I went through a few months without The Golf Channel, so I missed season V. I'll be looking forward to seeing this one though.

It's cool that we get men and women. Maybe that will make everyone tune in each week.

As for Donald Trump, I could do without seeing him. However, his golf course is beautiful from what I've seen. I'm not even sure how many golf courses he has these days.

Amen Rafi!

If age is any indication, the women are all 25 and under...the men were on the second page, so I'd didn't bother. They should add weight and height next to the age, so at least we can decide whether it's worth our time.

Personally I hope that one chick labeled as "native of Hawaii" is Michelle's older twin sister

Her older twin?

I think it would be funny to disguise an actual member of the Champions Tour, a solid performer but not one well known, and one from the LPGA Tour and have them play too under an alias. That'd be fun. The people on the show wouldn't know, and they could be "outed" (and removed from the show) when they got down to the final five or four or so. It would be interesting to hear what the other contestants would have to say about someone who is living the dream they all share. Maybe for BB VII

Nah, reality TV always sells. It's crazy, but it's true.

Fans like myself always enjoy watching people battle for a spot in a tourney on one of the big tours. It's fun to watch people hit a bad shot every once in awhile because I do it all the time. They do need a couple more Danielle Aimee's though. Nobody liked her, but there hasn't been that much discussion here at The Sand Trap since. The Big Break III discussion topic was a zillion pages it seemed like.

You really mean someone new with a killer figure? I thought there were several with equivalent personalities on the last one, just none that were hot.

Bri is cute, but she is way down the list for me. Karyn seemed to have a great personality, and she was genuinely happy to be there. It was sad to see her eliminated. Oh well, she is married to Colts TE Ben Utecht, so the moeny isn't an issue.

Brigette or however it is spelled is my favorite of the females so far. It's still early in the game though.

As for the guys, I really couldn't tell you what I expect. They all seem to be fairly decent so far, but that cross-handed grip by Albert is amazing! It hurts me just watching him swing a golf club. It was effective though.

So far, I'm liking this season. I love the golf course as well! That always helps.

I wish Kelly would stop talking about freakin' Moe Norman. Norman's (evolved into) "Natural Golf" swing is supposed to promote accuracy over anything, and yet Kelly hit the worst (off-line) tee shot in the driving challenge.

I've yet to see anyone convince me that the Moe Norman swing is a good way to play golf. No, obviously I never saw Moe Norman, but I think he could have been the only one to convince me.

I wish I could see the show, I am too cheap(and poor) to buy the directtv package I need to see it. denny hepler (the guy from warsaw, IN) is my former teacher, and I caddied for him during the practice rounds at the US Open. I am wishing him all the best of luck. Kind of a goofball, but is a genuine nice guy who would do anything for you.

      My Swing (Ty_Webb)

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I had two events the past two days. Yesterday I was playing a course blind. Hit it solid. Hit 9/14 fairways, 12/18 greens, 34 putts. Many of those putts were the result of balls that were close-ish to the hole when they landed, but wound up a long way away once they'd finished rolling (backwards mainly). Then today, hit 11/13 fairways, 11/18 greens, 37 putts, and shot 80. 8 over par and it wasn't particularly pretty. My big problem today was my pitching. I was inside 100 yards of the hole and off the green on 9 occasions.  1st - drive to about 75 yards, fanned a 58 degree short and right. On the green, but a good 40 feet away and good two putt from there (so took 3) 2nd - laid up to a bunker and it's narrow past it, so had 165 in, missed it right with an 8 iron. Wet rough, chip from about 5 yards off the green and the club snagged. It got on the green, but only temporarily. Overcorrected a bit on the next one and hit it a bit firm and it rolled out to about 35 feet. Putt didn't break and it ran on a bit and I missed the one back (greens were fast and a little bumpy, which didn't help, but doesn't excuse either). (took 5 to get down from close to the green) 4th - had about 95 from the right rough, hit it on the green and two putts (3) 5th - 90 from the fairway, tugged it and it got a firm bounce, chipped on and hit what I thought was a decent chip, but it ran out down the hill and two putts from 20 feet (4) 7th - 65 from the fairway, significant upslope and hit it a bit hard, ran long left against the collar. Tried to blade a PW, but it got under a bit so didn't advance it anything like far enough. Made a good two putt from there (4) 11th - 63 from the fairway, hit a squirrelly pitch on the green and two putts (3) 12th - 75 from the semi-rough, caught it a bit clean and it wound up on the back edge. Putting down a tier and it ran 8 feet past (that was actually a really good putt and couldn't have done any better I don't think) and missed that (4) 13th - 55 from the fairway, overcorrected and hit the big ball before the small ball. Then made a stellar up and down from 25 yards short to an elevated green with a putter (3) 15th - down in three from a greenside bunker (3) That was it. The other 9 holes I hit it on the green from outside 100 yards. So on those 9 occasions, I took 32 shots to get in the hole. 3.56 average. Terrible. Reason I'm posting this in here is to see if anyone has any suggestions for how to work on my contact with pitch shots. I don't have access to a grass range. Only mats and it's easy off a mat. Partly I think my problem is I've hit it off mats so much this winter that I've lost my judgement on where the ball is versus the ground because of the leeway granted. Open to ideas. I also suspect that under pressure I stand a bit closer to it and then get steep and hit down on it and it puts me in a bad place, but I can't seem to get myself to not do that.
