With 3 hockey games, 24 and Heroes on tonight, I think this will be relegated to the PVR to watch tomorrow. I have never seen an episode of BB so I have no idea what to expect.

you sound like me... I have always played and watched hockey, and I have been DVRing Heroes and 24 all season. Too many things on on Monday... takes me all week just to watch.

Yep, Mr. "It would have been 415 if the wind wasn't in my face"...couldn't hit an iron. Terrible swing to boot, dipped down at least 6 to 8 inches on the downswing.

glad to see him go... maybe... it is always interesting to watch long-ballers. Too bad he wasn't more tolerable like Jerry (or Gerry?) from Mesquite. I wonder if the dip came from watching Barkley on the Haney Project?

The girls were gorgeous!

Not too familiar with the characters yet but i'll second that.

Glad its come to Canada even though its miles from where im at. The guy that went home seemed like he was the least skilled. He even said "im here for one thing.. to grip it and rip it". Glad he went home and not the guy with the CPGA experience.

Happy the Pats/Sox fan is gone.

I wanted him gone just for his visor.

Too bad the local Massachusetts boy didn't go on. Oh well Eugene seems like a good guy. Robert didn't look like he'd get very far anyway.

I really hope Derek gets knocked out and takes his huge ego with him.

Im kinda cheering for Brian, he's from Greensburg, PA which is about 30mins from here and he now lives in Va Beach where I grew up.

I have to concede the Pats logo weighed in my evaluation of him.

It's interesting to watch the producers play little games with the editing, probably to amuse themselves. I caught part of the episode again. While the contestants were lined up after it had been split into 5 safe and 7 facing elimination, Stina was explaining the elimination challenges and said the two furthest from the pin would compete against each other, with the loser going home. As she was emphasizing that, the camera was panning across Robert and Eugene, standing side by side.

Really enjoyed the show. Glad Eugene remains for another week. I get a kick out of watching him. Anybody else think he seems really fidgety?

The guy eliminated last night was an idiot. How does someone on that show miss a 3 ft putt, top an iron so badly that it rolls to the green, and pull a wedge 75 yards off target?? Heck I can do that, so where do I sign up? lol

Eugene seems like a nice guy, but he is fidgety. Also as bad as I hate to say it, Derek or Brian wins this.

I watched the show and was glad to see both of those players in the elimination. I found Eugene, finicky and a little off kilter...just something about him I didn't really like. As for the guy who got sent home, I was glad to see. He kept making these stupid comments that were quite honestly disturbing.

As for the fellow Canadian, Derek, I found him way too arrogant. I hope his arrogance diminishes in the next few shows.

I watched last night. Can't really get too much out of the first show except for first impressions. I like the Marine, seems genuine and focused along with what looks like some good skill. I like the Swedish girl too. She had a positive aire of confidence too her game. As track records go, I think Eugene looks the strongest.

The girls, Gerina, how cute is she.

I watched some of it last night and found that what some of the players said was just a little to... rehearsed. Maybe its just me but the more these "reality" shows go on the more they don’t seem to be scripted. All in all the course looked good and it was a nice match up of people for the game.

Derek seems like a major league douche. He is way too cocky. Brian is too, I just think he is a perfectionist, with the whole grass throwing. Eugene seemed like a nice guy but doesnt seem like he has the tenacity to win it. The Irish chick seems like she will go the farthest for the women, and the men its tough to say. Derek is good, but I personally want him to lose.

Then you'll be happy to know that I'll be interviewing her every week for my

Blair, Brenda, Derek and Gerina had lots to say about the show today. Check out their

interviews . You'll be surprised when you hear what Blair thinks of Robert.

More Brenda!!! YUMMY!!!! Do tell her I love her!

Great job on the interviews. We learned very little about the contestants on the show last night, and what they were really feeling and seeing.

Did anyone mention what time of year it was shot? Blair said it was cold. Im wondering if it was really cold, or if she's just being a baby!

    • 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 ..
