WEEK 1

South Florida’s Cendoya and Duncombe Precariously Close to Elimination on Highway 18

Hall of Famer Arnold Palmer Surprises Teams at World Golf Hall of Fame

By Jeremy Friedman

South Florida’s Raul Cendoya (Weston, Fla.) and Jameica Duncombe (Coconut Creek, Fla.) felt the sting of misplaced golf shots and bad driving to become the first team to move one step closer to elimination on Tuesday’s premiere of Highway 18, GOLF CHANNEL’s newest reality series.

Cendoya and Duncombe were last to cross the finish line at TPC Sawgrass – the location of the final challenge – and faced the possibility of being the first team eliminated from the series.

“I definitely felt like it was the end of the road,” said Duncombe.

At the conclusion of the episode, host Keri Murphy gathered the teams and addressed Cendoya and Duncombe regarding their fate.

“Raul and Jameica, you came in last today, and that means you have one strike,” said Murphy to an instantly elated duo. “Two strikes at any time during the competition and you are out.”

The premiere episode of Highway 18 featured five teams competing in three sets of golf challenges: a start challenge, a road challenge and a clubhouse challenge. The competition began at 17th century Spanish fort Castillo de San Marcos in St. Augustine, where the teams scrambled to locate the keys to their Buick Enclaves. Once inside their vehicles, the teams traveled to the World Golf Hall of Fame for the road challenge.

Cendoya and Duncombe temporarily got lost on the road, losing valuable time they ultimately couldn’t make up during the course of the episode.

“I went past the entrance, and then we took a nice cruise like tourists in Florida before we decided to turn around,” Cendoya explained.

Upon arrival, teams competed on the challenge hole – a replica of the 17th hole at TPC Sawgrass – before running to the Trophy Tower inside the Hall of Fame. Unbeknownst to the teams, waiting to greet them was Arnold Palmer, who asked each team a golf related trivia question.

“My mind just completely forgot where I was,” said Cendoya.

“I don’t even think I heard the question he asked,” retorted Duncombe.

All five teams answered their question incorrectly, requiring them to search for the correct answer within the Hall of Fame exhibits before advancing to TPC Sawgrass for the final challenge of the day, the clubhouse challenge. At TPC Sawgrass, each team was required to play one hole in an alternate-shot format in par or better before racing to the finish line.

Brother-sister team Rob and Charlotte Campbell (Orlando, Fla), crossed the finish line first, followed by father-son Peach and Jay Reynolds (Austin, Texas). Cendoya and Duncombe, starting the clubhouse challenge in last place, made up valuable time and raced to the finish line at the clubhouse with remaining teams Ashley Davis and Ashleigh Korzack (Toronto, Ont.) and Andy Crain and Parker King (Goldsboro, N.C.) just ahead. Ultimately, Cendoya and Duncombe could not catch up, and were given the first strike of the series.

Knowing that Cendoya and Duncombe have one strike against them, the duo will become more focused and determined to stay alive in golf’s ultimate road trip.

WEEK 2

Toronto’s Korzack and Davis On Verge of Elimination on Highway 18

By: Jeremy Friedman

Ashley Davis and Ashleigh Korzack (Toronto, Ont.) could not overcome the elements and errant golf shots on Tuesday’s episode of Highway 18, joining Raul Cendoya (Weston, Fla.) and Jameica Duncombe (Coconut Creek, Fla., ) on the brink of elimination on GOLF CHANNEL’s newest original series.

“You have one strike against you,” said host Keri Murphy to Davis and Korzack at the finish line. “That means one more and we are sending you home.”

Highway 18 is a double-elimination series, with teams finishing last in two episodes going home. Davis and Korzack were the last to cross the finish line at Golden Ocala Golf Club and Country Club – the location of the final challenge.

“I never thought about this moment, feeling so low,” said an emotional Korzack after crossing the finish line. “I feel terrible about it.”

