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!

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.

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 303 - Long travel day, so just some mirror swings. Still trying to find that special combination that doesn’t induce hip pain. 
    • Day 54 - 2024-11-13 Played 18 at Tobacco Road.
    • ..maybe 1 shot HC change might be a good starting point..
    • Yeah, I have a similar view. I was in the team of 2 and we got down 5 after 5. Get 1 pt if win the hole - whatever that game is called. We lost it 3 down with 2 to play so almost saved it. After the first hole when the single did a putt, then dropped a second ball, made a slight adjustment and sunk it, we thought it wasn't right. We couldn't do anything with handicaps etc so we just made them wait between putts - usually just one of us to putt. We were a 23 and 25 handicappers (probably playing to about 28) and the single was a 16 handicapper, but somehow had a HC of 20 (so that is 1 HC pt already). In terms of making it fair, and changing HC (HC1 + HC2 / 4), I think maybe adding 2 HCs to the double (or taking 2 HC off the single (after the adding and div by 4) might make it fair. Also maybe making a rule that the single couldn't change clubs for the second hit. Hard to say from that one game but possibly: - 2 shot HC adding - can't change clubs for second shot - need to have other team putt in between their 2 putts   Not sure. Do you think you'd still win or have these rules made it unfair the other way? Cheers for thoughts..  
    • In that case I double down on my comments - I'll take the single guy and I know if I'm in that match against two similar players I'm pretty confident that I'm the favorite.
