For the love of God when is the Golf Channel going to stop showing repeats of the Big Break 3? We get it, Danielle won, it's over and (probably) so is her short lives LPGA career. Give it a rest all ready. It's like Queer Eye for the Straight Guy or West Wing on Bravo or Law and Order (any version) on TNT. Everytime you turn around it on. I bet between Big Break 3, all versions of Law and Order, Queer Eye for the Straight Guy and The West Wing, that you could constan;y watvh those shows for 24 hrs a day, 18hrs at least.

Can't the Golf Channel run some highlight reeels from the 1979 Masters or US Open? They seem pretty fond of Tiger, show some of his highlights. Anything but the Big Break 3 for the 2,554,651,685,532,549,986,498,521,359,721,138,543,521,545,846,913 time.
Please I beg you, I would rather watch Tom Nettles interview anyone than sit through another episode of the Big Break 3.

The Natalie Gublis Reality Show?

I agree. I have had my fill of ol' Danni Girl! I tried to watch the "Danni Special" with no luck...she is more annoying than these repeated threads about how annoying she is!

Off topic: I watched the final match of Big Break II (missed it before). It was much more exciting than the BBIII match from a strictly golf perspective. I remember not liking Double-D but after watching the finale you could really see how much it meant to him. What really surprised me was that the in-studio "extra" prize (1 exemption, I think) went to Bart! They really should have given that to Double-D....similar reaction to the BBIII finale when Pam appeared to get absolutely nothing. That show has some strange prize policies.

The "extra" prize was automatic invite for the next (male) Big Break. I think the reason was the fact, that Bart won all skills challange but one, during the eliminations - he was always the exempt player -> the best player?

Losing a 3-hole match play... hm.... with just a little bit of luck I could beat Tiger on 3 hole matchplay . Of course more you play, less likely weaker player will win, but on 3 holes? I guess the organizers realized, that Bart was the best and missed out by one lucky shot by Skip (stuck the 9i to 2 ft). Pam should get an award though, I agree. I propose a book on golf etiquette and proper gamesmanship

    • Day 22 - 2026-01-11 More mirror work. Back outdoors tomorrow.
    • Day 11, 1/11/26.  Today was putting, along about 6' of carpet, with coins on the ground to keep me cognizant of what I'm doing.  I think this is the at-home drill from LSW. (Ugh, missed two of the last four days -- 1/10 and 1/8)
    • Day 9: 2026.01.11 Hit some balls at the range, concentrating on weight distribution at address, got some on film.
    • Day 468 - 2026-01-11 Loooooong day. Did some work in the patio door (as a mirror) when I got home.
    • I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
