Wow. That's amazing that you made it. Congratulations. I really hope you win. I'll definitely be tuning in this season

I'm pretty sure I know which one is you, assuming one of them is you.  If so, congratulations.

If you win the show, and do well in your prize tournaments, maybe you'll be the next in a line of guys who served in the Marines and later joined the PGA Tour.

The video doesn't load for me.  At least it hasn't in the 10 minutes the browser window has been open.  I'm guessing that he's the guy in the video named Norm or Norman.

There are several people profiled in it;  I didn't catch names for any of them in the video.  One person has an obvious military background;  he is who I think matches our friend.

Maybe you need to keep it all quiet running up to it - but give us the details when you can - it will be great to have an insiders view.

Usually on the Big Break there is a complete dick or two that you want to lose - it was hard to pick anyone from the intro! Good luck and enjoy the experience!

Also assuming that is you in the last profile, that is AWESOME!  Way to start the promoting off for the new season, they tell you to post that?  Congratulations and kick butt!  Once all is said and done, you'll have to tell us how the whole process went.  I'd give up a lot to go on that show.

Looks like a great group at first glance!  Chico Borja's kid huh?  His old man is a very well know soccer player, when the game was in its infancy in this country.  I have to pull a little for him just for that reason....

Cool, I really hope that last guy is you! It looks like they looked for some true "big break" guys this time rather then a bunch of mini tour players who are already knocking on the door

Did I miss something? Did the guy ever explicitly say he'd made it? I know he can't give out details, but he CAN say he's made it or not, and either I missed the post or he hinted at making it only... A little help here?

Nothing missed, just a lot of assumption.  I think with the last guy in the video and that fact that the OP's name is Normdamarine, people think that's him.

Congrats!  It will be interesting watching knowing one of the members of this board is on the show.  Looks like you will have a lot of fans from the beginning, including me.  Best of luck!

    • Day 22: mirror work for a while. Working on my elbow in the downswing - keeping it in a better position. 
    • Day 36 (16 Dec 25) - continued the exaggerated left foot weight shift trigger adding some easy low flighted pitches with the 5h and a few putting style bump and runs with the 5h as well.
    • Day 442 - 2025-12-16 Got some swings in at an indoor academy a little south of Erie.
    • Has anyone played the new Maxfli forged irons? For the first time in I don't know how many years, they have come out with new clubs. From what I read, Maxfli was bought by Taylor Made a long time ago which then took all of their ball making technology and patents in order to get into that market. The club business was left to whither and the reorganized company, now a part of Dicks / Golfworks / Maltby, is producing these new clubs. (Their Tour X balls which I play are really good.) Anyway, I tried them both out at Golf Galaxy. There's a player's distance iron (XC-3) and a blade (XC-2) and both feel really, really nice, almost "Mizuno-like" in their soft buttery feel and they're a bargain at $800 for a set. I'm planning to ditch my Titleist's and want to go back to a forged iron. I almost pulled the trigger on the Mizuno Pro-245's last summer, but a damaged tendon sheath in my finger combined with a back injury messed up my golf game so I held off. Now the Pro-245's are no longer available, soon to be replaced by the MX-15. (At twice the price of the Maxfli's...that's what got my attention in the first place.) If anyone has played with the new Maxfli's or just tried them out like I did, let me know what you think.
    • Day 126 12-16 Back swing and rotation work today. Didn't hit any balls. Focusing on rotating and getting to lead side.
