550025KV Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 I watched 5 of the 8 episodes last night. They did a very good job, and as someone said, they picked a perfect year to start the filming. Must watch if you're a golfer. It's not edge of your seat like "F1, Drive" series, but it's worth a few hours.

That said, I don’t generally enjoy this type of documentary type show.

It's rare these days for me to find a show I like, so I'm trying to savour it Same here, Splatt. I had to make myself turn the tv off after ep. 1. Really great start to the series, can't wait for the second (and probably third ) episode this evening after the kids go to bed!

Clay5477 Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 (edited) Watched the first five episodes last night. I thought it was absolutely great!! Local note: I live in the small town area that Joel Dahmen and his caddie Geno Bonalli are from. I know Geno personally. Just to let you know what an absolute stick he is, he has the course record at the local club I used to belong to: 61. Sixty-one!!! And Joel has the course record where I now belong: 61!! Guess which episode is my favorite so far! Watching the rest today, before Tiger tees off.

Middler Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Watched the first episode last night, it was OK but then that's kinda what I expected as I'm not a big fan of "reality TV." I am sure I will watch the other episodes when there's nothing else on and I'm in a TV watching mood (not as often as most people?)...

Lucky6 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 We watched 1-5. I agree w/ those who say it's good but not great...worth the watch, though. Interesting to see players chat and 'behind the scenes' stuff. I'm not a big fan of reality TV - they over act b/c that's what happens when you have a camera following you around but seeing homes, family and history of players is a nice touch. Nothing like F1 - I agree w/ that also haha. Mostly it made me want to play on grass instead of our months of simulator playing here where it's cold all winter.

GolfSpy TCB Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 If they want an interesting show... they need to do Full Swing - MGS Forum Edition... follow a few members around on the course... not that would be good content!! haha. I just started... first episode.. hope to make some ground through the rest of the season this weekend. So far... it is what I expected it to be... and consistent with the comments above. I hope it isn't an opportunity lost with a lackluster series... it could be GREAT.

In my opinion when you get to the point where you are not making cuts and not getting paid you have to treat it more like a job. If someone is going to give me extraordinary amounts of money to show up for work and have to work less for guaranteed money I’m in. Loyalty ends when the pay checks end and it is costing a few grand to play. It would be strictly a business decision for me. sirchunksalot and MattWillGolf 2 Quote Driver, Aerojet Max UST Helium Nanocore R Flex 3 wood, Aerojet Max UST Helium Nanocore R Flex 5 wood, Aerojet Max UST Helium Nanocore R Flex 7 Wood, Aerojet Max UST Helium Nanocore R Flex 5 Hybrid King Tec MMT R Flex Irons, Tour UST Recoil 95 R Flex (6 - Gap) Wedges, Snakebite KBS Hi- Rev2.0 54* & 60* Agera 35" Ultralight 14-way Cart Bag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read an article on that last night... They alluded to the fact that is was a health limitation putting that doubt in his mind, but could be an excuse. The article also said he is having second thoughts about his move and may be looking for a way back onto the tour. Of course, I read it on the web... so it must ALL be true.

Blueberry_Squishie Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 I've watched all of the episodes and whilst I thought it was OK (especially the Joel Dahmen episode), I don't think MGS forum members are the target audience. My wife and MIL watched it and thoroughly enjoyed it. Not knowing much about the tour and the game at the professional level, what was shown was much more novel to them. The extent of their golf knowledge prior: That's where husband goes on Saturdays for 5 hours. Hit ball into hole - fewest strokes wins.y Amateurs have handicaps - lower means they're a better player.

Headhammer Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Agree with others this seems to be geared toward the more casual or non-golf fan. Constantly explaining what a "cut" is and DJ having to introduce himself kinda tells that. Also, have you ever noticed how many times Dan Hicks says "He's gonna have to make something happen here" during a broadcast?