With the teams competing in an aggregate-par or better format, Davis’ par on her first try left Korzack needing par to complete the challenge. She accomplished the goal on the third try, which left the duo nothing more than sprinting to the finish line to face their inevitable fate.

“Surprise, no ball,” said Korzack. “It was what we expected. There was a lot of panicking on the course today.”

Tuesday’s episode began at Payne’s Prairie Swamp, followed by a Road Challenge at Florida Field – home to the University of Florida Gators – where teams had to land 60-yard chip shots from the end zone to inside the F on the 50-yard line. From there, teams raced 39 miles to Golden Ocala Golf and Country Club, where three teams jockeyed for position amid controversy.

“What is that, that is ridiculous,” exclaimed Charlotte Campbell (Orlando, Fla.) as Davis and Korzack passed her and brother Rob on the highway, seemingly exceeding the speed limit.

“Now that is some dangerous driving right there,” said Andy Crain (Goldsboro, N.C.) who was traveling just behind the other two teams.

“Those girls bother me,” Campbell concluded.

Peach and Jay Reynolds (Austin, Texas) enjoyed a comfortable lead throughout Tuesday’s episode. Beginning at the swamp, each team had to answer a trivia question correctly about University of Florida golf greats before selecting one of three paths, of which only correctly led to their Buick Enclaves and the next challenge.

“There were three paths, one of which seemed to follow the path we came in on and it seemed to follow the lake around,” said Jay Reynolds.

“It seemed like the more logical choice,” chimed in father Peach Reynolds.

At Florida Field, they extended their lead when Peach landed his chip inside the F on the 50-yard line on his first try and Jay on his second attempt.

However, upon arrival to Golden Ocala Golf & Country Club, the Reynolds missed their turn to the front gate, allowing Cendoya and Duncombe to catch up.

“Never in my mind did I think about going home today,” said Cendoya. “I thought about it yesterday, but not today.”

At the Clubhouse Challenge, the arriving teams chose one of five holes to play in the order of their arrival.

Team Reynolds and Cendoya and Duncombe crossed the finish line finished first and second, respectively. For the three remaining teams, it was an enduring race to the finish.

Rob and Charlotte Campbell, who struggled in the Road Challenge at Florida Field, made up valuable time and crossed the finish line in third place. Andy Crain and Parker King finished just behind the Campbells in fourth place.

Korzack, meanwhile, struggled through the rain. After making par on her third attempt, she and Davis immediately knew their fate, which was confirmed when they crossed the finish line.

Episode Three Preview – Off to the Races – Tuesday, Aug. 12, 10 p.m. ET
Going from one track to another, the contestants go from deep in the heart of horse country to the heartbeat of NASCAR Nation at Daytona International Speedway. It will be a day with horses and horse power, driving to the finish line at LPGA International as the series lives up to its’ mantra “Slow Play is Not an Option.”

WEEK 3

Rob and Charlotte Campbell Assessed Penalty

Team Cendoya and Duncombe Receive Immunity in Episode Twists

Tuesday’s third episode of Highway 18 had more twists and turns than a mountain road. In an episode that featured three format detours, South Florida’s Raul Cendoya and Jameica Duncombe received immunity for next week’s show while Orlando’s Rob and Charlotte Campbell escaped a strike that would have put them on the brink of elimination.

Finishing last in the episode, the Campbells should have been issued a strike – two strikes and teams are eliminated – but instead, they will be hit with an extended time penalty at the start of the Aug. 19 episode.

“This is the first half of a super leg,” revealed Highway 18 host Keri Murphy to the teams. “There are no strikes today.”

Team Campbell was relieved, but not everyone was happy with the turn of events.

“We ended up coming in fourth, but…we hear ‘here is your ball, no elimination today,’” commented Toronto’s Ashleigh Korzack, who, alongside teammate Ashley Davis, finished last in the previous episode.

