It kicks off tonight on the Golf Channel.

I'm not sure what to expect, but it looks like it's going to be fun & entertaining.

My early favorites are Ashley & Ashleigh.

My bad - I can't spell HIGHWAY!

DVR is awesome isn't it? I DVR things just so I can fast forward through the commercials...... oh by the way, the Yankees game is over, it's what 7-2 Yanks right now.

Doesn't look that interesting(to me at least). I'd rather watch The Big Break.

Well, Ashley and Ashleigh are interesting, and not because of their game (nice splash, Ashley; or was that Ashleigh?).

The Amazing-Race-for-golf concept is cool, though I do hope they show more golf, less race.

"I don't care how good your iron play is, if you can't drive it in the fairway you might as well break 'em up or use 'em...


So far I think I like it. There is still about 5 minutes left and I only know who finished first and second so far, but the format looks like it could get interesting

That's how I like my golf. A kick in the face. -Ben

I don't mind them, yet. I like the brother and sister team. Although I suspect the blondes are going to wear on my nerves, I'll enjoy watching them nonetheless.

Yeah I just watched it and his swing was indeed horrendous. If this show really tests golf skills I would not put money on that group because of that ugly swing.

I thought I heard somewhere that Jameica was a Duramed player and Raul was her Caddy... not sure though. Anyway... he looked like a crazy painter whipping a brush at a canvas.

Jay seems like a know-it-all.

The NC guys seem like they will be entertaining.

    • Day 238: played 18. Back 9 was pretty good after a rough front 9. Then worked a bit after the round at the range, just firming up some feels. 
    • Day 6 (15 Mar 25) - Played in local course’s 2man captain’s choice St Patrick’s Day tournament.  Great day of working closely with my teammate on course management process.  
    • Certainly BUY used so many near new Drivers in Good condition that will suit ...which IMHO the shaft is the most important part if you want to buy new get a shaft new that suits you then find the head you like the feel off 
    • I found being part of a Great Golf Club renewed my love for the game and comps ..previously at my other club I was just a player with novice player mates or solo .and that was hard to progress and drive the passion when my job was very restrictive to playing in good weather and friends couldn't play as much...  that become a grind at times and gave up the game for couple years..but now work for myself and have clear goals and new GC with serious players ongoing comps and great course I can pretty much always get on .. some great Golfing friends I made playing in the weekly comps ..I'm loving it..  Still get down on my game and can walk off gutted ..but thats the game we wouldn't love the good round if we never had bad rounds So for me maybe dropping the pressure of the HC grind and more so enjoy playing comps with others serious on the game ...understand the game is hard ,enjoy the good times and your game will develop ... 
    • Big week of Golf nursing golfing elbow ....played local amazing course Arrowtown tuesday ..had a tidy 81 for what I felt wasn't my best Golf in some wet windy conditions found the greens tough to read and gave away many shots... three birdies Played my local GC wed STB mens comp... very rough whole game not happy 89 just felt tired made so many mistakes max 4-holes I played well the rest rubbish to woeful ... Friday played south of my local Alexandra in a 4ball with my mates (we have a comp same partners over the year) played pretty well after not even hitting my 3wood past the ladies tee on the 1st hole ...very slow greens to what I usually played so we made gimmes within 2ft ,,,, couple birdies .. Wasn't going play ..but wife wasn't stressed so joined into the SAT Medal comp ..teed off early .. had some brilliant holes and shots some of my best .. birdied 3x ..78 for the day gave me a 7th in SNR division. putting let me down had a 4x putt on 3rd hole PAR3 ... along with 6+ three putts ... what could have been  Now looking over the above I'm sure many thinking go sort ya putting ya idot .. but couple weeks previously I played three comps .. out of those three I only had one 3x putt my best 24 putts over a round  ... but my driver off the tee was rubbish ..
