Oh, I think Charlotte said in her last GG interview that she isn't permitted to post on the forums while the show is airing.

Not only that...but the contestants were advised NOT to read the forums given how brutal we forum folks can be. Some Big Break contestants are still feeling the bruises and affects of reading posts about themselves. Ouch!

Now that just seems silly. You would think the majority of people out there would be smart enough to know that people that post online are 'tougher' than they would be in real life...

Or am I in the minority on that one?!? Now were they strictly forbidden, or just strongly advised?!? I'd really like to see some of the H18 players in here...that would be awesome. They get to do interviews with you, what's the harm in posting on a message board?! Ok...back to work.

Yeah, someone just said something about Christine Lecuyer re-vamping her swing (she needed it, anyway) largely because of what people said on forums. That may be the only time people on forums were right.

I was told that they were "advised" not to read the forums because others who did, lived to regret it. The BB Ka'anapali posts were brutal - I read them all and some were really really bad. I was told the same thing about previous BB's, but I didn't follow the forums as much back then.

So they weren't forbidden to lurk here and on other forums - just warned that they should be careful. If I were a contestant, you wouldn't see me here for love or money! My ego just isn't strong enough Gayle

That's too bad. During "Big Break 6", Gavin posted on another forum (he was a member before BB6) after each show and answered some question about events that had already occurred. His insight was great and it made the show even more interesting.

Not only that...but the contestants were advised NOT to read the forums given how brutal we forum folks can be.

Uhhhh, Lori perhaps? Well, maybe if she wasn't such a deceitful witch, it wouldn't have been a problem. (Although, I have perused the TGC forums a couple of times, and they are populated by idiots. It wouldn't surprise me if the only thing those guys focused on was her physical appearance. Those forums are a disgrace to TGC.)

Just for example, I'd bet a beer & a boiled egg there were some comments on some forums Lori Astedes might not appreciate a whole lot . . .

More bad promos by TGC, so don't click on the spoiler if you don't what to find out...

http://www.thegolfchannel.com/core.aspx?page=23853&select2;=10357

"Another team hits the end of the road ... find out the final two teams."

This puts the show in the bad position of having one team have to defeat Charlotte and Rob twice , which saps excitement.

Note this: the golf channel's website only lists two new episodes, tomorrow and September 30 (the latter of which is titled "The Finish Line"). This means either Charlotte and Rob win on the first of two tries, or the winner of that final show is automatically the winner of the competition. (Rob and Charlotte would probably receive a 10-minute time bonus or something along those lines for going in to the last episode with no strikes.)

This news bodes well for Rob and Charlotte fans

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)...

Not necessarily.

(Another blindfolded clam.)
The show might switch to single elimination either this week, or next. Especially for the final head-to-head competition.

Not necessarily.

Where did you find this information? On the website?

I just don't see how they can do that after they said how it works in the first show.
In a double elimination sports tournament, a lot of times it gets down to one team having to beat another team twice.
Unless
the final show is a 2-hour show, like Survivor does.
Well,
it's not a two hour show.

Oh, no. Sorry, I didn't mean to imply that had definitive information. I was just speculating. I thought maybe when it was down to the last 2 teams, they would have to go head-to-head in matchplay fourball or foursomes, or something. And at that time, double elimination would be abandoned.

I don't really watch any reality shows except for B.B. (and now H18), and they seem to change the rules alot. Maybe that's unusual?

Oh, that's OK, I was just looking all over trying to find where you got it!

And if not for that, I wouldn't have had so much fun with the

I want him and Peach to be eliminated, but I don't hope that an injury might have anything to do with it.

He fell down running to the Enclave. I'm surprised this is the first time that's happened with all this running on concrete in golf shoes.

He fell on it while running away from the first challenge (at Doral).

Episode's not over yet, but some mid-show thoughts:

"SHE was excited" -- told ya there was some sexual tension there. Clearly, GG needs to interview her while she's drinking again and get the scoop.

Really sucks about Jay.

I fully expect a match play finale for the last episode, pitting the Ashes against Char-baby and Rob for all the marbles.

      3 Wood Shafts

      By rod7515 · Posted

      Im struggling to hit a 3 wood any distance. Im 67 now and used to use a 3 wood all the time. My swing speed with the 3 woods is between 80-84. I am only 5'5" tall. I currently have 4- 3 woods in my used club selection. I have an old Titliest 910FD, a Taylormade Sim2, a PXG gen 4 and a Ping G430. None of these can i hit more than 180 yards and often much shorter. My driver which is a Ping G430 I hit about 210-225. Heres the crazy thing, I carry a Taylormade Sim2- 7 wood that I hit 175-185. I carry an older titliest H1 Hybrid 23* that i hit 165-175. All yardages are with carry. When i hit both the Hybrid and the 7 wood they feel like very solid strikes yet I never feel like i hit any of these 3 woods solid. All of these clubs have regular shafts of different manufacturers. I would like to be able to hit a 3 wood 200 yards. Im thinking I need to start playing with shafts, Maybe even shorten them some. I have equipment to pull shafts and set swingweights and reglue. I have a bunch of reg flex old driver shafts that i could shorten. My driver, 7 wood and Hybrid are all D3 Swingweight. The 3 woods are D3 as well.  Where would you start? Thanks Rod

      Can Somebody Explain to Me Why Lie Angle Balanced Putters Are Important?

      By rod7515 · Posted

      This was a great read from start to finish. Ive been watching the LAB putters for 3 or 4 years now. Ive never been a good putter and Ive worked at putting but i just dont seem to get better at it. I play at least 3 times a week with a 11.6 Hdcp and i have owned probably 20+ putters over my last 10 years. Ive even tried the broomstick putters which at first I thought helped but as time went on i missed just as many putts. For me it comes down to nerves which i struggle to control when putting. I always feel like i have someone leaning over me watching my every move when i putt. I had a friend I play with this fall go get fitted for a LAB and he came back all excited, he bought one and he was already a player that probably averages 32 putts a round. So i think I would say hes a good putter. I used his putter a few times and the feeling i get compared to my putter which right now is a Ping Vault 2.0 Piper and just before that an Evnroll ER5v and before that Spyder Ghost........anyway the feeling I notice was that i can take the putter back without it twisting some. At least thats the feeling i get. I dont know if i would be a better putter with a LAB putter but after this year i will know as I went and was fitted and have one on the way. I can only hope it makes a differnce. If not ive got plenty of putters to fall back on!  Rod

      I love Rancho Park too!  I don't get out there much due to the 405 issues (Im in Santa Clarita) but I do try and get out there every now and then...last time out was in January where I eagled 17 (left green) with a holed 145 yard third shot ! Rancho is a great course! And at 24 bucks weekday with the city card, an absolute steal!
