I LOVE this show. From the ostentatious theme song ("Simply the Best" by Ms. Tina Turner), to the bizarre ramblings of Donnie with his co-hostess who rarely speaks. I hope that for season 2 Donnie ups the ante and allows Indian leg-wrestling to decide honors on the first tee. Thoughts?

I enjoy it in the aspect that its great to see athletes and celerities square off in match play but I can do without Trumps commentary on every shot, If Trump talked half as much it would be twice the show!

Driver- Titleist 910 D3 9.5

3 Wood- Burner 15 degree
Irons- Slingshot 4I-AW
Hybrid- CPR 3 22 degree
Putter- White Hot XG 8

Love when the Don describes every course they play as "the best course in (your state's name here)." He is so full of hyperbole that it drips out of his nose as he walks.

I've enjoyed the show quite a bit so far this year. I've actually found this perspective of Trump to be pretty entertaining. I mean, if he wasn't making those obnoxious comments, the show would generally be nothing more than bad golf for 45 minutes. The shots they've showed of Trump playing golf have shown him to be a decent golfer despite one ugly swing too.

I love this show. I don't mind that it is really an hour-long infomercial for Trump's golf properties around the country. It's kind of fun to see non-touring golfers in match play, though my favorite episode was the one with John Daly and Rocco Mediate. Seeing those guys just out there having fun was a blast. Hopefully season 2 has more of those type matches.

They need to have decent golfers. Touring pros are great but not necessary, but not De La Hoya vs. George Lopez. That made my eyes bleed. Maybe Donnie J plays someone...

de la hoya was pretty good. He hit an amazing chip shot from off the green, the ball had so much spin on it that it looked like a tour pro hit it.

as I understand, Trump is a fantastic golfer.

Maybe so, but if I remember correctly, in Rick Reilly's

Who's Your Caddy , when he carried DJ's bag, the scoring was one of those "what golf course was he playing?" deals.
