I just caught the finals. It actually seems like a really interesting format but they couldn't have done a worse job of telling us what the hell was going on. They combined not letting us know the important information about stack sizes and betting order with not showing us where people were on the golf course. How hard could it possibly be to draw a few little dots on the hole overhead graphic they already have?

Players were folding way too much. Two players each have birdie putts inside ten feet on the first par five and somehow someone folds to a pot-sized bet? Can two 10-ish handicap players really have that big a disparity in their short putting skills so as to make folding getting 2:1 correct? I play plenty of tournament poker and used to play a fair amount of golf and I cannot figure that one out.

I agree...you would not believe how exciting and amazing this event was - and the television coverage was pretty much for [censored]. Oh well. I wish I had been in charge - it would've looked a lot better.

Maybe next year they will pay a little more attention to skill rating.

Im not sure you can make this event look good on TV in hour long episodes. Golf just doesn't work that way w/ TV.

Was that Corporation Mike (LATB) being the "financial adviser" for Ewing?

I had the same question, sounds exactly like him, looks like him plus goatee.

That would be Mike Leblanc, better known as Corporation Mike from LATB.
