Man I love some of the crap that comes out of Brain's mouth!!!! "Ive built a swing in the last 3 months that can win PGA Tour events. Do you know anybody else who can do that? Becasue I dont. Only I can do that."

Yeah, he definitely thinks highly of himself. Honestly though, the way he played on the show this seaons, I would be shocked if he broke 80 at normal courses, let alone courses on Tour.

BTW, if you want to follow Sara Brown at Q School, she's the "Sarah Brown" without an "h":

Thanks for the link to this. I was looking for it.

Looks like she has a chance if she can continue the consistent play!

I know that ALL of you are big Carling Coffing fans... And that she was not even on BBDR... But she's playing in Dubai this week with her second BB tournament exemption. She won the Pro-Am, finished second with partner Michelle Wie in a 9 hole charity event, and is currently tied for seventh at -3 after two rounds. Girl is gonna make some $.

did she gain weight? i was watching and it looks like her legs are much thicker, not the lithe little things they were on BB

I think you're correct. She does look a little heftier but it looks good. I think that girl could make it. Sara too.

Duffy,

Carling finished 75,74 at T22. Still a darn good showing in that field from a player with not a lot of big-time event experiance and I'm thinking still a pretty good pay day. And the world got to got to see two birdie dances on the TV coverage! The Euro comentaters were wowed. Hope she can break through to the big tour which desperately needs players with real personality who can win.

Looks like Sara (no h) Brown qualified by shooting 74 in the final round.

Sarah (with an h) Brown choked her guts out or something and shot 83 to finish T44.

Translation is that Sara from Big Break earned her LPGA Tour card on the number (she's now going to Spain to play in the final stage of European LPGA Qualifying). Carling sent out some photos from Dubai... Didn't notice much of a difference... She's a workout nut though, who knows.

Skatel is still an interesting character, an assistant Pro with no colon in PA or wherever, and has a swing that can win professional tournaments no doubt about it. He still does not miss four footers... Ever.

Yeah, I wonder why she's going over. Pretty sad state of affairs that you can consider dual membership, but maybe she's thinking that with all the breaks the LPGA season has in it, getting two just makes sense.

Wasn't it funny when they awarded Blair 10 points at the end of the next-to-last show for having no strikes? The players seemed surprised by it, as if the reward came from nowhere. I maintain that Big Break wanted to have one of the prettier girls leading the pack!

Awarding a player and exemption (Dubai) that directly conflicts with the final qualifying stage for the LPGA Tour is a bit crazy imo. I don't think the show has ever awarded a tournament exemption with that kind of conflict have they??

I wish the Golf Channel would do a "Big Break: Where are they now?" show for all of the contestants across the different seasons to see who's still trying to make it professionally, who has made it professionally, who's given up, and who's flipping burgers and delivery pizzas. Would be great to watch.

 

In my Mizuno Aerolite IV Stand Bag:

Driver: Titleist 910D2 (9.5°, RIP Alpha 70S)
Wood: Titleist 910F (15°, RIP Alpha 70S)

Irons: Mizuno MP-68 Irons (3 - PW, C-Taper S+), Mizuno MP-33 2 Iron (C-Taper S+)

Wedges: Vokey Spin Milled (56.11 - Bent to 54°, 60.07 Tour Chrome, C-Taper S+ DSS)

Putter: Scotty Cameron Newport 2 (34")

Ball: Titleist Pro-V1x

GPS: Garmin Approach g5

Most useful training aids (for me) that I use: Tour Striker Pro 7 Iron, Swingyde, Tour Sticks alignment sticks, Dave Pelz Putting Tutor

I wonder if a lot of brian's cocky attitude is played up to make him hated. People love watching stuff like that. Its good for ratings.

Brian blogged as such, and that he was playing it up a bit.... But it seemed like a ton of revisionist attitude to me, perhaps written well after some episodes had aired and he was cautious about how it was all being perceived?

Anyone can play it up for the cameras a bit on these types of shows, but the guy did it FAR to many times, and even did so during the HEAT of elimination challenges on multiple occasions. Simply not believable that he was playing a character. Perhaps the most telling being the fingers scraping the green situation, his changing excuses a few times during the episode, then blogging Sara was right even after the official ruling was WEEKS OLD. The idea for a "where are they now" show is brilliant, and should be sent to The Golf Channel.

Does anyone know anything about the next BB? When? Where? Will Brian be on it?

I saw a promo for it during the Shark Shootout yesterday and Brian's face did flash by on the screen. What that means I do not know.

iirc, more than a dozen faces were on the promo... far more than the # of contestants we have seen in recent seasons.

    • This is pretty much how I look at it.  I understand there are times when the piece of mind has value. I think over the long haul I'm money ahead by never buying the extended warrantee. Hell, What do I know? I went to Ch!cago PubIic SchooIs.

    • On my car I got the extended power train warranty. I do read the fine print most of the time. Though at now 37, my eyes aren’t what they were 10 years ago.    The problem with most of these extended warranties on electronics and appliances is you don’t register the warranty with the place you buy the warranty from, which I’ve always found strange. Unless it’s GameStop then you know Alina drops her Switch in the next two years and the screen cracks they’ll replace it. No questions asked.    You buy a slow cooker at Walmart for $50 and the extended warranty is say $6, you have to go through a third party to register your product for the warranty, and it’s pretty damn annoying. Target is the same way. Anything you buy the extended protection on you have to go through a third party.    Why do retailers go through a “broker” for warranties? Because they don’t wanna deal with it? They make me talk to someone from another country, that I can barely understand, when I need my warranty fulfilled.   Sorry for the rant.
    • You may be able to find a regular flex Blueboard on the second hand market. I’m little more than half your age so I swing a shaft that launches pretty low so I don’t have a lot of experience with Regular flex (other than when I try to hit it I miss way to the left).    There are other shafts, such as the newer Ping Alta that I’ve heard good things about. And one that no one talks about. The Jupiter shaft. You can get this shaft for a $100 with a grip and your Ping adapter installed. I was talking to the golf manager at Dick’s Sporting Goods here and he has one in his driver and has nothing but good things to say about it. I thought about getting one for my Paradym Triple Diamond to play it a little shorter, but haven’t pulled the trigger yet.
