I wonder what the producers choose by on that show. Seems like a lot of people who've made it onto that show aren't much better than the best player at your home course (of course some have been), so I'd assume once they verify you've got a legit handicap at least near scratch, they'd choose players like other reality shows: hot girls, people who will cause a ruckus and create tension or are just weird and entertaining. I like the advice of instituting some weird catch phrase ("PURE!") you say just before you swing, or something else eccentric and slightly ridiculous like that.

First - congrats. Second - remember, this is entertainment not golf. You can't be anyone but yourself (and I assume you can't fake being a hot chick) so just know that you made it into a pretty selective group of people (the term selective may speak for itself). Seriously, take advantage of a chance to have a lot of fun - there is no downside here.

    • Day 134 (26 Apr 24) - played Minnesott today, worked with the mid-irons and approaches (especially the 7i).  Scoring was a little higher, but I was focused on making the needed adjustments to the swing to achieve desired distances.  
    • I honestly believe if they play longer tees by 300-400 yards, closer to or over 7,000 yards, more rough, tougher greens, women's golf will become much more gripping.  BTW, if it weren't for Scottie killing it right now, men's golf isn't exactly compelling.
    • Day 542, April 26, 2024 A lesson no-show, no-called (he had the wrong time even though the last text was confirming the time… 😛), so I used 45 minutes or so of that time to get some good work in.
    • Yeah, that. It stands out… because it's so rare. And interest in Caitlin Clark will likely result in a very small bump to the WNBA or something… and then it will go back down to very low viewership numbers. Like it's always had. A small portion, yep. It doesn't help that she lost, either. Girls often don't even want to watch women playing sports. My daughter golfs… I watch more LPGA Tour golf than she does, and it's not even close. I watch more LPGA Tour golf than PGA Tour golf, even. She watches very little of either. It's just the way it is. Yes, it's a bit of a vicious cycle, but… how do you break it? If you invest a ton of money into broadcasting an LPGA Tour event, the same coverage you'd spend on a men's event… you'll lose a ton of money. It'd take decades to build up the interest. Even with interest in the PGA Tour declining.
