HIGHWAY 18
Boingo:
Episode 3 of 10 ...or how confusing can it get... :lol:
Excuse me for a second, my brain is about to explode after watching tonight's show.. :groan:
All will be revealed later.... but first the teams are subjected to pointless racing from challenge to challenge before the pace of the show grinds to a screeching halt.... to play golf... WTF? :lol:
There seems to be a racetrack theme running through the first half of the show, with an accuracy challenge at a horse race track ??? and then a interesting but pointless racing /chipping challenge at the Daytona Speedway. Hit the car with your shot, and take a lap off of your partenrs 4-lap ride. Our resident NASCAR Mom (puddin) would have liked this, but too bad she don't get this channel... :neener:
Then they race to the clubhouse challenge where the order of their arrival gives them a penalty in the stroke challenge. ...did I lose you yet, because my brain was spinning at this point...
Team with highest combined scores of a par 4 and par 5 hole plus penalty points is the loser... carry the three, square root of 2... :groan: BUT wait... there's a twist...or two...or three.... :res:
THIS IS A SUPER LEG.... WTF? :groan: that means it's a Non-elimination leg, no strikes, just a time penalty for the losing team next week. Don't pass go, don't collect $200, blahblah
BUT THERE'S MORE.... (oh save me lord) the winning team (after we adjust for magnetic north and position of the planets during a full moon) get next week off...(aka IMMUNITY!) :pull
If you followed all that you're a better man than I am.... OK, so here's the results after 3 legs ...
Team Good Ole Boys 0 strike
Team Salt & Pepper 1 strike --- IMMUNITY, take next week off!
Team Brother & Sis 0 strike --- start with time penalty next week
Team Dad & Son 0 strike
Team Ashley/Ashleigh 1 strike
...oh yeah, did I tell you, these folks can't play golf to save their lives.... :pull :funny:
OK TARAsia Fan, looks like we're the only two watching this show...let the bashing begin... :knuckles:

I find it a little strange that the biggest complaint I've heard about the show is that it not "real" golf- so when the race at the end of the day stops for real stroke play... that's the first thing you gripe about. This episode to me makes more sense than the previous ones: having your final placement once reaching the clubhouse challenge effect your score - & you get to play "real" golf... not speed golf.
Regarding your "head spinning" - I don't know what you're talking about... I was able to keep up with the show just fine & I thought it was great. Things like immunity & penalties are not uncommon in competition reality shows.
And I also did a little research regarding some of the players & came up with a few stats:
Peach: walked on his college team to play with Tom Kite & Ben Hogan
Jay: played at the University of New Mexico with a golf scholarship & is currently playing professionally on the Hooters Tour
Parker & Andy: Andy's qualified for a number of PGA events & they both share the course record at their home course with a score of 63
Jameica & Charlotte: Duramed Futures tour players - Charlotte was 3-time athlete of the year at Rollins College, won numerous tournaments & qualified for the womens US Open in 2006
Ashleigh Korzack: played at Missisippi State with a golf scholarship
Ashley Davis: played at Tenessee State with a golf scholarship & won the 2003 PGA Minority Collegiate Championship
