I really enjoyed it. Any comments?

The one thing that annoyed me, was in the two man team, there wasn't much variety. All they showed was Ivey's team and Applemen's team. I mean, they were playing for the win so they were the most exciting, but there were other teams. They showed a little of Van Patten/Gretzky and a little of Doyle/Tomko. They showed a teeny bit of Daniel, but no E-dog.
I liked the first scramble tournament better than the two team.

Hellmuth's swing on the 1st hole of the scramble was the funniest thing i've ever seen,

imo they're spotting the bad players way too much in terms of letting them play off the 'super reds', in the second episode Appleman and Hanson were both pretty much pin high on a par four, it doesn't really matter that their short games suck so bad they really shouldn't get that much of an advantage,

found it pretty funny during the scramble when doyle just fks his putter into the air after missing a put, this wouldn't go down to well on most courses.

Also they built it up as $1m per hole, but it wasn't like a skins game so there was no carry over which made it much less exciting, imagine a 5 footer for $9m on the 9th, now thats clutch!

I realized about the putter also. Do you watch High Stakes Golf on Rawvegas.tv? I was watching the episode today and after a bad swing, Gavin just hit his club as hard as he could on the ground. They also throw their clubs. If they weren't 'celebrities' that would not fly.

It would be cool if there was a carry over, but then I don't think those players would have played because they would have expected to lose a lot more money.
