Shotmakers on Golf channel


Peterpc2828

Recommended Posts

Has anyone else checked out shotmakers on the golf channel? It's a reality golf show that takes place at Top Golf in Vegas, 2 person teams compete against each other collecting points for called shots into specific targets that ultimately lead to an elimination round at the end of the episode. I've watched the first 2 episodes and as excited as I was for this to come on I'm not impressed. Anyone else check this out and have any feedback? I really wanted to love this.

I've seen bits of the first two episodes and it's boring.

I've watched, and I've found it entertaining enough. I was expecting something different, and spent more time watching Red Sox - Yankees, but it was ok.

I saw the last half of the first show and about 10 minutes of the second then my wife came in and wanted to watch The Voice, there are some great singers on The Voice.  I don't plan to seek out the episodes of Shotmakers because if I know  TGC I will have ample opportunity to see them.

Painful to watch, just painful.  Also the playing ability is not that great to boot.  Definitely a skip night for me when it is on.

 

A great addition would be giving the true TopGolf LV treatment with bottle service and the bevertainers that serve the drinks.  I could hit the ditch within the parameters 9 out of 10 times with a ladies four iron.....and that was after a bottle of Tito's.  I may or may not have been there several times :)

Like you I watched it briefly and like you found it rather boring. I remember thinking that there must be an episode of "Law and Order" on some channel.

Outside a few names I didn't recognize most of the competitors and two of the names I did recognize were eliminated the first day so even having a somewhat familiarity with some of the participants couldn't help.

Haven't watched it. I like golf, this isn't golf. However I could see how it might attract new viewers so I get it.

 

Frankly I miss the Big Break. I wish they would bring it back.

Yes! Big break was excellent. At least a few have made it into the PGA tour like Tony Finau.

It has been a bit of a disappointment.  I gave it a try Monday night and thought it was boring, but that was after a long day.   Tried it again last night and I was still not entertained.  I like the thought of trying something new, but this one hasn't worked for me.  Bring back The Big Break.

I did watch the first two episodes but found it to be poor. I think there is only so much you can do at a top golf facility, at the end of the day it gets boring just trying to hit shots into targets. This is suppose to replace the big break, but I honesty like the different challenges you have when playing on a proper golf course. Breaking the glass, flop shots over the wall, short game challenges. I know this has been done before and they are trying something new, but it looks like they just got a bunch of attractive Instagram golf girls and are trying to appeal to that younger market. It's ok to watch but can't see it going past one season

It's VERY BORING!!! Players aren't very good. The girls are pretty but that's not enough for me to watch. The GC commercials say "Shotmakers is setting the internet ablaze". Yeah it is, but most I've seen is saying it's terrible. Only lasting until the end of the month. Hopefully, it will die a quick death after that.

The talent wasn't great but I still found it kinda fun. Basically love version of the skills challenge from Tiger Woods video game

I actually thought that some of the entertainment value stemmed from the fact that the talent wasn't great. It was interesting to see some of them miss exactly the way I would. It almost made me feel a little better about my game.

I always try to remember that I'm not good enough to get mad!

It was alright. Watching everyone just hit to the trench was boring though. I expected some actual shot creativity and gamesmanship for scoring to win.

I have the same thoughts as the majority here.  I wanted to like it, but I just can't get into it.  Some of the shots are not something I would think I would see from someone that played college or pro golf.  I may give it one more try, but I doubt I'll end up watching it until the season is over with.

I'd watch more if it if the format changed. The current format is really slow to develop. 

They have a 30 second shot clock and have to hit five balls at five different targets.

Or they have 45 seconds to chug a beer and hit a ball like happy Gilmore.

Or if they call a target and miss, they get thrown off the top deck at the top golf.

Or change the format to something like big break and call it big break. Or big break top golf.

I must admit that I was not a big fan of the Big Break.   The initial 3 or 4 versions somewhat are entertaining, but afterwards, the skill challenge segments got to be rather boring to me, much like the targeting in Shotmakers.   Breaking glass, hitting over a wall is not that much dissimilar, in my opinion.  I would have like it better, it the contestants just played golf.   Also, while not as old as I am now, it would have been nice to have a senior episode where the winner got a spot in a Champions tour event.
