Hey worst shot ever :)

Maybe it's not such a crazy theory after all. Golfgal, you have your assignment!

I wonder if the teams are told that they have to participate in the product placement on this thing. The Enclave and SkyCaddie references seem a little manufactured. "There's an Enclave. There's another Enclave!" Uh huh.

I'm not sure I see it that way. What else would he say? "There's a car! There's another car!!" Or "There's a team!!"

I think he was just saying what he saw... if it was a Camaro instead of an Enclacve, it makes perfect sense that he would say that... "There's a Camaro!!"

I don't know, I think there is also some personal animosity between Team R/J and Team Reynolds (at least from R/J's side).

Totally agree. I think there's no doubt that in the very least R/J doesn't like P/J (I don't think Jay likes anyone, including team R/J)... but I think at least part of the animosity is due to the fact that they think Peach and Jay are the strongest team and are intimidated by them.

I agree.

But I disagree with R/J's assessment. I think Rob and Charlotte are the strongest team. No strikes and their only foul-ups have been on the road, not in any golf. (I think. I'm a little fuzzy at the moment. Need more caffeine.) And while P/J have always done well in the clubhouse challenges, they struggle in the road challenges. Rob and Charlotte have not. I wonder if there is some editing of non-essential footage that makes Rob/Charlotte look like less of a favorite?

I agree.

I agree with your disagreement. I think (hope) that in the end Jay's methods will prove his undoing and that Rob and Charlotte's calm nature will allow them to win.

And Charlotte's noises. Don't forget her noises.

Watching the Bell Micro Classic today, the new H18 commercial was on

(blindfolded clam for those who don't want to know)

"Another team finds the end of the road"

So I guess that means Rob and Charlotte don't get a strike this week.

And either the Ashes, Peach/Jay or Team Boring Raul/Jameica get booted.

With my viewing luck, it will be the Ashes.

Yeah, I saw that too, and thought, "gee, that's dumb."

Yeah, I noticed that too. The Golf Channel could conduct a seminar on how to make reality shows as anti-climactic as possible through show promos and editing.

I wouldn't be surprised if this took place:

[Charlotte and Rob have no strikes; Peach and Jay have one. The other three teams are eliminated.] Voice-over on ad: "In this final installment of Highway 18, a team will be eliminated as we crown our first champion." (And, honestly, a scenario with one team having to beat another team head-to-head twice to win the competition would stink. I hope it doesn't happen.) Another thing that vexes me (and this occurs on the BB series as well) is promo footage that occurs in an episode after the current one. Usually this isn't such a big deal, but, until the episode from which the promo is taken is aired, those shown in the promo will remain on the show. For example, TGC has repeatedly aired the clip of the Ashes chipping in consecutively since the beginning of the show. When it looked like the Ashes were headed for their second strike and elimination in week 3, those who had seen the promo knew they would remain, killing the episode's suspense. Promos and advertisements have worked to the detriment of Highway 18.

What's in my bag:

Driver: R7 CGB Max, regular shaft
4-wood and 7-wood: :: Launcher, regular shafts
4-iron to A-wedge: X-20, regular steel shafts56- and 60-degree wedge: forged, stiff steel shafts, vintage finish, MD groovesPutter: Circa '62, No. 7, steel shaft, 35"Ball: NXT Tour or ProV1(x)...

Too true. Also,

the shot of the Ash's in black, one on the floor, at the box is ripe with significance, which I take to mean they're going nowhere tuesday. I interpret that scene to mean that they made it, if just barely, and the collapse of one Ash on the ground is her comedic reaction to getting the ball -- especially given that the other Ash appears to be in good humor. Not a certainity, but I guess we'll see....

I wonder if they may throw in a double, in which two teams receive a strike? If so, a team could be eliminated on the same day that Rob and Charluscious get their first strike. I don't know if there is such a precedent to be drawn from Amazing Race, but Project Runway has done that before (or so I'm told ).

Well, pretty much nobody liked Lori on the last BB and she got eliminated so maybe R&J; will face a similar fate.

True! Horray, there is hope!

I guess it would be more accurate to say that the person(s) I want to win never wins. (I wanted Sam to win BB:9)

Its not always how you drive the ball, but how it arrives.

      Question About UK vs. U.S. Course Etiquette

      By RickK · Posted

      The term I hear most often is "double teeing" which means the course/club has starting times from both the #1 and #10 tee.  I have encountered this many times and we know if we are the first group off #10, we may well get to #1 and have to wait because there are groups still with tee times yet to tee of #1.  In most instances, where the course/club has a starter, he normally explains this situation.  In this case, the pro advised what you would could/would encounter making the turn to #1.  And, that is exactly what happened.  Probably would have been wise to talk to the pro after playing back 9 and ask when you could go off #1 since apparently that club does not double tee.   Regardless, the outburst towards the other group was uncalled for.  And, I don't blame the member for being upset.  As a member of a private club, you are responsible for the actions of your guest.  I have played many times as a guest in the UK and I am pretty damn sure my host was responsible for my actions while at the club.  I know at the clubs I have belonged to here in the US, that is the way it is.  As a matter of fact, the member may find himself being brought before management and facing possible suspension.  So, I don't blame him for being upset.  However, as the host, he really should have stepped up and put a stop to the OP's actions.  OP makes this statement "I now understand that standards are different on the "private course." But I'll take those lessons to the muni, too."  No, the standards are not different.  You, sir, seem to be just a bit hard headed and belligerent, even if you are college professor...which possibly explains a lot.   JMHO

      Day 32: worked for about 10 minutes on my drill. Filmed it as well for a check in. I think it’s slightly better but still seeing some issues.

      Day 44 (26 Dec 25)  -  played in the Friday men’s shootout with a twist - used the Toney Penna persimmons and MacGregor blades - had a blast playing these clubs.  They really help in zoning in on making solid ball contact.  Scoring was solid - had several looks at birdie and had a few par saves.  Overall a day of focused course management.
