One of the young Canadian men has a mom with cancer and Rheumatoid Arthritis and is being treated with Chemo. His mom is cute, but she must also be a saint as she works 40-70 hours a week. Should he really be golfing? Your opinion?

One of the young men is Bermudian and spent his life with his family foraging for food. He works in a pro shop and he had earned a track scholarship. He plays 9 holes at lunch....running! How do you guys think he'll do?

I see what I am up against based on the comments of the more serious "playahs" in the crowd. My light hearted whimsy has not quite penetrated the firmament of LBG.

Sadly, I personally was distracted from the program as I was trying some of the exercises on Golf Fitness and I got a phone call from a uhhm friend, yeah, uhhm Morgan Fairchild, yeah, that's the ticket.

When I see the on demand replay I will write a summary.

City,
No explanations are required. You'll just dig deeper. Keep moving and we'll eventually catch up.
Peace, brother.

Well after the first episode I'm rooting for Shank. Former Long Drive competitor and real life Tin Cup would be cool to see on the PGA Tour. Him and the guy with the dreads (Will I think?) Anyone who plays cross-handed is alright in my book

Given some of my golf rounds over the years NC, I should like those guys too. I am intrigued by the track guy and I am pulling for the Marine and Canadian kid with the very sick mom.

I love the Marine saying, 'Hell, no one's shooting at me here!"

Capitalism, he should realize, is war through other means!

So very true I think it's a cool idea how they play with 'their own money'. It puts a different perspective on how they play the game when they have something tangible to lose. I bet Lee Trevino would be right at home on the show with this kind of format.
