Would it still have been "illegal" if Christina would have stepped on the grass first and then placed her ball?

I thought that is what she did. I thought she stepped on the grass then placed the ball? I thought she was holding the ball in her left hand.

You can step behind the ball on the Tee but nowhere else. The problem with the ruling is that this is the Big Break and they are not technically "playing a hole" as they are playing a 1 shot contest from this particular spot. So IMO this is something that the big break should specify beforehand. Here is a question. So if they allowed this by Christina, what if someone did it in the next pitching/chipping contest from the rough? IMO same situation and you would have to allow it since its the technical "teeing ground" for the hole.

Ha! Were the competitors really "playing a ball with a club from the teeing ground into the hole"? No: they were neither starting at a teeing ground nor finishing at a hole. This challenge was not Golf; it was merely hitting shots onto an green. The Rules of Golf apply to Golf only, not some pseudo-golf-form in which contestants neither tee off nor putt out.

This is what I was yelling at the TV. It is NOT golf !!!! I would have fought that claim tooth and nail. Then I would have told thecow to mind her own business.

As other have said, Lori should be on a show called the re-tred break. I'm sorry she had her chance. This show is about getting in the door, not back in the door after you locked yourself out.

As annoying as Lori is with her BS mind games, it annoys me even more that Christina doesn't fire back at that big bitch. When they were tag teaming her at breakfast, I was hoping she'd stand up, tell Lori an Sophie to go f themselves, and walk off.

I understand that everyone is there to win, but to me, Lori's antics go way beyond poor etiquette and are plain ridiculous. I'm definitely pulling for Christina.

I'm glad she didn't do this (as you stated) imo this world has to many A-Holes (like Lori) in it, and not enough Hero's.....she took the higher road and I was so glad for her....you go girl....

While I appreciate what you're saying, I disagree. You don't have to let yourself be verbally and mentally abused in order to take the high road. You can stand up for yourself and still rise above. Maybe what I posted was a little extreme, but even if she went as far as I suggested it wouldn't make her an a-hole like Lori. That being said, I still wish someone would tell Lori to stuff it.

I agree here. Christina should have stood up for herself. I am disappointed that Lori won the prize package and really was hoping that after she won it, she would be eliminated. I definitely will miss Susan saying, "oh sugar".

Although I am rooting for Kim.

While I would have liked Christina to stand up for herself, it isn't just Lori that she would have had to stand up to in this case. She is really going up against everyone. If you remember, Lori wasn't even the first to say something about Christina tapping down the ground. It was actually Kim who first said something. I hate Lori as much as everyone else but she is not the only one who is giving Christina grief.

If Lori gets booted before Christina, I hope Christina completely ices her. "Um, who you huggin', bitch? Buh-bye!"

If Christina goes before Lori, I want Christina to toss out something like: "Oh, it's OK, I can always fall back on my good looks. Lori.....well......best of luck in golf."

Nothing in the swing is done at the expense of balance.

Perhaps I wasn't listening carefully enough to the rules, but I didn't understand why with Lori and Sophie tied in points that Lori was given the price package instead of Sophie.

I personally am glad that Christina has not stooped to Lori's level and given her the satisfaction of saying anything. Seems like it is exactly what Lori wants. I think her actions say enough.

They tied for immunity, not the season-long points race. Lori was ahead in the season standings.

Christina is a better person. karma baby. We all wish to tell the a-holes of the world to f-off. what makes people great is the restraint, or shall i say what makes great people great.


All of us see the medal of the players, and i am not referring to their play.


Golf is the greatest game of all, because you cannot hide the true self.

It's Lori vs Chris and Sophie vs. Kim in episode 10. This should get interesting... Lot's of bad feelings. I just can't understand why Lori acts the way she does either...

I think its because she's better suited to graze in a grassy field.

Not a bad guess, but I have a theory...Lori has a huge crush on Christina but can't act on it (for several reasons). Hence the negative obsession with Chris.

      Driver and 3W Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      In terms of ball striking, not really. Ball striking being how good you are at hitting the center of the clubface with the swing path you want and the loft you want to present at impact.  In terms of getting better launch conditions for the current swing you have, it is debatable.  It depends on how you swing and what your current launch conditions are at. These are fine tuning mechanisms not significant changes. They might not even be the correct fine tuning you need. I would go spend the $100 to $150 dollars in getting a club fitting over potentially wasting money on changes that ChatGPT gave you.  New grips are important. Yes, it can affect swing weight, but it is personal preference. Swing weight is just one component.  Overall weight effects the feel. The type of golf shaft effects the feel of the club in the swing. Swing weight effects the feel. You can add so much extra weight to get the swing weight correct and it will feel completely different because the total weight went up. Imagine swinging a 5lb stick versus a 15lb stick. They could be balanced the same (swing weight), but one will take substantially more effort to move.  I would almost say swing weight is an old school way of fitting clubs. Now, with launch monitors, you could just fit the golfer. You could have two golfers with the same swing speed that want completely different swing weight. It is just personal preference. You can only tell that by swinging a golf club.

      Driver and 3W Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      Thanks for the comments. I fully understand that these changes won't make any big difference compared to getting a flawless swing but looking to give myself the best chance of success at where I am and hopefully lessons will improve the swing along the way. Can these changes make minor improvements to ball striking and misses then that's fine. From what I understood about changing the grips, which is to avoid them slipping in warm and humid conditions, is that it will affect the swing weight since midsize are heavier than regular and so therefore adding weight to the club head would be required to avoid a change of feel in the club compared to before?

      I think part of it is there hasn't been enough conclusive studies specific to golf regarding block studies. Maybe the full swing, you can't study it because it is too complicated and to some degree it will fall into variable or random.

      Going one step stiffer in the golf shaft, of the same make and model will have minor impact on the launch conditions. It can matter, it is a way to dial in some launch conditions if you are a few hundred RPM off or the angle isn't there. Same with moving weights around. A clubhead weights 200-220 grams. You are shifting a fraction of that to move the CG slightly. It can matter, again its more about fine tuning. As for grip size, this is more personal preference. Grip size doesn't have any impact on the swing out of personal preference.  You are going to spend hundreds of dollars for fine tuning. Which if you want, go for it. I am not sure what your level of play is, or what your goals in golf are.  In the end, the golf swing matters more than the equipment. If you want to go to that level of detail, go find a good golf club fitter. ChatGPT is going to surface scan reddit, golfwrx, and other popular websites for the answers. Basically, it is all opinionated gibberish at this point.
