Big Break IV

TourPro21 · October 27, 2005

i stopped watching the big break after the second episode of the first season... there's no way in hell that any of those guys should receive any kind of tournament exemptions... guys that like are a dime a dozen... for ever guy on tour there are 5000 guys who "have game"... people just dont understand how good those tour guys really are...

After Tommy went to the Van De Velde suite, Bart mentioned that "you got to play St. Andrews two weeks before the Open". I am not sure which open he was referring to, but I would think they only had the grandstands because of the upcoming Open.

i told you it was film in mid june around fathers day in another post. yes this it was right before the Open.. no one was allowed on the course but the BB'ers. and they only played 18 and the bunker shot on 17

Great episode last night. They are finally realizing that we want to see some golf. DD was great. Yelling after the putt was definitly encouraged by the producers. I don't want to hear about the ball thing. Phil did the same thing a few years back but he was yelling at fans who found the ball. I think we can all admit now that DD can play some golf. First hole with a piped drive then the 20 footer. Then hitting the pin to 2 feet after the lost ball (ended up not helping them, but that was a nice shot).
Overall i like what they're doing with more real golf and less gimmicks.

Let's discuss.

The whole show SUCKS!!!! Playing for Mulligans!!! President Clinton should be playing in this thing ask that guy KIP if they gave him any Mulligans in the events he played in.

Stupid crap play GOLF!!! anyone that played tournament golf would know there is more to the game than this show brings out!!! You can be lucky and not real lucky and win.

For get the match play and Mulligans and play serious golf I don't care if they have a par 3 contest but count everything.

Tommy Two Gloves did make it through the first stage of Q-School, in played at Florence Country Club in Florence, South Carolina. He finished in eigth place (out of the 21 that made it). He shot: 73-70-70-66 - 279 (-1).

Article here: Golf Week

Hope he plays well in the next couple stages!

Cheers, Bryan

Yeah, I am wishing him the best aswell! The course must have been a pretty tough track, because I have seen a couple locations (one which a WRX member played in), that 8 or 9 under didn't get it! A couple over got in here. Anyways great playing T2G, and best of luck to you in the next couple stages, what a cinderella story that would be :D

Those are 2004 results, 2 gloves played at kannapolis in 2005 and shot a 77 first round and did not advance. Last year he advanced through first stage but didnt get past 2nd.

You're right. I saw Tommy at Kannapolis CC this year and he did not make it out of first stage, however he has been to finals before.

Tommy can play with anyone but the rest of that cast is suspect at best.

Anybody watch the new episode tonight? I thought it was pretty good and some impressive shots were made. It was nice to see them play some more 'real' golf.

And just out of curiosity does anybody know the rating or slope of the Carnoustie course that they are playing? Looks like a challanging course, but maybe thats just to a newbie like myself.

The three holes that they played in tonight episode looked REALLY easy. I understand the the wind was blowing and the rough is long, but come on...short iron into a par five...sand wedge par 3...and a drive and pitch par four. You gotta get those done in par or better to be at the tour level.

ps ~ I Love The Show!!!

BridgestoneKevin · November 2, 2005

yeah, they must have been playing from the ladies tees or somthing, because none of those guys are very long at all. the american capt. took a 2 iron hybrid and was still only 90 yards away on a par 4.... They were talking about driving the green? they better not think thats how the euro tour will be like.

Placebo · November 2, 2005

Didn't they say the par 5 was 500 yards? Then one of the second shots was like 180 in so that would equate to a 320 yard drive! Yup, had to be from the ladies tee's.

With a wind at their back that looked like it was at least 15-20 mph. It was really blowing, and blowing with them on all 3 holes.

Being a nooby to the sport I'm not too familiar with Carnousti or the guys that are on BBIV but in your opinions are these guys really good? And if so, are they good enough to compete in the Euro Tour or even the PGA Tour?

Um no, in general they are not very good.

Tommy is good and is 1st or 2nd on the Gateway tour in the Carolinas, but his swing is horrendous.

The Europens are much better than the Americans, although none of them are anything special. Guy does however have one of the best swings ever in my opinion.

I was thinking the same thing that they didn't seem to be that great, but wasn't sure if it was my lack of golf knowledge.

But I don't get it, if they aren't good why have them come on the show, offer them a tour exemption, and a Bridgestone contract?

freddiec · November 2, 2005

I can't explain it, but the 3 american guys left are bizzare to me. The blonde kid from MA, granted he probably would whip me 2 days out of 3, but his swing is weird, Randall has a good swing, but his head is I dont' know where. His comentary is priceless. And the captain, he is probably a legit 2, but come on. I thought these guys were supposed to be players. Landing a wedge 35 yds short of the green on the last? Come on.
