Spent my honeymoon at a resort in Riviera Maya. It wasn't the same one they are playing at, but it was close so I got to see some of the golf course. It was absolutely beautiful. This was in 2007, but I am sure the course will be just as lovely...and the women won't hurt

I stayed and played at the course the first year it opened. Yes, it was a fantastic track.

I posted a thread and didn't see there was this one made already, anyways, I own a small golf glove company (I won't mention the name as I don't want to get banned for free promoting) and our pro golfer Jason Seymour is on the show this year and it airs on May 13th 9ET. Here is his Bio from the Golf Channel.

He is @thagolfer on twitter. If you would like to show your support, that would be very cool. Thanks

Would be cool if he makes it. Respects the dress code, but brings his own "flair" with those tats. Seems to be pretty chill as well, but we'll see how he and everyone else are once the gloves come off.

Let me ask the most important question. Are any of the chicks hot?

Some of them seem to be pretty good looking, but it's looking like this season having players who really have the skills is more important than just picking a lot of hot chicks with nice "assets".

[CoreyKasif]

Its funny because my buddy who is on the show said during the audition, all the girls were in their best hoochie gear. The girls on the show this year are cute, but can kill it on the golf course. Most are on the symetra tour or just graduated and played in college.

That's a ratings killer.

Going to Mexico and staying this resort on May 11th-18th!!! Get 2 free rounds at this course for staying for 7 days there. Can't wait!! Unfortunately my wife doesn't play golf so I will probably be playing by myself, but I don't think I can complain

Did you really mean that?!!

























I kid, I kid!

We need Sara Brown to jump in here and give us some of the behind the scene info on the contestants, cocktail parties, the cat fights, etc.

El Dorado Casitas Royale. That place was fantastic. Adults only so no kids running around all over the beach. Our own swim up bar (you leave your hut and enter a lazy river you swim around to your own bartender). All inclusive so several adult beverages were consumed. We plan to go back to celebrate our 10th (will be 5 years this June).

They can if they are good enough to be a pro and get their " Big Break "...

That's what I feel is a Big Break.

easy, you give up am status once you get picked for the show.

Would just be nice if they did something like this that wasn't a bunch of professionals already... Say a bunch of good amateur players.. All of those people are pros already. It's not a Big Break..
[/quote]

A bunch of good amateurs need more than a break, they need a game. It would be pointless to have fifteen 4 handicaps playing to play in a PGA Tour event. It would do nothing for their "career" as they have no chance of playing professionally.

Now I do think it would be a cool to have a show with regular everyday golfers playing for prizes, but it would have to be different than Big Break.

Looks like another nice group of "talent"

Bahahahahahahahaha. Nice. I usually go to:

Thanks, you local?

[HackerVance]

I think that the show is fine, but , I don't watch it much. The contrived attitude interviews with the contestants bother me. It is interesting that when the female competitors are hitting the ball the camera always treats it as a T and A shot.

[PZero]

I almost forgot, but tonight is the first episode of BB Mexico.

I hope it's a good season.

[ukalum]

I stayed at the Iberostar Grand Paraiso for a week and played this course as well. The resort is absolutely over the top, and the Pete Dye course was impressive. This will be an interesting season to watch.

A couple things after the first episode

Chad is a tool

Taylor is very attractive

The format this season is terrible

[geauxWRX]

I belonged to a club chad worked at so I have played many rounds. He is a very good player but acts very strange sometimes.

I wonder if Tom Abbot's face will be allergic to something in Mexico.
[/quote]

Now this, this is funny.

[Yepyukon]

I know he was trying to be funny, but Chad came across as a tool.

I actually like the format of this show, we will get to see golf from some people for more than just 1 shot and go home.

I play and coach at Jay Woodson's home course. He's given a few of my players lessons and always speaks to the team at the beginning of the season. A real great guy who will hopefully win this thing.
[/quote]

Jay is a great player, Ive played a couple of times with him. Watch out for him to win it. What course do you coach at?
[/quote]

I played with Jay at Lakewood Golf Club in Harrisonburg several years ago. Great player and very nice person.

I think he's just freaking weird. Clearly all of that helps him get into the zone, but it would certainly make for an annoying round.

Some of the ladies are looking a-OK.

Was interesting seeing how quickly some of the players started feeling the pressure as the challenges began.

He just got through Local Qualifying for the US Open as medalist. I caddied for him. Very impressive round given he wasn't hitting it great. Played the last 6 holes 4 under including an eagle on the last hole.
