Speaking of past competitors...does anybody know how Petey (from the last season of Big Break)'s career has been coming along?  The Indian dude that got booted, then brought back, then eliminated again.

I'm rooting for Mallory .      Not sure how she manages an inside out swing with her attributes ... but it'll be fun to watch.     I think everybody was rooting for that GQ guy to get booted off

although i do agree with you on the matchup i feel as if this season if anything is about knowing how to be creative, and having the feel for the game to cope with the conditions. you cant have little golf skill and still be able to hit a thin fairway or green a shot with 30-40 mph winds. or hitting those fulls shots the same distance while trying to keep the ball low. gotta land the ball precisely in a spot where you know you have enough room for the release, or it will just roll for days. also being able to putt from up to 60 feet from off the green is quite impressive. phil would do fantastic cause he can putt from just about anywhere. irish/scottish links golf is pure golf. although id love to play it, it would be a dream, idk if i have the confidence in my putter yet to will myself to an even half decent score. you saw it alot this show. making putts during the tough conditions and making good reads. takes focus and mental strength. thats kinda why i think mark can win this. hes a straight brawler against the course. sending haymakers. but julian isnt far off..we saw that lastnight. its gonna be a good matchup and i think it could pan out to be more emotional and intense than the show has been over the past few weeks

Wow. Canadians have game. Derek Gillespie made some moves too and won PEI.

If Julien wins, I think I've figured out the secret to winnings these co-ed Big Break seasons now ....

I'm good friends with Sara Brown. I grew up with Taryn Durham. It was fun for me to watch that season because I knew a lot of them. I didn't watch too much prior to that. I did watch Indian Wells and was happy to see David Byrne win. he seems like a great guy.

Per capita, no, we really don't. We're a winter sports nation, and even then countries like Finland and Sweden produce top end hockey talent at a higher rate. Canada claims to have more "avid" golfers than any other country, but compare our production of top golfers to a country like Australia. I wonder how the top 100 Canadians would fare against the top 100 Aussies? What if we got pit our top 100 against their 1000th through 1100th ranked players. I might plunk a $2 coin on Canada in that event . . . might.

Oh that. Yeah, our winters are very long and cold so we learn at a young age that doubling up increases our survival rates.

Still waiting to see some good golf from these two. They have shown flashes, but to say either one of them has a chance on any sort of tour is a joke from the terrible golf I have seen. Anyway, should be a fun final show to watch.

Given that Julien is dating Mal I would have thought his balls would be blue rather than yellow....Still want Mark to bring it home...

Considering Julien won the top prize already, I say he should throw his match against Mark.

Now, from the preview it sounds like there's going to be an 18 hole final.  That's awesome, I've been waiting to just see lots of golf from these guys.   Anyone know if its match or stroke play... (Julien's gonna get plenty of stroke play already.. oh yeah!..)

I dunno if she's a gold digger, but I think she's far more likely to be dating the winner than the runner-up. Also, I'm going with the Twitter theory (used to success by someone here for BB Indian Wells) to say Julien wins it. He's been very active over the last few weeks.

i figured julian had a better chance to win only because last week he played very strong...he looked confident.

mark has the heart and will to win it....they both have self destructive tendencies as well. which from the commercials...seems to be very much possible to happen. which one though, that im unsure of..

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT · Posted

      Day 33 (13 Dec 25) - Worked on weight shift and resetting the left heel during downswing (after listening to a discussion on Golf School this morning on PGA Tour Radio).  It centered on how Jack Nicklaus lifted his lead heel and how long driver champs do as well.  Taking cues from that discussion, worked an exaggerated feel of the left heel working doing some swing drill in the backyard using the 7i.  Wrapped up the session by hitting a few low bump and run shots in the backyard - keeping the process slow and exaggerated.

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By iacas · Posted

      It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…
