That's the case with every reality series.  Bottom line is the producers don't make this stuff up (at least not usually), Rob said these things on video so he has to own them.  Of course the producers do some creative editing so the contestants fit a certain role within the show, but more often than not, the contestants personalities make it easy for them to do so.

Tiger Woods has come in 50th place in golf tournaments...does that mean there are 50 better golfers than him? The Browns beat the defending Super Bowl champions 3 years in a row, does that mean

Great episode last week.  I would have preferred to see Brent and Jay in the final.  I'd like to see a 9 hole match play decide the finalists when they get down to the final four.  Four holes still le

Brent probably would have won with a full 18, as he only had one bad hole, a couple so-so holes, and one good hole.  I believe if they played full 18-hole, multiple day match play events, Brent and Ja

Love Big Break, best show besides Golf on the Golf Channel. Jason: Wow, this guy loves to piss people off, plays very slow... Brent & Jay: these guys seem to stand apart from the crowd to me. Also, Tommy Gainey from BB season 1 is in contention for the Traveler's Cup, let's hope he does good!

I hate watching that guy swing a club. Makes me hurt.

Jason whined a lot last night about not being included in team decisions but that was because he was only interested in protecting himself and not winning as a team.  The girls really stepped up their game, looks like we're going to see some good golf going forward.

Jason was probably the weakest and whiniest golfer left so I wasn't disappointed to see him leave.

Yeah I have to agree. This is actually the first season I've watched, but it's been interesting so far. Brent is good man...real good.

Jason was lucky to survive elimination day.  Everybody that's still on the show except Chad seems pretty solid so it ought to be interesting from here on.

I love this show and most of the people that are on it. The only thing I kind of hoped for was to have 2 winners, (man and woman). I enjoy having both genders combined into one show, but I'd prefer if each gender had a winner. Does anyone else agree or am I by myself on this one? lol

They pulled this move at the end of Big Break: Dominican Republic. A female won the overall season, so she got all the prizes, the money, and the exemption into an LPGA event. But as a last second surprise, they awarded the top guy an exemption into a PGA Tour event -- and yea, he cried.

Happy to see people getting eliminated. I'm sure Jason Seymour's probably a nice guy but he was painful to watch. I still can't get over how good looking the women are :)

I really enjoy Big Break. Jason was on Big Break Academy last night. He was just as boring on there as he was on the actual show. Some neat swing tips came up that I plan to try my next outing to the range.

My big question is this: If a Tiger or a Phil was on the show, could they do these challenges in their sleep? (like the walls or glass break for example) Love the show. I just believe that pro Golfers are molded from years of practice as if it was their job (because it is)

Yeah they'd probably make these guys look stupid. Haha.

I'm guessing Phil would do pretty well on the flop wall challenge

I'd guess Phil and Bubba would probably do pretty well at all these challenges because they like to visualize shots and be creative.  I'd think Tiger, Donald and many others would struggle with the flop wall more because they wouldn't typically ever practice this type of shot.  The glass break would be easy for any pro, they have very good control over their trajectory and direction.

Dude, hide that or just plain delete it. I'm sure not everyone saw that, don't ruin it for them.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 159 1-19 Flow drill while attempting to add arch in wrist on downswing. Not where it needs to be but felt good working on swing flow.

      Day 1 (19 Jan 26) - after a week lay-off due to travels, felt great to get in some drills in the backyard today.  Started with lead arm only short pitches focused on squared face and light divot post ball.  Haven’t done this in a while and it showed, with some skulls and slices.  Settled into easy flighted balls - wrapped up with standard two handed swings.  Good restart to the daily drills.

      That depends what you do within those two.  Are they your only options?   Check out Fit for Golf if you get a moment.  It's linked on the sidebar;  I did it for two years, stopped for a really bad reason, and I plan to get back to it soon.   Mike Carroll also has a great free podcast about a lot of topics in golf fitness.

      Day 19, 1/19.  Finished work in time to spend 25 minutes hitting balls (hit 15) indoors, off a mat, into the net.  Usual focus.

      Day 30 - 2026-01-19 Got 10 minutes in on the mat / net working on exagerrating movements I'm working on. And grip. Also worked with my friendly AI to summarize key negative tendencies I have so that I can build a personal checklist to follow. Will do more mirror work tonight.