Nor will there be any elimination next week for Team Cendoya and Duncombe. By finishing in first place in Tuesday’s episode, they will not compete in any challenges in next week’s show.

“That took some pressure off,” joked Cendoya. “We should have competitions to be exempt more often, as long as we finish first.”

Highway 18 is a double-elimination series, with teams finishing last in two episodes going home. Team Davis and Korzack and Team Cendoya and Duncombe and Team Davis and Korzack finished last in the first two episodes, respectively.

Tuesday’s episode began with the Start Challenge at Roberts Family Horse Farm in Ocala, where the teams had to hit a wedge shot into a landing area on the horse track before advancing to Daytona International Speedway, 84 miles away, for the Road Challenge. From there, teams raced to LPGA International in Daytona Beach for a dramatic Clubhouse Challenge.

Team Campbell lost significant ground when they did not take the interstate driving from Ocala to Daytona International Speedway, and ultimately arrived to LPGA International in last place, nearly 20 minutes behind Davis and Korzack.

It was there that the contestants should have buckled up because there were bumps ahead. After all the contestants arrived, Murphy revealed the first twist of the episode – teams were now off the clock – to the shock and dismay of Davis and Korzack.

“We get here and find out we are off the clock,” said Davis. “This is where I began to get pretty ticked off.”

“I understand there is always going to be twists that we can’t anticipate,” said Korzack. “We beat them by 20 minutes, and now time is stopped.”

The teams split up at LPGA International for a one-hole stroke play competition, where one team member played a par-4 and one team member played a par-5. The teams were assessed penalty strokes based on the order of their arrival, tacked on to the team’s combined score. Cendoya and Duncombe, who arrived to LPGA International in first, finished in a tie for first place with Jay and Peach Reynolds (Austin, Texas) with a combined 10 strokes. Team Andy Crain and Parker King (Goldsboro, N.C.) finished LPGA International in third place with 12 strokes, followed Campbell and Davis and Korzack tied for last place with 13 strokes. Team Cendoya and Duncombe and Team Davis and Korzack won the tie-breakers by arriving to the Clubhouse Challenge ahead of their competitors.

The 1,000 mile race through Florida from St. Augustine to Key West spans 10 weekly episodes, with each team battling the clock, the elements and each other to stave off elimination and for more than 100,000 in cash and prizes. Teams navigate their way through three golf skills challenges per episode: a Start Challenge, a Road Challenge and a Clubhouse Challenge.

WEEK 4

North Carolina’s Crain and King Finish Last;

On Verge of Elimination

By Jeremy Friedman

Andy Crain and Parker King (Goldsboro, N.C.) fell behind early on Tuesday’s episode and could not make up the difference, becoming the third team to move one step closer to elimination on Highway 18.

“Now it’s no mercy,” said King at the conclusion of the show. “We are going to give everything we have to overcome what is thrown at us.”

Highway 18 is a double-elimination series, with teams finishing last in two episodes going home. Crain and King join Raul Cendoya and Jameica Duncombe (South Florida) and Ashleigh Korzack and Ashley Davis (Toronto, Ont.) all with one strike.

“We are still going to have the same amount of fun, but this is going to make us focus a little more” said Crain.

The 1,000 mile race through Florida from St. Augustine to Key West will span 10 weekly episodes, with each team battling the clock, the elements and each other to stave off elimination, competing for more than $100,000 in cash and prizes. Hosted by Keri Murphy, teams navigate their way through three golf skills challenges per episode: a Start Challenge, a Road Challenge and a Clubhouse Challenge.

Tuesday’s episode began with the “ultimate bunker challenge” at the world’s most famous beach – Daytona Beach – where teams hit closest-to-the-pin sand shots to determine the order of their departure for the next challenge. Rob and Charlotte Campbell (Orlando, Fla.) started behind with a five-minute time penalty as a result of finishing last in the previous episode, while Cendoya and Duncombe had the day off via finishing in first and receiving immunity from elimination.

