Buck Hunter, I noticed you didn't attempt to refute anything in my comment. It was empty ridicule. When someone defaults to words like dude and uses a mother reference, it basically screams of lack of competence, no ability to retort. Congratulations. LOL.

And BTW, I dislike Mountain Dew. But I love my job.

Thanks for your comment Konoimo. I wish I could say that I haven't seen worse than Blake, but that would be a lie. I've seen some pretty bad outbursts even on the PGA. There's a reason why fines are dished out on a very regular basis on the tours - LPGA included!

I live in a glass house myself - have had a few tantrums on the course I wish I could take back. I expect Blake's wishing he could undo some of his behavior on BB. Certainly he's mentioned that in his interviews.

Thanks again!

Blake was painful to watch. His demeanor not exactly what we come to expect of professional golfers. Controlling emotions on the golf course we all know is a big key to doing well when you play. I hope Blake realizes that and that his only worst enemy is himself. Not Andrew and his mouth. Andrew is a gamesman. He played Blake and the other guys like fools, using their emotions against them.

Hey Awsi... you are on every single comment board hating on Blake. Seriously dude, do you have nothing else to do? Besides, sit around and pound mountain dews and write painfully long comments on the internet. You talk about class, lets get online and talk down to someone you will never meet. Class, class, class. Maybe when you move out of your mom's basement you can look Blake up and play around and see how it turns out. Get a job.

Thanks Awsi! I always love hearing from you and your insightful comments!

I have hadn't much luck reaching Tony lately, but will try again for next week's post.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Cheers

I appreciated Blake's theme at the end of his interview. Unfortunately not many people will hear it, nor care. In contrast, everyone with a negative opinion of Blake heading into this episode was left with the reinforcement of the putter swing. He indeed has a reputation hurdle, and it won't be brief. I wish contestants would grasp that viewers desperately want to apply a benefit of a doubt. Blake's golf was significantly better this episode. All he had to do was shake hands after the missed putt then hand Big Break a courteous and gentlemanly departing summation clip. Final impressions are immeasurably powerful. Brian Skatell signed off with an emotional recital of how much he loved the game of golf. Blake gashed a green at a private resort. You've got to step back and think big picture when your image is being shaped here and now and you lack a similar high profile vehicle to amend it.

Anyway, what happened to Tony? He hasn't participated in an interview for a month. I realize he didn't advance at first stage Q School, and may be down about that, but the same applied to Vincent and Blake who have continued to participate.

Vincent is pure class, demonstrated again in his exit interview on Golf Channel and the Thanksgiving wish at the end of this week's interview here. I've got to concede I was too busy rooting for Andrew to outlast Blake to fully appreciate how unfortunate it was for the program, golf level and otherwise, when Vincent was eliminated so comparatively early.

Thanks Mike! I will pass along your comment next ...

Thanks Mike! I will pass along your comment next week when I talk with him again. Pat has sure done well this year - right to the end in China where he was in contention. He's certainly someone to watch!

Cheers

Gail, next time you talk to Blake, tell him I said hang in there. Everybody has something they have to overcome before they can win, and even a "hot head" can do it. Remember two words: Pat Perez.

There are losers on BB and Blake was one of the biggest. Hacking up the green after he was eliminated says everything about that guy. No respect for his opponents, himself or even the green he is playing on. Dude you're a loser, you embarass yourself. Glad you're done.

I was happy with those 3 guys being in elimination and would have liked to see them all go home. The Big Gimp or whatever he is called is not impressesive. Hits the ball a long way but misses too many easy shots and his short game is not that great. What is with his brains (and that of these other guys too) to pick Andrew to go head to head with. Have you guys noticed he's a pretty good golfer, can hold his nerve and make shots unlike most of you? Not very smart, why not use your head and pick the weakest golfer rather than the guy you dislike.

Oh and that Mike guy is just sad. He puts that bunker shot to within 5 feet and is cursing like he should have holed it. You are such a phony. If we gave you 10 balls, that would be your best shot. Not impressed with his tour brother Pat either. He comes on the show and calls his brother a pain in the butt. Not classy at all, not even in a joke.
