alot of the guys dont seem that good to me. Granted they could beat me but they are on a golf show so they have to have something special. Seen to many of them chunk sand shots and fairway shots over and over plus their swings are of average golfers. I also think its a little unfair that they have a former LPGA tour player on the girls team. That lady is good. Other than that I find the show entertaining

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

Technically, Giuliani is a pro. He hasn't made it to the PGA Tour, but he is a pro.

shes an aggressive player, I dont think Ive seen her hit a putt short yet. She always rifles them past the hole and most approach shots are above the pin

Well if no one liked the one stroke advantage the men got how about the 2 strokes the ladies got? Sure make the morning trials valuable.

Got to agree with the Carling Coffing comment posted above! (She's big into facebook if anyone is interested.....)


I do like the format of this show so far. The "chip in" bonus allowing you to erase a "benching" will be interesting. The addition of money to the benching challenges is nice..... but picking balls out of a hat for the guys to select their player week one? Weak. I want to see some persuasion, some discussion, and the added pressure on the player who has convinced his teammates he's the one and then has to go out and back it up.

I like how the ladies selected their player. That one guy was red hot for their team that day so they let him go play against that other dude in the benching challenge.

That round guy can play.

shhh.... it wasn't particularly nice. Fella's been on the LPGA tour already for crying out loud. There is something about his swing though, that is unsettling. I can't place it, but it's a bit of a Rocco Mediate, mechanical move through the ball and goofy finish maybe? Can't place it. Maybe less hip and lower body action than I'm used to seeing from players who could beat me 6 and 5. Something is less than classic about that swing.... but it's damn effective!

I heart Sara Brown as well, but I think Christina is a very close second! I think A-God is going to be the MVP on the mens if they win. He seems to have the most talent on that team.

In the last episode, when Andrew and Blake were losing to the two ladies, I figured out what was wrong (or at least looked very odd to me that I couldn't place) with Laura's swing.

It's the early collapse of the left elbow after impact, and the complete collapse of the thing later in the follow through. Still a damn fine player however, beating my ass 6 and 5 probably.

Poor Sara looked REALLY sick. At first, it was kind of "ouch look at her" moment, as we saw her not all painted up and ready for the camera. But as the show progressed and we saw more of her "I'm sick" look, I admit it.... it was kinda good.

More of a Big Break Sandals moment.... but winner Carling Coffing is playing in her LPGA event (entry earned by winning BB Sandals) THIS WEEK. She made the cut at -1 and is in about 40th place going into Saturday. More importantly, did she "birdie dance" on the LPGA Tour? Yep..... albeit a slightly toned down version.

She doesn't need spikes to keep her planted.

I am so tired of seeing F(b)lake need someone to "save his ass".

I as well am cheering for the women this season. The men are just way to aggressive and angry. It's almost like watching the men of Jersey Shore playing golf.

I just hate the whole idea of team play, this isnt the Ryder or Solheim Cup. They should have made it just like Prince Edward Island, everyone plays against everyone and someone gets eliminated on each show. I hate seeing the same people each week over and over again, waters down the whole show and makes the challenges take forever. How will we ever really know who is the best player if players on the same team never have to play against each other?

Southern IL.... Perhaps a ridiculously complicated scoring system will help? They should really get one of those.....

      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.
