Big Break Disney

[pachardos]

I just had to vent somewhere for this topic. Is it me or is Blake, of Big Break Disney Golf, doing too much with his mouth than with his clubs? I kind of let it go through the first few episodes but man, it never ends. It's kind of embarrassing if you think about it. All these calm and, of course, pressured contestants trying hard on every shot and there is one loose cannon just letting off mini shots with his mouth after every shot. He also lets it out against other contestants. For the past two episodes I heard him say (referring to Kevin) "How is he still here?" WOW...The last time I checked, Blake has just as much, if not more, inconsistent shots as Kevin did through the show so far. He got mad at Kevin this week for saying "Wow" after he had just won. WOW...lol...Everyone knows that Andrew Giuliani has a GREAT golf game. He can back his talk up with his game. I think he should keep rattling Blake. haha...I love his grin before every shot. Gipper has a bad shoulder, Kevin is slicing the ball but they're not slamming clubs and tearing up grass on the show. (okay maybe the other contestants do slam their clubs but they do it at their bag not the course's grass...lol) Blake's actions make good TV but man does it bother me. This is golf man...you should have learned to control your emotions in your double digit handicap days.

GO TONY FINAU!!! haha

Your comments are spot on.

I'd love to see Andrew and Kevin outlast Blake and Mike, they would throw fits if it happened, I am sure.

I actually have played a tournament round with Blake, on a few occasions. I've seen him get sorta kinda heated once, but that was more light frustration. To see what I'm seeing on BB is something different than the Blake I know.

It's surprising to see a good golfer react the way he has. Majority of the really good golfers that I know, don't let golf get to them. They know they are good and they just keep plugging away. Very odd for someone who is at his level (I'm sure he can play even though he hasn't shown it) get THAT upset.

It's almost like that since he mentioned something to the affect that he "has a little bit of a temper" on the first show, that he now feels he has to live up to that by throwing fits.

Yes, Blake seems to be on complete monkey-tilt (pardon the poker jargon). You can practically see him exploding before he even hits the shot.

[flopdarock]

yeah blake bagging on kevin really tripped me out... lol...
ummm blake... how did you even get past the first ep?
kevin is still there cuz he hit a few better shots than you... you can really ask why is he still there? LOL... he made the shots when it counted... whereas blake hasnt made any shot at all... its the other guys like vince choking to keep blake in... not blakes play keeping him in... blake just outright sucks and a good player has to give it away and go home

Good Golfer? You have got to be kidding me. He has shown nothing ! Nothing! I wouldn't share a spot with him in a foursome or on an entire course for that matter. He's dangerous and needs heavy medication and possibly restraints. If Blake ever makes it to the PGA, I'm taking up bowling!

Absolutely agree, Blake is a complete jackass. If he played in my group, we'd give him a blanket party in the parking lot after the round.

[golfdad]

assuming the producers did not encourage blake to play the role of a miserable jork for rating, perhaps he is one

Obviously he's not shown any of his ability on the show. I've even posted in this thread about how terrible he's looked. The thing is that anyone can have a stretch of golf where they are playing bad. The show is only recorded over the course of two weeks. If you're not swinging your best, you're not likely to find it in a matter of two weeks especially when you cannot play and practice a lot during that time to work it out.

Adam Scott has had a terrible year where I've seen some scores from him in the 80's at times. Does that mean I'd go out and bet my paycheck against him? Not a chance. He CAN play even though he's been in a slump all year. David Duval ring a bell? Number one player in the world and almost instantly goes to not being able to break 85. Blake is an absolute headcase and doesn't have the game for the PGA Tour, but he is by most standards, a "good golfer."

maybe im mistaken but did any of these guys even make it to the second stage of q school? i didnt see any one of there names when i looked. please correct me if im wrong but whoever won. wasted a good chance.

[Golf_Gal]

I have to say, that Andrew, I think, is THE best player on the show...even though he's annoying and is cocky, its all a mindgame and maybe that's just how he is. But I miss Vince, he was my favorite!!

I agree 100% that golfers go through bad stretches. That's really not my point (even though I did say that). My problem with him is his attitude toward the game, the course and the guys he's competing against. Tiger can display a bad attitude as well and when he does, I feel the same resentment toward him. But Blake is a total ass, or he certainly behaves that way. How long do you think I would last with my buddies if I acted like that? Who would want to play with some one who has temper problems like his? I certainly wouldn't. I'd have to walk away or have him walk away.

OK then, we both agree 100% then.

His attitude is terrible. I thought the point you were making when you said:

Was that Blake wasn't a good golfer which I tried to point out that he probably is. Since your point was with his bad attitude toward the game, I agree.

+1 good point. i liked blake in the beginning because of his intesity but he's acting like an ass. im sure the editing is helping this along but with or without it anyone would probably come to the same conclusion

The BREAK challenge was lame. The Finau bros had an advantage over everyone else. And I'm glad to see Kevin earn his way onto the next show. I wonder if he aimed left...

How did the brothers have the advantage? They all had an opportunity to make each shot. They all got to choose a spot to see if they could be the best at the shot.

Whoever wins from each spot got to apply another letter to the person of their choosing. They had an advantage in that if either of them won from a particular spot they knew that the other one wasn't going to give them another letter. Not a huge advantage, but an advantage nonetheless.
