.

I'm going to have to disagree with you here and say that Brian is by FAR the most arrogant contestant there. Horribly annoying. He hits a great approach in that challenge and was mad at the wind, shaking his head and throwing up grass etc... It was just UGH! I wanted to drop kick him.

Blair, Nicole and Kim are pretty cute with Gerina taking home the Big Break Mammaries award.

The girls were gorgeous!

Then you'll be happy to know that I'll be interviewing her every week for my

blog like I have done in the past with many of the Big Breakers. Her interview will be up tomorrow, along with Derek, William, Gerina, Blair and hopefully Brian. Those are my 6 picks for this season. I am also going to have Michael Michaelides from BB X on the blog to provide some commentary from a past BB'er. Hope you'll check them out and let me know what you think. Gayle

Yeah, I wanted Robert gone. He tried to force every comment, and none of them were clever or funny. I prefer finesse, or legitimate jerkitude.

Brian looks like the real deal there. You never wants the morons eliminated pronto. Just think how the Kaanapali themes would have suffered minus Lori, or Michigan if Dave had been an early evictee. Top priority on every Big Break is the cute women need to advance. I'm a Nicole fan in the early going. Next category is stickler types need to hang around and provide subplots, then get ousted when it hurts. Brian demonstrated real potential by referring to himself in the third person and tossing the grass after a successful shot. His comment in the elimination; "Is he going to use his putter again?" was sharp and well executed for an aspiring self-centered disruptor. Overall, not a bad opener. But the format didn't make perfect sense. Missing a 3 foot putt and failing to accomplish the circle from 120 yards are hardly equivalent in terms of odds. Yet the failed contestants ended up in the same place. A good guess is Big Break producers wanted an introductory gimmick and the walk to the 3 foot putt provided enough time for some bio. But they couldn't be sure if anyone would miss the 3 footer, let alone several, so they set up the auxiliary elimination challenge.

    • Thanks for the feedback. @StuM, we are a "club without real estate" so no facilities or pro. We have a membership of around 185 players and we only play together as a group at our tournaments, which are held at public access courses. A group of us setup the tournaments, collect the money and dole out the prizes.
    • In general, granting free relief anywhere on the course isn't recommended.  Similarly, when marking GUR, the VSGA and MAPGA generally don't mark areas that are well away from the intended playing lines, no matter how poor the conditions.  If you hit it far enough offline, you don't necessarily deserve free relief.  And you don't have to damage clubs, take unplayable relief, take the stroke, and drop the ball in a better spot.
    • If it's not broken don't fix it. If you want to add grooves to it just because of looks that's your choice of course. Grooves are cut into putter faces to reduce skid, the roll faced putter is designed to do the same thing. I'm no expert but it seems counter productive to add grooves to the roll face. Maybe you can have it sand-blasted or something to clean up the face. Take a look at Tigers putter, its beat to hell but he still uses it.     
    • I get trying to limit relief to the fairway, but how many roots do you typically find in the fairway? Our local rule allows for relief from roots & rocks anywhere on the course (that is in play). My home course has quite a few 100 year old oaks that separate the fairways. Lift and move the ball no closer to the hole. None of us want to damage clubs.
    • Hello, I've been playing a Teardrop td17 F.C. putter for many years and love it. It still putts and feels as good or  better than any of the new putters I've tried and it's in excellent condition except the face has dings in it ever since I bought it used that kind of bother me. I was just wondering if it's possible to have some really shallow horizontal grooves milled into the face on a "roll face" putter. I think I would rather spend some money on it instead of trying to get used to a new putter.  Thanks