With the teams driving 54 miles to the Orlando Magic practice facility – the RDV Sportsplex – near Orlando for the Road Challenge, Team Crain-King and Team Davis-Korzack both made wrong turns, allowing the Campbells to move up the pack. Using hometown knowledge, the Campbells moved into first place when Jay and Peach Reynolds (Austin, Texas) also made a wrong turn off the highway.

“We are now officially in our own backyard,” said Rob Campbell. “So, we are doing much better with our driving.”

At the RDV Sportsplex, each team member had to make a 75-foot putt across the Orlando Magic basketball court into a box with the Magic cheerleaders rooting them on. Crain and King, arriving in third place, fell behind when King accidentally helped Korzack and Davis complete their challenge by hitting his putt into their box.

“About halfway there it started making a left turn,” said a dejected Crain when recalling King’s putt. “From there it was like slow motion, right into Ashleigh’s box.”

Thirty-four miles away stood ChampionsGate Golf Club for the Clubhouse Challenge, where a surprise awaited the four teams. Cendoya and Duncombe had pre-selected the holes for each team, and they did so with intent.

“If we could have a perfect world, we would have everybody with one strike,” said Cendoya when deciding which holes to assign. “So, we gave Jay and Peach the hardest hole.”

Having to make par-or-better in an alternate-shot format, Team Reynolds took the challenge head-on and recorded a birdie, crossing the finish line in first place.

Crain and King caught up to the remaining two teams during the Clubhouse Challenge but it wasn’t enough. The three remaining teams each completed their challenge in their second attempt. Team Campbell arrived in second place, followed by Davis and Korzack – who injured both quadriceps muscles during the episode – in third. With Crain and King furthest from the clubhouse, they could not make up time and crossed the finish line in last place, receiving their first strike in the series.

WEEK 5

Austin's Jay and Peach Reynolds Struggle;

One Step Closer to Elimination

By Jeremy Friedman

Halfway through the series, the intensity and emotions are starting to get the better of the teams. Father and son duo Peach and Jay Reynolds (Austin, Texas) made their first navigational error and struggled with their golf game on Tuesday’s episode, becoming the fourth team to move one step closer to elimination on Highway 18, GOLF CHANNEL’s newest original series.

“I care a lot about this competition” said Jay Reynolds at the conclusion of the show. “With the mistakes I made today, I was really angry with myself. We’ll come back from this.”

Highway 18 is a double-elimination series, with teams finishing last in two episodes going home. Team Reynolds joins Andy Crain and Parker King (Goldsboro, N.C.), Raul Cendoya and Jameica Duncombe (South Florida) and Ashleigh Korzack and Ashley Davis (Toronto, Ont.) all with one strike.

The 1,000 mile race through Florida from St. Augustine to Key West will span 10 weekly episodes, with each team battling the clock, the elements and each other to stave off elimination, competing for more than $100,000 in cash and prizes. Hosted by Keri Murphy, teams navigate their way through three golf skills challenges per episode: a Start Challenge, a Road Challenge and a Clubhouse Challenge.

Tuesday’s episode began with teams anchoring a segment for Golf Central – GOLF CHANNEL’s signature news show – at the network studios in Orlando. GOLF CHANNEL’s Tom Abbott served as the judge for the challenge.

“Overall, I think the teams learned that anchoring a golf news show is a lot harder than it appears on television,” said Abbott after the challenge.

Team Reynolds received the best praise from Abbott, and we’re allowed to leave GOLF CHANNEL for the Road Challenge first. But the lead did not last long.

They took a wrong turn and lost ground, arriving at the Nick Faldo Institute in Orlando in fourth place. Rob and Charlotte Campbell (Orlando, Fla.) used their hometown knowledge to arrive first.

The teams were then required to hole-out a 30-foot chip before advancing to the next challenge. With four of the five teams completing the challenge and moving on, Peach Reynolds struggled, taking more than 50 chips before holing the shot.

