Big Break X: Michigan

[Guest]

Did anyone else notice on the last hole of the latest match with Haymes and Bernie vs. Amber and Robie, when Haymes moved the stick (loose impediment) before punching out from under the tree into the fairway (2nd shot on hole) the ball moved.

If you watch closely, the ball must have been lying on part of the stick and moved slightly when he removed it. Isn't that a one stroke penalty or loss of hole in match play?

Don't mean to be petty but that's golf.

And another thing, did I miss something when the game was explained at the start of the show, Stina said it was the first team to 4 points wins. Then it evolved to A/S, 1 up and then B&H; just need a tie to win. They just dropped the points and went to straight match play? .... jmoc

Here's how the scoring went...

Hole 1: Amber 1/2, Bernie 1/2 Hole 2: Amber 0, Bernie 1 Hole 3: Robbie 1, Haymes 0 Hole 4: Robbie 1/2, Haymes 1/2 Hole 5: R&A; 0, H&B; 1 Hole 6: R&A; 0, H&B; 1 so totals: Amber and Robbie: 2 Haymes and Bernie: 4 So they did get to 4 points to win, but through a match play format.

Here's how the scoring went...

I apologize for being so goofy, but when I see R&A; I think, voila, Royal & Ancient and when I see H&B; I think Hillerich & Bradsby (who makes Louisville Slugger baseball bats & used to make first line golf clubs - PowerBilt Citation among other products) Then, of course, B&H; would be Bell & Howell).

Great post Golfgal - I was pretty sure H&B; got to four points and that the match was match-play from the git go, but I was too lazy to go back to the DVR and check it out. OBTW, a few years ago I went to Whistler/Blackcomb for a skiing trip, my only visit to B.C. but what a beautiful place!

Here's how the scoring went...

I'm still comfused by the "they just need a tie" comment. If they tied #6 it would have been 2.5 to 3.5, let's just say they (H&B;) lose #7, now it's 3.5 to 3.5, so they really needed a win as they were not dormie - "that should one hole be halved, that leading player will win the match". Maybe I just misheard the statement.

Here's how the scoring went...

Actually Robby won both of his holes:

Hole 1: Amber 1/2, Bernie 1/2 Hole 2: Amber 0, Bernie 1 Hole 3: Robbie 1, Haymes 0 Hole 4: Robbie 1, Haymes 0 (Haymes misses his birdie putt and concedes birdie to Robby) Hole 5: R&A; 0, H&B; 1 Hole 6: R&A; 0, H&B; 1 Hole 7: R&A; 0, H&B; 1 so the totals after 6 holes are H&B; 3.5, R&A; 2.5 (or Haymes & Bernie 1up with 1 to play) therefore, by virtue of a half on the 7th hole of play, Haymes and Bernie could have won 4-3 (or 1up), since they won the hole they won 4.5-2.5 (or 2up)

Skiing??? You didn't golf Whistler? Oh...you really missed a fabulous experience. There are amazing courses there - I love Big Sky where you feel drawfed by the mountains around you...and Nicklaus North - a challenge for sure, but great fun course for hackers too like me...Chateau Whistler - after the first 4 uphill holes, if you haven't been eaten by a bear, the rest of your round will be fun. And finally the Whistler course - a Palmer course with lots of "gotchas". 4 great courses. Waaaaay more fun that skiing. ;)

Actually, Whistler gets more tourists now in the summer with golf and mountain biking than they do in the winter. Now that the the Olympics are coming in 2010, the highway is getting a makeover and it will be less hazardous to your health to drive up there ;) Gayle

Hmmm...really? I better start taking better notes. I had Robbie up by 1 after hole 4 in my notes, but maybe that was Robbie was up by

1 more . Sigh...Gotta get a PVR! Thanks for setting us straight! Gayle

She needs to stop spending so much time in the mirror and work on her golf game. Esp that ugly swing of hers. She went to futures qschool and shot 78-76-76 - 230 (+14) and missed the cut by 6 strokes!!!! I guess she's not playing on the Futures Tour next year.

Amber is not very good at all....

That's kinda harsh, especially for your first post. Her "ugly" swing produces sub 80's, while that may not get her on tour, she would clean your clock on the course (and mine as well) .... jmoc

You need to stop spending so much time ripping on superior golfers and work on your golf game. Esp that ugly swing (and 36 handicap) of yours.

smmmmmmmmmmaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaackkkk!!!! Seriously, maybe dude is just bitter that a girl he would gladly get in the sack with could whip his tail around the links.

[jmoc]

I'll be surprised if Haymes/Bernie don't win, Hugo looks kinda deflated and spent in the after action interviews, who knows .... jmoc

[pshizz]

hey guys, what irons does hugo play? i know camilla plays the ap2 and that robbie plays the mp 30's but im curious about hugo. i would also like to know what haymes plays

[jmoc]

See the teaser for the next BB, looks like they took away the PGA/LPGA event and they'll just get 100k, "just" ... jmoc

[BeaSt]

NOOO hugo and camila are gona lose :(

their my favorites their so much better.. this sucks. wish they won :(


but congrats to them, they surprised me. Makes missing his sons birth easier to deal with, he can drive him around in his new bmw xD

I was happy either way the outcome would of been, I was surpised with it though.

The only thing is, why can't they make the finals a 2 hour special? I'd rather have seen more of the golf than skipping through much of the holes. I'm sure it wouldn't hurt the Golf Channel to drop one hour of infomercials.

I am shocked. Hugo and Camilla were absolutely dominant the entire season. Wow.

I'd have watched that. Good point.
