Big Break VII Official Thread

[Q.Q.Quillume]

He might as well be 40; according to the Big Break page on www.thegolfchannel.com , DD was 38 in February. DOB = 2/9/69.
38 is very old to be kicking around the Hooters Tour, especially when he's going nowhere fast at that level.

What's Don's real job, please tell me it's not golf, dosen't sound like he's making money doing this.

Tommy qualified for the Wachovia Championship today via the Monday qualifier. He's going to play a practice round with JD and VJ in the morning.

Seems he did. Wow. Congrats to him. He may outclass Donatello tenfold.

Last week on the show Tommy got up and down 3 times in a row in the elemination challenge. That was by no means luck, the kid has a short game! I don't like his long game, his swing looks like a goofy Peter Jacobsen imitation of Arnold Palmer but as Harvey Penick said, A player with a good short game is a match for anyone.

Congrats To Tommy for making the big dance this week at Wackovia!

Yea, I will be watching intently to see if he gets any airtime... It sure would be cool to see him do well. He seems like a nice guy, and he sure is clutch.

[lamebums]

So, this time, Don's gone... good riddance, I think. I didn't like the guy, anyway.

I too hope he does well... He's kinda fun to watch with that swing.

MARK MY WORDS: DON IS GOING TO TAKE THIS THING

The good news -- we marked your words. And you couldn't have been more wrong. Heck, DD didn't even make the final four!

And the bad news: with Pam & Donatello gone there is nobody left for me to pull against !

[tembolo381]

DD is a totaly bonehead ahahaha. Guess the pressure just got to him.

Wow go Tommy, let's hope he makes the cut, does well, and makes some money.

[CMW]

Go Tommy! My money is on Dave going down next.

Ding Dong the Donatello is Dead.

WOOHOO!!!!

[AMGfan]

Ding Dong the Donatello is Dead.

I just got done watching the episode...Is it me or none of their games worthy of a tour exemption? DD is an arrogant arse and will never make a dent on any tour based on his temperent and overcompensation...he just gets in his own way.

[GoFlyers]

Because of DD age I don't think he has a chance on any tour until he is qualified for the Senior Tour.
He will be missed in the last few episodes. I really thought it would be DD and Tommy in the finals.
Last night was a huge surprise.

Good riddance to DD!!!! I agree with AMGfan, I don't think any of these players deserve an exemption.

[Matt P]

Wow...can't believe he didn't use the exemption.

A. If you don't use it and lose, you lose money and are out.

B. If you use it you move on it is up for grabs and if DD was as overconfident in his skills as we all know he is/was then he would pick it up again.

C. Use it and go on to the next round...there are no guranatees you will win.

D. If he really was that on edge/emotional that day, which was probably was only increased by winning the truck, why not use the exemption and hope for a better day.

Not using it and choking made him look like a fool...arrogance karma?

That was almost as stupid as Marty Morninweg taking the wind in an overtime Lions v. Bears game.

[jrbechthold]

Exemptions aside... kudos for Tommy for pulling off the Monday Qualifier for Wachovia. Anyone who "has game" probably doesn't need the exemption in the first place though right? Hence the whole "Big Break".

[Ogg]

Did not get to see the show last night but I will be sure to watch tonight. Congrats to Tommy as well for qualifying. I will be pulling for him.
