Andrew is starting to act a little "Andrew-ish.". It didn't bother me last time he was on. This time, it is a bit annoying.

If the girls are smart, they'll never put brian in a benching challenge. That guy is the downfall of the mens team. Everyone here has I'm sure had their own game feel a little weird when someone in the group is blowing up after every swing.

Some truth to that. But there is value to the women in reducing the mens' numbers, as we saw on the last show, regardless of who. Brian is surely the "low hanging fruit", or nut if you prefer. But I have to agree he is a distracting element and least team oriented of the men and so has some value to the women as long as he is playing. But even if they bench Brian he won't shut up and will continue to be a distraction so it is limited value to the women to let him stay active. In fact one of the factors in this format is that the teams are going to have to learn how to "meld" the personalities of the individuals into a team. So far the women have accomplished this better than the men. Individual players don't go away even when they are benched like Dave was. They just can't play, but certainly can still talk.

I don't understand the need for the women to tell the ball to sit constantly for every shot. Is that a catch all phrase? I didn't notice as much until somebody just had to point it out on TST.

It was the same way in the Sandals Resort season.

Maybe all the "sitting" has to do with the ladies slightly lower aptitude for spinning the ball a TON, and have it back up to the pin? Plenty of one hop and stop type shots, but not too many ladies sucking it back to the hole. Then again, Sara hits em so close the announcer will never be able to say "(guy's name) is inside Sara Brown!"

If the men get a chance to pick their opponent again they need to pick Elena. Its soooo easy to get inside her head. Just look at the previews for this week when she is sitting there saying "I hope we make them eat their words". She seems more concerned about making the men look bad then worrying about her own game/her teams game.

How clutch is Sarah Brown? Damn. I turned up my nose initially at the "hit it past the prior ball" challenge but I actually liked it once it got going. 12 shots is astonishing from the Posse.

Benching challenge still to come....

Is it me or does Lori age 10 years when she is painted up and doing sit down interviews w the camera? As opposed to Lori on the golf course with some shades?

One of the guys (Blake?) mentioned that the delay will work against Elena, and he may be right. There is an ego there.

But in the preview of next ep, Andrew is in the background while Brian is melting down. He looks extremely disinterested.... Benched for good perhaps?

New strategy for the guys --- if they win the team challenge, send Brian out to play until he eliminates himself. Either he loses and gets a strike, or magically gives one to a girl. WIN-WIN.

I believe it will work against her. Her ego will be gigantic by the time she goes out and it will get in her way, hopefully. I saw the same clip but what I took notice to is that I didn't see Elena so I took that as she was benched.

NOOOOOOOO! Brian is way too entertaining. I laugh every time I hear him talk about how good he is or how he's the best at a certain (almost all) shot. It's almost unbelievable that he really says that stuff.

Blake has really turned his attitude around this time. I couldn't stand him during his first appearance. This time I hope he goes far if he keeps his attitude going the way he is.

Why would they end the episode in the rain delay. I was really looking forward to the benching challenge but I guess we have to wait another week.

    • Day 120 - Played 18; much better than yesterday. Miss right now is off the heel of the club, so I need to sort that out. 
    • Today we played Pease Golf Course in Portsmouth, NH. Course was in great shape but my game didn't show up. I will say I pitched and chipped fairly well but almost everything else was very hit or miss. Cost myself a lot hitting an in play drive with pulling my approach shots maybe 85% of the time. Finally figured out I had been swaying most of the round. Only took me until 13 to figure it out. Used what felt like a much more centered turn and the ballstriking improved. 18 tomorrow using a 2 man scramble format. Just looking to contribute. Been a blast though. 
    • Day 22: Hit balls with 7-iron using mevo+ to track dispersion. Was out for a long time after work; 86 balls but the first 50+ were 50% swings focusing on top of backswing feel and then just hitting the ball as a psychic reward. Finished with 20 balls close to full speed. Pretty happy with dispersion and also no horrendous misses. I’m chunking my priority piece out into two separate feels, first and more important is the position/balance at top of backswing which is what I was working on. Once I have that engrained I’ll move to transition part. 
    • FWIW I never really had issues with the previous generation of Snells. But… I'm not sure I played them a ton, either.
    • I know Dean Snell designed the original Pro V along with a couple of other brands tour balls.  How exactly does the Snell ball have problems.  Did he change something in the design or is a manufacturing error since he cannot afford the unlimited R&D budgets of the big manufacturers to iron out flaws
