I got my copy of GolfWorld magazine yesterday. It has an ad for the next BB show. As you might have guessed from the spots following BB Sandals, it picked the contestants you most wanted to be booted off the show for about the last three or four years. You know, the ones whose personalities and attitudes needed more work than their short game?

I won't go over who they are, but one look at the photo and you'll immediately recall at least nine or ten of them.

Honestly, I really don't know if I'll be able to watch.

As a guy, I would hate to have to explain this show to any non-golfer watching this. How could you convince anyone that most guy golfers are not douchebags like every one of these guys appear to be.

Shirt domination.... I'm still giggling a little bit myself, I admit. Carling is sitting here still laughing her azz off and pouring me gin and tonics.

I personally think Brian is the funniest BB contestant ever. I think they should bring him back for every season, including the all women seasons just to listen to him talk and see if he could eventu

Given the personalities involved I think it might be the most interesting BB yet. I'll be watching. BTW some of them are pretty good sticks and might see some great shots.

I got nervous when I saw this thread and thought that I hadn't set my DVR in time! I will be watching for sure! I think I really got into this show just waiting for a massive blowup from some of these contestants that they are bringing back. Oh ya, and the golf too

The most amusing thing about the Big Break: Dominican Republic promos is how Lori is positioned in the group title card: on SD television screens, she is cropped out of the frame entirely.

In my UnderArmour Links stand bag...

Woods: SasQuatch 17° 4-Wood (stiff graphite shaft)

I hated him when the show first started, but after a few episodes I came to realize that more of the contestants were even bigger d-bags than Guiliani. Love or hate him, I think he was more real than most of the other contestants on that season.

As for this show in general, I couldn't be more excited...these guys are what kept the show exciting. More than often, it's not the golf thats fun to watch on this show, IMO.

Like breaking the glass windows? The only windows I can find are on the houses next to the course. Think they will mind?

For positioning in that photo, Big Break producers obviously handicapped the women based on looks. That's why Lori is off the (SD) screen, as someone put it, and Brenda is one position inside her. I agree with their top seed, Christina Lecuyer. After that I'd quarrel and put Elena second, then Blair followed by Sara. Big Break used Blair second, then Sara and Elena. I'm confident they would have placed Elena above Sara if Elena hadn't been ousted so early in Sandals Resorts, in fact the first one out, and therefore mostly forgotten.

Andrew followed by Brian was the logical ordering for the men, in terms of high profile and unique. Three others played the jerk role and "Football" was brought back for the same reason Elena was, booted too early after the producers saw promise.

BTW, apparently this will be a vastly different format, a team competition split by gender with 6 players per team and no one booted. You're wasting your time rooting for Andrew or anyone else to get kicked off. The winner will be the MVP of the winning team. How that is determined will be one of the plot lines, I'm sure.

Well, I haven't seen this one get started yet so, lets get with it.

I've gotta go with my sweetie, Sara Brown!! The sweetheart of the links just cause she's so damned cute.

Tell you guys what, The guys that pick someone to win and gets disqualified first have to buy all the guys that pick the winner a sleeve of balls. What do you think?

Duffy,

Striving every day to be the person my dogs think I am.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