“I couldn’t get that chip shot in the hole,” said Peach. “It was a very frustrating experience.”

Ninety-seven miles away stood Innisbrook Resort, home to the PGA TOUR’s Transitions Championship, and where the teams were required to complete their selected hole in combined par-or-better before racing to the finish line. Upon arriving at the Copperhead Course, Team Reynolds could not believe their eyes when they saw Davis and Korzack – who arrived first and selected the five holes for the teams – sprinting to finish line.

“Our celebration might have been a little obnoxious, but we were just really ecstatic,” said Korzack.

Team Crain and King crossed the finish line in second, followed by Cendoya and Duncombe in third. It was down to the Campbells and the Reynolds to see who would receive their first strike.

Losing a battle with his emotions, Jay Reynolds struggled on the double dog-leg par-5, making par on his third attempt. The Campbells completed their hole first, sealing the Reynolds’ fate with their first strike in the series.

WEEK 6

Rules Violation Gives Cendoya and Duncombe Immunity

Rob and Charlotte Campbell Assessed Time Penalty

By Jeremy Friedman

Episode twists, accusations and a little déjà vu all took place on Tuesday’s Highway 18. Thanks to a rules violation during the final challenge of the episode, Raul Cendoya and Jameica Duncombe (South Florida) finished first and will receive immunity next week for the second time in the series. Meanwhile, Rob and Charlotte Campbell (Orlando, Fla.) once again escaped receiving a first strike that would have put them on the brink of elimination, but will start next week’s episode with a time penalty.

Cendoya and Duncombe finished first in the episode by defeating Andy Crain and Parker King (Goldsboro, N.C.) followed by Jay and Peach Reynolds (Austin, Texas) via a USGA rules violation in Match Play competition. While studying his par putt, Peach Reynolds grounded his putter in the line between his ball and the hole, a rules violation resulting in Cendoya and Duncombe’s victory.

“He just touched his line,” said Cendoya when Peach Reynolds was studying his putt during their match. “He said ‘I am going to hit it right here, and he touched the line.’”

“Peach if you touched your line, it is a penalty and we lose the hole,” said Jay Reynolds.

After studying the film, Darren King, PGA Professional for Sara Bay CC, confirmed the infraction, which is a violation of USGA rules 8.2 b. The violation resulted in a loss-of-hole, sealing the match for Cendoya and Duncombe. They will be safe from elimination in next week’s episode and will once again sit out the challenges.

“If I have the opportunity to choose who I can send home, it is going to be the ones who are my toughest competition,” said Duncombe at the end of the episode. “That is Peach and Jay.”

When the Campbells arrived last at Sara Bay Country Club – site of the historic match between golf legends Walter Hagen and Bobby Jones – host Keri Murphy explained they had to sit out the Clubhouse Challenge and will be assessed a significant time penalty on next week’s show.

“We are the luckiest team ever,” said Rob Campbell. We’ve performed poorly at the right time.”

Highway 18 is a double-elimination series, with teams finishing last in two episodes going home. Heading into next week’s episode, Jay and Peach Reynolds (Austin, Texas) Andy Crain and Parker King (Goldsboro, N.C.), Raul Cendoya and Jameica Duncombe (South Florida) and Ashleigh Korzack and Ashley Davis (Toronto, Ont.) each have one strike.

The 1,000 mile race through Florida from St. Augustine to Key West will span 10 weekly episodes, with each team battling the clock, the elements and each other to stave off elimination, competing for more than $100,000 in cash and prizes. Hosted by Keri Murphy, teams navigate their way through three golf skills challenges per episode: a Start Challenge, a Road Challenge and a Clubhouse Challenge.

Tuesday’s episode began with a trivia challenge at Treasure Island on the Gulf Coast. Teams had to answer two questions correctly about past experiences in the series before advancing with a pair of hickory golf clubs to Bellair Country Club, the oldest golf club in Florida.

