It's my dirty little secret... I watch a reality TV show. I know it isn't that great a show, but I still have to watch them.

Anyone else?

Boy, a few of them are hot However, a few of them really stink at golf from what I've seen so far I'll watch it, but I've found the series to be getting pretty old over the last few seasons of it. Hope this one turns out better.

I hope Andrew McGee ends up being better than that tool they had on the BB Mesquite. At least he knows the game, but everything seems forced with him, even when he's on The Approach.

I watched and it reminded me of cats in a room with only 1 bowl of tuna.

P.S. Has anyone took 5 strokes to get up and down from 50 yards and... be a 5 handicap or less?

I'm not trying to sound sexist here, but I'm not a fan of the new season. I don't see the purpose of having an all women show. For the most part, golf is a male dominated sport. The problem I think there will be with the women is that it's going to be more drama and "he said-she said" nonsense and not enough competition. Plus I liked the idea of having male/female teams on the Reunion. Thought it brought a new element into it.

Well, c'mon, it's not like women don't have a Tour of their own or anything... but yeah, it's for ratings. Men watch the Golf Channel and men like to look at cute or hot babes playing golf. The cattiness is a valuable "perk" of having all women.

But c'mon, they can golf... it's not like just because they're female they shouldn't be playing golf.

I don't know. It fits within the "no metal spikes" policy.

The only real harm might be from pesticides/fertilizers.

Andrew will have to be better than that other guy... he was terrible. Stina should be pretty good too, and not too bad to look at.

P.S. Has anyone took 5 strokes to get up and down from 50 yards and... be a 5 handicap or less?

ALRIGHT... I confess... I have taken 5 strokes to get down from 50 before, but not in a long time. Her shots didn't even look like good misses. I guess time will tell if she has any game. It is funny that she's not in the first elimination though.

One of the guys did this in another season I think.

I find when there's a bunch of women on there it's more interesting, because some of them are cute.

In fact that's why I quickly lost interest in the previous one, because it was all guys.

I confess that I watch "Big Break." I have even enjoyed some of the shows and find that
even the contrived moments are laughable.

This one should be interesting.

Did I hear right that the winner gets a one year exemption on the LPGA?

That guy in season 1 or 2 went barefoot till he stepped on something and hurt his foot, barefoot is silly, Jim Mcmahon plays barefoot.

I tell ya though, that fat woman pisses me off, she is so jealous she is the big cayoga bear.

I think it was a one year exemption on the Futures Tour... and an exemption into ONE LPGA event.

I started watching this show the middle of season 2, season 3 was the first to show the women and since they filmed it right up the road from here I watched. I confess, I enjoy watching attractive women golf. This is probably the only series tv show that I watch weekly. Didn't catch it last night but I am sure I'll see the rebraodcast of it.

I thought the show idea is fine. Of course they have women on, some moderately attractive, for us guys to watch. I mean on the first episode they made some of the women go into a pool - totally unnecessary (well it depends on perspective ;)).

I do think Kim is going to win, she hits it longer, seems calm under pressure and had a very nice sand save. The girl without shoes, she shouldn't be on the at show and the longer she is on it - the more the others will be p'oed about it! sounds like a show to watch to me...

    • StuM,  I have, in the past, added a left handed club. (Ususally a 7 iron) However, I usually take a stroke penalty and move the ball to where I want it.  I play for fun and in a pinch can use theback side if my club if I don't want the penalty stroke.    RetiredOldMan,  Terry 
    • So, Brendan Sorsby, Texas Tech transfer QB, was found guilty of sports betting by the NCAA. He admitted to it. He placed thousands of bets over multiple years while at Indiana and Cincinnati. This included betting on his own teams.  The NCAA rules ban athletes from betting on any sport (college or pro).  A retired visiting judge from Tarrant County, Texas has put an injunction on the NCAA ruling. He is a visiting judge because the first judge was a graduate and big fan of Texas Tech, and he recused himself. The judged ruled the following... "Under Curry's order, Sorsby is permitted to play for Texas Tech's 2026 season on the condition that he continues his treatment for a gambling and anxiety disorder and serves a two-game suspension (missing games against Abilene Christian and Oregon State)."  Don't get me wrong, I don't particularly care for the NCAA. That still doesn't mean that a college can choose when or where to say, "Yea we agree to these rules for all our sports, well except in this case." Here is a breakdown from S&W. The Hidden Weapon in Sorsby’s Injunction: How a Lubbock County Court Order Quietly Neutralized the NCAA’s Most Powerful Enforcement Tool - Law Offices of Snell & Wilmer By Ryan J. Regula On June 8, 2026, Lubbock County District Court Judge Ken Curry issued a temporary injunction in Brendan Sorsby v. National Collegiate Athletic Association, Cause No. DC-2026-CV-0791 (99th Judicial District... The main judgement made sense. Sorsby, I am going to have all this harm done to me if I don't get to play. The Judge, I agree. The penalty for gambling is too harsh, so here are all these things you must do, and I will grant this injunction against the NCAA. Basically, an analogy would be when a person goes into court for a DUI and they agree to all these other things to not end up in jail.  What sucks for the NCAA is the NCAA has appealed to Texas’ Seventh Court of Appeals, based in Amarillo. All four justices that preside over the court are graduates of Texas Tech University School of Law. It would be hilarious if all four of them had to recuse themselves 🤣. For those who like to read legal rulings...  
    • The chatter in my brain is when the distance is between clubs since I am pretty weak at shortened backswings, etc. I try to simply decide if being long or short is the better outcome and choose my club based on that and simply not even try for the “real” distance.  For me a full normal swing is what I strive for.
    • I saw this comment made in a golf article... "Most golfers stand over a 4- or 5-iron still negotiating with themselves. They think about how hard to swing, whether they have the right club, if they have the aim correct and more. It’s a lot to deal with and long irons punish the “half-in” golf swing." I am not sure the "most golfers" is correct regarding the bolded part. I can understand if there is a bunker, water, and/or OB that a lot of golfers would be fixated on that. I am not sure that leads to ending up more times there. Pending your level in golf, the variance is so large in outcomes, it could be just with in the expected outcomes. I can understand if have a big lake on the right side of the hole being one of the most terrifying shots for right-handed amateur golfers.  I am not sure many golfers are standing over the ball talking to themselves, "Ok, maybe I should step back and pull the 4-iron. Am I lined up right? Oh, the wind came up, should I swing harder? What am I going to have for dinner tonight, maybe steak. (Joking, somewhat 😛)" A question is that how much chatter do you get while standing over the ball. Are you questioning the everything about your golf shot?
