10 players from all over American with big egos on their golf game are vying for 4 spots in the Nationwide Tour....it's golf's own reality show!

I couldn't catch it last night cuz I was playing badminton...but it's every Tues night, so I'm not sure if I can ever catch it! :(

haha...i watched a bit of it...there was no elimination yesterday...they all had a chance to win a Ford 4x4, forgot the model...they had to hit 300 yrds onto a green, closest to the pin has to make their putt/chip to win the car...only 2 guys landed on the green...the closest was 23ft...he missed terribly on his putt...next week will be good, elimination and there are some heated moments with some trash talking...
btw, they win to play in 4 Nationwide tournaments...not a full Nationwide tour card.

that's pretty cool. last year's winner won 4 exemptions to play in the canadian tour; the nationwide tour has more money.

can't wait to get hooked again. btw, it's the only reality show that i watch. :D

The winner on BB1 sucked on the Canadian Tour...I wasn't too impressed with any of the guys right now on the show. Though its only been one week, they havn't really showcased their talent. There's this really fat guy trying out but I dont think he'll cut it. But I shouldn't judge a book by its cover.

You have to read his diaries if you didn't watch him play last year. There's more to him than just not playing well. The poor bugger had a lot of bad breaks. A very serious oblique muscle tear and the sponsor of the maverick tour (i think) took off with all the money and the guys on the tour had to pay their own green fees during a tourney. If you followed the BB in the first season, you'll know that this guy was and is pretty cash strapped.

you can catch up here if you're interested.

So anyone watch this weeks BB2? Was very entertaining. First event, everyone had to hit two shots, one a draw and one a fade around a wall in the fairway. Shortest distance in total of both shots wins immunity. Second event was to break a panel of glass about 20 yrds away with each contestants name on them. Break the glass and they're out. Last man standing wins a mulligen for the elimination event. Elimination event was a par 3 over water with wind. 3 tee shots from 3 different yardages. 180, 135 and 100. Earn points by landing in perimeters around the hole. The closer to the hole, the more points. Person with the least points after 3 shots is eliminated. Won't tell you who it is incase you plan to watch the rerun tonight or sat night.

I finally caught the last half hour of it last night.......it was fun to watch, but I'm pretty surprised most could not get it onto the green in the elimination challenge.......I mean if these guys want to get onto the Nationwide Tour, they're gonna have to do much better then that!..especially when the last shot was only 119 yrds out!

Anyone watch the most recent eps? I'm beginning to really get annoyed with the dude with no shoes. First of all, why is he not wearing shoes? Does he actually play tournaments barefoot? Second, he sucks! He made so many mistakes in the last show. His team lost because of him. He should be eliminated !!

Sorry, barefoot dude actually made a crucial 30 foot putt in one of the competitions but still screwed up on some other shots. The guy who got eliminated deserved to go. He didn't play well at all yesterday. I thought they were reletively easy shots to make and he couldnt' even hit the green. The fat guy is actually pretty good. He won the mulligan comp and in the other competitions held his ground.
