Golf Channel's Highway 18

Did you watch the first episode of Highway 18? It was actually a lot of fun and a lot of heavy breathing :)

I had the privilege of interviewing Ashley and Ashleigh (the blonde leading the blonde) after the show to get their reaction to seeing themselves "in action". These ladies know how to have a good time. :)

I think this series is going to be a hoot.

Just finished watching it, like The Amazing Race with a golf theme; should be interesting to see what they come up with. We'll see.

I keep waiting for this bubble of bad programing to burst and go back to some of the golf shows that use to be on the golf channel..

The play-the-hole-alternately-till-you-par-or-better was a decent contest. We'll see.

The golf channel needs help. Show doesn't do anything for me.

If Golf Channel really wants to follow all the rest of the mindless shows the networks have been creating - they are gonna have a Rehab show with John Daly

They ought to do something like Golf Digests Handicap lowering training system. Like lessons 2 nights a week on TV and then everyone goes online for other tips and such and show how much they improve following the training. I would be interested to see what the average improvement was.

I loved "Playing Lessons With The Pros" series but you hardly ever see it anymore. I always took things away fromthe good episodes that helped my game. Tom Watson helped me drop at least 3 shots a round.

Re: Golf Channel's Highway 18

I'll have to try and catch it, is it available online anywhere? Or on a torrent?

Re: Golf Channel's Highway 18

Well I have to admit I am a sucker for the Big Break series, not so much now as I used to be but I still try and watch. Really hasn't been great since Big Break: Trump.

Well, if you liked how it ended, you might want to hear from Jameica and Raul and what they thought about the show. After all, they were the first ones with a strike against them.

I interviewed them today and learned things I didn't know before. Always great to hear from those who lived the experience.

Re: Golf Channel's Highway 18

Okay, for those who watched tonight's episode, what did you think?

I did my after-episode interviews with Ashleigh and Ashley and they were pretty honest about the day and some of the things they wish they had done differently. But tricking Parker and Andy was not one of them. I wish we could hear from those two good ole boys about what Trouble and Sunshine did to them at that light. That was sooo funny.
