Big Break V: Meet the ladies and enjoy the show
First of all, when I posted "Sex Sells... but should it have to?" on December 9th, I was taking the Golf Channel to task for using their contestants in a swimsuit calendar to promote the upcoming Big Break V from Hawaii.
I wrote, "Yes, sex sells... but if you are a golf network that needs to show women in bathing suits to get ratings for a golf competition reality series, maybe you should be coming up with different programming."
That being said... I don't have a problem with swimsuit calendars. I don't have a problem with women competing in a golf reality series. And after getting a chance to meet the ladies of BBV at the PGA Merchandise Show, I certainly don't have a problem with the very fine (and fine looking) ladies of the BBV. I was so impressed, in fact, that I've added a BBV category to the Lounge where I'll link to all the stories I can find on the contestants.
After spending some time with their bios it is clear that TGC has compiled a strong list of accomplished golfers for their semi-annual golf competition.
At the PGA Show, the six ladies signing autographs and meeting golf fans were cordial, sincere, and just thrilled to be a part of all the excitement.
I wonder if you can read anything into just 6 of the 11 being at the show? Could it be that the others were early exits? Anyway, I'll be watching and rooting for all of them as the show kicks-off Tuesday, February 7 at 9 PM/ET.
I know, what would a Bogey post on the Big Break be without talking about the "hottie" level of the contestants? That being said, of the 6 ladies there (Jeanne, Katie, Ashley, Kristina, Kim, & Jo D) all were cute, but I thought Jeanne and Kristina were certainly the cream of the crop.
I still don't think TGC should have gone the swimsuit route to promote great golfers, but I'll be the first to hang one on my wall. My principles may be high, but not so much that I can turn my back on hot golfers.
As always, Stay Tuned...

I have a strict policy of applauding anyone who combines golf and babes...
