Great Golf In Episode 7

Great show tonight... and not just because Susan continues to show her stuff week after week.  Everyone on the show is starting to prove that they can hit shots when they really need to.  

I was actually quite impressed with Courtney and I feel that this Big Break experience is going to help her immensely in her future endeavors... maybe even on a grander scale than any of the other twelve Ka'anapali competitors.  The first comments I remember from Courtney was how lost she felt without her husband Kevin.  How he really did everything for her on the golf course... everything but actually hitting the shot for her.  I had a real bad feeling about how Courtney was going to do from the get go... but found myself growing more confident in her staying on the show as the weeks passed.  This is someone that really grew as a player right before our eyes.  This is someone that showed up on day one with very little confidence to play this game on her own, and is leaving the show believing that she is just as capable of succeeding on her own as she is with her husband by her side.  What a great learning experience for her.  I do also feel this is a very valuable lesson for many coaches / parents / teachers / mentors / etc... as important as it is for us to teach and guide our students with passion, it is just as important for us to let them go out and learn on their own.  Sometimes it's not easy, but it's necessary!  And last but not least... awesome birdie Courtney... way to go out with a bang!!!

As for the remaining players on the show... I could actually see any one of these women winning.  Lori couldn't have said it better.  "We all have our strengths, and we all have our weaknesses!"  I see that as being a very accurate statement... although they all have more strengths than weaknesses to say the least.  I think the choice of competitions is going to be a huge factor in who is the final player standing.

I really enjoy this blog. Taking lots of things from the show that I otherwise would not have taken if I had not found Bill's blog. I'm also really impressed with Susan Choi. She has really improved her play since day one. I tracked down her website online and found that she has a knack for adapting to each level she competes in very quickly. Why I can't do the same, I'm not sure. But I'm very impressed with this young lady. She is really having fun, loves what she is doing, and I'm sure will go very far. Beautiful golf swing too. Keep up the good work on the blog.

I agree, this is a good blog. When I watch the show I try to put myself in Susan's position and wonder how I would react to this shot or that shot, and I know I would have been out of the competition already. My mindset is no where near Susan's. The way her mindset is throughout her entire golf game is amazing. To hit a bad shot, act like it was no big deal, and then follow it up with an incredible shot is what makes her game that much more unique. I have really enjoyed the show and look forward to seeing how she handles herself during every episode. I now look forward to Tuesday night.