At Bellair CC, the teams had to complete a 30-yard chip in two shots or better using the hickory clubs provided. With three teams completing the challenge and moving on, the Campbells and Korzack and Davis struggled, taking 15 and 18 attempts, respectively, before advancing.

Upon arrival at Sara Bay, four of the five teams battled it out in Match Play, with the Campbells sitting out the challenge by arriving last. Team Reynolds and Cendoya and Duncombe won their opening matches, setting up the dramatic finishing match with the Reynolds on the par-3 eighth hole.

WEEK 8

South Florida’s Cendoya and Duncombe Eliminated

Three Teams Remain Battling for $100,000 in Cash and Prizes

By Jeremy Friedman

With three of the four remaining teams on the verge of elimination, Jameica Duncombe (Coconut Creek, Fla.) was the victim of bad breaks at the par-3 challenge at Trump International Golf Club on Tuesday’s Highway 18. Duncombe and partner Raul Cendoya (Weston, Fla.) crossed the finish line in last place, becoming the second team eliminated from the series.

“I think we did better than a lot of people were expecting,” said an emotional Cendoya at the conclusion of the show. “No matter what, we have a sense of accomplishment. That’s pretty special, and nobody can take that away.”

Using hometown knowledge to their advantage, Cendoya and Duncombe arrived to the final challenge of the episode at Trump International in first place. The challenge required each team playing one of four holes with the same yardage – 190 yards for the men, 167 yards for the women – in a combined score of par-or-better before racing to the finish line. Cendoya and Duncombe selected to play the 18th hole, closest to the clubhouse.

While Cendoya made par on his first attempt, Duncombe struggled. She found the water hazard in her first two attempts and missed a six-foot par putt on her third try. She made a 20-foot birdie putt on her fourth attempt, but it was too little, too late.

Highway 18 is a double-elimination series, with teams finishing last in two episodes going home. Heading into next week’s episode, three teams remain: Jay and Peach Reynolds (Austin, Texas) and Ashleigh Korzack and Ashley Davis (Toronto, Ont.) each have one strike, while Rob and Charlotte Campbell (Orlando, Fla.) remain the only team with no strikes.

The 1,000 mile race through Florida from St. Augustine to Key West will span 10 weekly episodes, with each team battling the clock, the elements and each other to stave off elimination, competing for more than $100,000 in cash and prizes. Hosted by Keri Murphy, teams navigate their way through three golf skills challenges per episode: a Start Challenge, a Road Challenge and a Clubhouse Challenge.

Tuesday’s episode began on the shores of Lake Okeechobee, where teams participated in a chipping challenge and then raced in airboats to their vehicles before advancing to Donald Trump’s ultra-exclusive Mar-a-Lago Club for the Road Challenge.

At Mar-a-Lago, teams played “Croquet Golf,” with departure times adjusted based on the length of time it took each team to finish the challenge.

Davis and Korzack, arriving at Mar-a-Lago Club in last place, made up time at the Road and Clubhouse Challenges and crossed the finish line first, giving the Toronto natives a boost of confidence.

“We feel like we are the underdogs,” said Korzack after crossing the finish line. “It’s good to be the underdog because we don’t have the added pressure. Our confidence is sky high right now.”

Jay and Peach Reynolds led the first two challenges of the episode. Their lead quickly diminished when they got lost en-route to Trump International, arriving for the final challenge in third place. They made up time on the course, finishing in second just behind Davis and Korzack.

Rob and Charlotte Campbell (Orlando, Fla.), the lone team without a strike in the series, again were the recipients of good fortune. The brother-sister team arrived to the final challenge at Trump International in last place. After struggling on the course, they believed they were in for their first strike. However, they saw Cendoya and Duncombe behind them when they arrived at the clubhouse. After they crossed the finish and avoided their first strike, Charlotte broke down with emotion.

“It’s been a long road,” said Charlotte at the conclusion of the show. “Every challenge we go to there are more obstacles. Every second matters.”

