Blake is a bad golfer, a goofball and not a very nice guy at all. His lack of confidence is inspired and reinforced by his bad golf. He sucks and he knows it when his mouth stops working. So where does he get such a big mouth? You would think lousy golfers like that shut their mouth and fall under the radar.

Sure Andrew talks to much but he is displaying more gentlemanly qualities than most of these guys.

None of these guys are very good. They can hit good shots at times but have nowhere near the consistency that is required to even miss the cut each week on the Nationwide tour.

Hey John
Thanks for visiting and your comments. I do like Blake. Yes, it's true. But that's because I have come to know him and he's exactly who you see - passionate, vocal and very honest. He wears his heart on his sleeve. Underneath that passion, he is a really good guy. Others on the show really like him, although they don't always like his behavior and are honest about that. I like that.

I don't mean to come across as not liking Andrew. Maybe I just need to get to know him a bit better. As I said before, I'd love to interview him.

But thanks for your thoughts - keep them coming!

Andrew is my favorite by far. Blake was the worst (golfer and attitude), and I am glad to see him go. He should be ashamed for damaging the green on purpose. I think its funny that they all are trying to take out Andrew, but when he wins they get mad. Umm, hes a good golfer. If you want to be smart go up against a bad golfer. Golfgal.. this is the first time I've been on your site, but I can't believe you like Blake over Andrew. Would you relly enjoy playing golf with someone that acts like that??

This BB has broken down to a popularity contest rather than a golf contest. It reminds me of 7th grade. Andrew may talk a bit, but he's calm and polite. Those other twits should stick to their golf and everything else would take care of itself. Blake is an absolute idiot.

Thanks Golfgal. I appreciate your comments. I am anxious to hear what the guys have to say about their explosions and even more interested to hear what they say about their comments, under their breath or otherwise, that aim to target other players. When you say something like "we have to get him outta here" referring to getting Andrew off the show, I believe you lose the support of those that feel golf is a gentleman's game. Just my two cents.

Hi "S"
Having followed so many BBs, it would appear that this BB is not much different when it comes to "people behaving badly". And you are right, the editors do exploit every chance they get to highlight those outbursts. Blake has said on more than one occassion that he was embarrassed to see himself lose his temper on the show. Normally the contestants will justify their behavior OR say the editors took things out of context. But Blake didn't do that - he really shoots from the hip - on the show and in his interviews. His heart is on his sleeve (same as Mike). I get the feeling he'd like to "do over" some moments on the show (like this week's explosions).

Yes, Andrew was set up to be the villain from the beginning, but isn't it strange that the other players seem to have an issue with him too? OR is that good editing? Maybe a bit of both. Even he has said not all the guy like him in his interviews.

It would be nice to get Andrew's side of this issue on the blog. As I said before I'd love to chat with him.

But I will ask your question next week of the guys I know, so come back and hear what the others have to say.
Thanks!
Gayle

Golfgal,

Thanks for your thoughts. I would love for you to ask the contestants if they understand how classless they have been on the show? I know that editing can determine a lot as to how we perceive them but the comments that Blake has made in the past, and others for that matter, are both unsportsmanlike and childish. Golf discussion boards all over the internet are having a heyday with Blake. My best guess is that during the filming Blake and Mike thought that Andrew would look like the villain but as the show has progressed it is clear that public favor has swung hard to Andrew's side. And rightfully so.

This is why I love blogging. I get so many different opinions. I love all of yours even when they don't jive with mine. thanks for sharing! It's why I am here ;)

BTW...I tried to interview Andrew before BB started and was told 'No way!'. Okay...that's fine. But if he ever wants to talk to me, I'd love to get his thoughts on the episodes and other contestants.

AMEN! He should've went home a long time ago. Same...

AMEN! He should've went home a long time ago. Same with Kevin, he sucks too. I've been playing for only 2 years and I'm better than them.

It seems like Golfgal is on the "I hate Andrew" bandwagon as well after listening to Blake's interview. Unfortunately for her, supporting Blake in any way, shape, or form shows her true colors. Sorry to see that Golfgal hasn't interviewed the contestant that has shown the most class on the show, Andrew.
