The Golf Channel had it's big night of premiers, and I think I am going to enjoy both of these shows: The Haney Project with Rush Limbaugh and Pipe Dream. In typical Rush Limbaugh fashion, it looks like Hank had to go to West Palm Beach, FL to do the show. If I am not mistaken, I believe Ray Romano got on a plane and went to Dallas for the first show. The funniest part so far, during the commercial after the first segment, Rush started off warming up. He proceeded to hit one fat, and say … [Read more...]
The Haney Project with Rush Limbaugh
The Haney Project has always been one of my favorite shows on The Golf Channel over the last couple years. Charles Barkley was probably the best season and it seems Barkley is still struggling with his game. Rush Limbaugh joins Haney this year which will probably be a pretty entertaining series. Limbaugh is the right winged talk show host who overcame a pill addiction and continues to be a very popular voice when it comes to the Republican side of politics. Limbaugh loves to talk, and the … [Read more...]
The Golf Channel launches new show: Pipe Dream
The Golf Channel is a big part of my TV watching duties, and I think they have done a pretty decent job in making "reality" type shows over the last few years. The Big Break series, The Haney Project and a few others are all on my DVR list. Now comes another interesting story which I will be sure to tune in to. "Pipe Dream" is a new series featuring a golf pro by the name of Mark Burk, who at age 53 is trying to get his life back on track, and in the meantime get his golf game back along … [Read more...]
Tiger Woods and Hank Haney Back Together
Sources have told The Golf Channel and Golf Digest has confirmed Hank Haney is back in Orlando and has been seen with Tiger Woods at Isleworth practicing. Now what does this mean? Who knows. I am sure speculation will grow over the next week. The WGC CA Championship is this weekend and Tiger already missed the deadline to enter. The Transitions Championship is next week in Tampa and Tiger has never played that tournament in his career. The Tavistock Cup is March 22-23 at Isleworth. Then … [Read more...]
Being John Daly
Being John Daly just ended and I have to say I am digging the show. I love John Daly and it seems like the show is going to be a real show for real people. Unlike The Haney Project where you have Ray Romano and Hank Haney flying around the country in a private jet and eating gourmet foods before a show in Vegas. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed The Haney Project and I will watch every episode, but everyone will never experience that. John Daly is a real person and connects with regular everyday … [Read more...]
Finally…The Haney Project Premieres Tonight
After what seems like a year of commercials and promotional spots, The Haney Project finally tees off on The Golf Channel tonight. Hank Haney teams up with Ray Romano with the goal of getting Ray to break 80. I guess Ray was on a media tour today because I heard him on the Dan Patrick Show with guest host Tony Bruno. Ray said he has been playing golf for 35 years and has never broke 80. I bet he does it. If he has been playing for that long then he already has an idea what to do. Hank will … [Read more...]
Well, I am NOT a Very Good Bracketologist!!
After the first day of competition in the WGC Accenture Match Play it doesn't look like I did too well with my picks. I picked Padraig Harrington to come out of the Bobby Jones bracket and Harrington got beat 3 and 1. In the Ben Hogan bracket I still have Rory Mcilroy alive. In the Gary Player bracket I have Geoff Ogilvy and finally in the Sam Snead bracket I have Stewart Cink still alive. Huh.. Maybe I am still doing alright. I still have three of the four still remaining in the … [Read more...]
Donald Trump Golf Apprentice Style?
Coming this April, The Golf Channel and Donald Trump will debut another reality series called Donald J. Trump's Fabulous World of Golf. The series will give actors, politicians, pro athletes, and other celebrities a chance to tee-it-up against each other with the winner getting a donation to their favorite charity. The series is also slated to include behind the scenes looks at The Donald's worldwide golf portfolio. I don't know if that means these celebrities will play these courses during … [Read more...]
Big Break Disney Golf
I really got hooked a six years ago when Big Break debuted in 2003. This season was just as exciting as the others and Mike Perez won in extra holes to take home the title of Big Break Champion. Mike is the brother of PGA Tour member Pat Perez and with the win they may get a chance to play along side of each other in the 2010 Children's Miracle Network Classic. Mike will get a sponsors exemption in to the tournament as well as some other great prizes. Along with the exemption, he will get … [Read more...]
