    Question Reality TV comming to golf world

    I saw this on the golf channel last night and thought you guys might want to check it out too.

    Seems like " Only in Canada eh! "

    It was only a matter of time, no?

    And besides, having Katherine Roberts there to add some sparkle to the competition can't hurt much. From what I'm reading, it looks like the winner will be parachuted into 4 events on the Canadian Tour.

    Anyhow, it'll be interesting for a while, I suppose.

    See you Sunday!
    Thanks for the screen-time.

    about time they did something

    Over a year ago I contacted TGC and pitched them an idea for a reality golf series. My idea was for a "regular joe" skins game with PGA pros on their bags for advice/tips. 4 equivalent handicaps drawn at random competing for big $$.

    It would be way more interesting watch some mailman from Tulsa trying to sink a 4 footer for $25000 then watching Freddy do the same thing.

    Sounds neat but you'd have to be a HUGE golf enhusiast to watch - kinda like you have to be to talk about it I guess.

    Ahh c'mon Stever. Every time you get into a conversation, out comes that cute little Pink Piggie.

    Maybe we should retire it from use?
    Designate it for your use only?
    Rename it a "K"???



    PS: it's quite accurate................

    I like the idea, especially since some skins matches just don't seem to work well on tv. Why not have joe average have a shot at mega-bucks. Why should freddy get it over Tiger? They don't need it.

    I would watch that show. Get 100 000 people to say the same thing, and I bet someone would buy it.

    So by this logic it is only outdoor adventurist that watch Survivor?
