Big Break

#1 Post by kusch » Wed Apr 16, 2008 9:48 am

I really do not watch this series (this is a golf reality series for those not familar with the name) but I think I will this season--it started last night. It is on the golf channel.

12 women and not only "many" of them very attractive, I think there are a couple of really good players in the mix. Winner gets an exemption into an LPGA event (can't remember which one) and also an exemption on the Futures Tour. (think Nationwide Tour for women)

I have seen a few episodes from various seasons.

Those women can get catty and bitchy.

If you like Real World, this is sorta a grown up version of that - where the tasks are all golf related.

Maybe they should recruit a few past Rock of Love contestants.

A "golf reality" show? How does it work? I presume winning requires more of the reality schlock than actually playing golf?

Uh oh. An exemptions into golf tournaments is a trip wire around here!

It really is about playing golf. They have tasks to win and all of the tasks are golf related tasks.

My fave was when they had to break glass with their shot.

Nope. They have immunity challenges that are not entirely "playing golf" (though they are golf-skill related, like breaking panes of glass with golf shots) and elimination challenges that involve actually playing holes of golf or hitting the ball into target areas for points. From the seasons that I saw, the final two face off in match-play to determine the winner.
