[Hold My Own]

I know this isnt up a lot of your ally's but I love watching poker, I love watching High Stakes poker when it's their money and for years I've heard about them gambling on golf...now we get to see it first hand....these are poker players playing golf for ALOT of money

This really is their money they are using (yes they do get an appearance fee) but if they lose money on HSP or on this you'll see what type of mood their in...I'm actually looking as forward to this as I am the Office which is my fav show right now (even though the last episode wasnt great)

Why

A real thing occurs in just about every town in America on just about every weekend - people wagering on their golf games. Rick Reilly has chronicled many of these stories in the book "Who's your Caddy" Rick is a partner in HSE and his novels served as an inspiration for the original idea.

Before televised poker, golf used to be the biggest game in town. The Las Vegas games were and still are the stuff of legends. Quiet whispers within a small community of gambling golfers. Huge games for huge cash, played quietly away from the hustle and buzz of the Strip.

Here is a quick trailer
