I noticed Rich Beem on the GC. I thought he did a great job and was very comfortable looking. I hope he gets a permanent spot on the GC. Beem seems more like the everyday golfers that I play with is  but also has a Major  as well as many PGA victories. Beem definitely would never be accused of being a stuffed shirt like some other people I can think of.

Dittos on Rich Been he looks very comfortable in front of the camera and comes off as an average Joe. Hope he stays - just goes to show you that golf is easy when you don't wear a stuffed shift!

I went to school with him. He is exactly like he seems. He will do a great job.

Happy Gilmore was a Hack!

Let me think about that........ Okay you are a worn out golf pro now you have to have to go to work on a TV show and work along side Holly Sonders and Lauren Thompson. I can hear Rich Beem up at 6am telling his wife sorry honey got to go to work! The lucky SOB I go to work and haul lobsters traps with stinky bait. I curse myself for opting to play ice hockey instead of golf when I was growing up LOL!. Good for you Rich Beem keep up the good work!

Other than the fact that I wouldn't call 3 wins many I completely agree with you.  He is the best guy on the program, IMO.

But then again, what the hell do I know?

You are right 3 wins is not very many. I guess  I got a little carried away.

If it means less Damon Hack and Matt Ginella then I say yes. If it means less John Cook and some of the other more serious contributors then no. Still not sure I like the expanded format they started in 2013. At times the show seems like it's struggling to find an identity. They wobble between a lame attempt at golf GMA and a morning radio show. When Gary or Kelly run things it gets a little too morning zoo for me. The days they're not there it's all business. I think they're struggling to find personalities that mesh. Rich offers a different personality but he's already getting into the zaniness and it seems once the show goes down that road they lose focus and it becomes a boring exchange of underhanded jibes. Doesn't take me long to click over and watch reruns of Supernatural as I workout. If I didn't need a distraction to fend of the monotony of spending a half hour on a spin bike I wouldn't watch at all.

Not sure if I know who these guys are ... is one of them the guy with the dark hair a and thick, dark goatee?  If so, I totally agree with you!  That guy bugs me.

Oh, and Rich Beem seemed like he'd be pretty good at this job over the weekend.  I could listen to him some more.

      The MTB Prime and Prime X had issues with the cover being too soft and getting cut too easily. They said it was more prevalent in the Prime than the Prime X which I found odd because that was the exact opposite of my experience.

      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.