 

WEEK 9

Austin’s Jay and Peach Reynolds Cannot Overcome Injury, Eliminated From Series

Two Teams Remain Battling for $100,000 in Emotional Season Finale, Sept. 30

By Jeremy Friedman

Doral’s Blue Monster claimed its latest victim on Tuesday’s episode of Highway 18. Jay Reynolds suffered a severe elbow injury following the episode’s opening challenge, forcing him to compete in the remainder of the show one-handed and relying on his father, Peach, to carry the load. It proved to be too daunting of a task, and the father-son duo crossed the finish line in last place, eliminated from the series.

“If we had made it to tomorrow healthy, assuming that it is golf related, I can’t imagine we would have lost,” said Jay at the conclusion of the episode. “Not too many can say they got to do something like this with their Dad. I’m lucky to have him as my dad and am glad we got to share this experience.”

The Reynolds’ elimination sets up a showdown on an emotional season finale between the two remaining teams: Toronto natives and best friends Ashley Davis and Ashley Korzack, and Orlando residents and brother-sister tandem Rob and Charlotte Campbell, airing Tuesday, Sept. 30. It will be an all-out sprint on the finale when the teams will race to the finish line to claim the $100,000 grand prize as Highway 18 champion.

Highway 18 is a double-elimination series, with teams finishing last in two episodes going home. The 1,000 mile race through Florida from St. Augustine to Key West spans 10 weekly episodes, with each team battling the clock, the elements and each other to stave off elimination, competing for more than $100,000 in cash and prizes. Hosted by Keri Murphy, teams navigate their way through three golf skills challenges per episode: a Start Challenge, a Road Challenge and a Clubhouse Challenge.

Tuesday’s episode began with the three teams competing in a best-ball challenge at Doral. Davis and Korzack was the first team to finish the challenge, followed by the Reynolds and the Campbells. While sprinting to their vehicles, Jay slipped on the sidewalk, landing on his right elbow.

“I don’t think I am going to be hitting any full golf shots today,” said Jay while icing down his arm en-route to the next challenge.

Teams made their way from Miami to Key Largo, where two surprise guests were waiting for them behind the counter at Shell World, a local tourist attraction.

“Welcome to Shell World, where selling shells is our specialty,” said Parker King and Andy Crain in unison, the first team eliminated from the series.

The Reynolds team arrived first at Shell World, followed by Davis and Korzack and the Campbells. The three teams were given instructions by Crain and King as to where to locate their SkyCaddies containing the destination of the final challenge, which took place at Sombrero Country Club in Marathon Key.

With a comfortable lead heading into the Clubhouse Challenge, the Reynolds stopped to have Jay’s elbow examined by a local physician.

“Once we realized there was a doctor accessible, yeah we had to check it out,” said Jay. “I just need to play golf today.”

Severe soft tissue damage inside the elbow and a bruised wrist were the diagnosis, which forced Jay to play the final challenge at Sombrero Country Club in Marathon one-handed.

Davis and Korzack arrived to Sombrero CC with a large lead over the Campbells, who took a wrong turn to get to Sombrero CC. As a result of the Reynolds stopping to have Jay’s arm examined, they arrived to Sombrero C.C. behind the Campbells in last place.

Using SkyCaddies to find their clues on the course, the teams were required to play two designated holes in a scramble format, birdie or better.

The Campbells birdied both of their holes and made up valuable time, crossing the finish line in first place and advancing to the finale. Davis and Korzack, struggling on their first hole, birdied the second hole in their first try and crossed the finish line in second place. The Reynolds made a valiant effort at the Clubhouse Challenge. Jay competed one-handed and made both birdie putts to complete the challenge, but the lost time proved too much to overcome, becoming the third team eliminated in the series.

“It’s bittersweet again because the way it went down with Jay and Peach,” said Korzack at the conclusion of the show. “But hey, we’re here, and we’re going to go all the way.”
