    While not a terrible episode, this is not one of the best I have ever seen. The problem I had with this episode is that it seemed not to go anywhere. There have been other episodes where the victim's death was unorthodox, but they seemed a bit more compelling. I did not feel very compelled with this episode and was not really interested as to where it was going. Ray and Nick's debate about the game of golf itself seemed a bit contrived. Nick saying that he thought all doctors played golf was unneccessary. This episode can probably be skipped.moreless

    Believe it or not, this was the first time I've ever watched CSI. I know it seems impossible, but in the show's lengthy history I just never had the time to tune in. I am a fan of CSI: NY but this was my first taste of the original.

    I like CBS utilizing professional athletes on its shows (Pau Gasol in Numbers and CSI: Miami, Tito Ortiz in Numbers and countless golfers in this episode) and that is part of the reason I tuned in tonight. I may have tuned in for that, but I stayed for a really well-done episode. The show might be a little too high on showing the actual lab work and I think that is why the ratings are down this year, but this was a good episode with a nice twist near the end.

    Well worth watching.moreless
  • A former pro golfer is found dead on a golf course.

    An entire episode was devoted to a boring case of an even more boring sport -- not the writers' finest idea ever. The character interaction wasn't handled well, and all the interesting conversations (such as between Greg and Sara) were cut off before they could become interesting. The entire episode felt disjointed and the dialogue and jokes were forced. To top it all off, the conclusion was unsatisfactory and felt very rushed. They didn't even leave themselves enough time to explain exactly what the victim's handprints being on the club in that position meant. Perhaps it was an episode meant for hardcore golf shippers, but for an average viewer, it was just meh.moreless

    • Nick: There were at least four cases reported world wide of golfers accidentlly killed themselves by breaking their clubs. Ray: Well there's a lesson in that. Catherine: What's that? Ray & Nick: Don't drive angry.

    • Nick; You know, Ray, for somebody who doesn't like golf, you seem to know an awful lot about it. Ray: It's not that I don't like golf. It's just that you have to focus your mind, practically every fiber of your begin on a small white ball that you wanna hit just the right way, and then when you hit it, the feeling is exhilerating. And so you chase the small white ball all day, so you can hit it exactly the same way. You chase that feeling. Kinda like cocaine. Not exactly the best hobby for an obsessive personality. Nick: Yeah, people like that are better suited for a job in criminalists.

    • Catherine (after Hodges finds the primary crime scene): See what you can accomplish when your pride's on the line. Hodges: Everyday of my life.

    • Nick: Hey, the balls in the shag bag are Jupiter PTXs, and the one's in the front rack are Fushita's. Sara (unenthused): Well, that's facinating. Nick: Different balls are designed with different playing characteristics. Some hit the green and stop dead, others have a harder core for the long game. You know, each one is unique, Sara. Sara (teasing): Aww, just like snowflakes.

    • Sara: So, Dr. Ray, what's your handicap? Ray: I don't play golf. Nick: I thought all doctors played golf. Sara: Maybe only the rich ones. Nick: Now, that's true, anybody can play golf, there are plenty of public golf courses. Sara: Sure there are. Ray: Mark Twain referred to golf as: 'A good walk, spoiled'. (Sara laughs) Nick (laughs): It can be, if you don't stay in bounds, believe me.

    • Cathrine: (About the vic) Find out what's on his shoes. Hodges: Oh. Is that all? Cathrine: We don't have a primary crime scene. We need to know where he was. Hodges: (holding the shoe to his head like a psychic) Um, I'm thinking... a golf course.

    • Catherine: In other words, you got nothing. Hodges: When you put it that way, it makes me sound ineffectual. Catherine: (smirks) That's the secret to good leadership.

    • Greg: You know, golf always struck me as the kind of sport that might appeal to Grissom. Sara: (chuckles) I don't know. It's never come up. Greg: Sometimes I wonder if you two are really married. Sara: Well, now that you mention it... Just kidding. Greg: 6,000 miles, huh? Sara: So far, so good. Greg: (smiles) All right.

    • Catherine (to Ray): So we've got a club head cover but no clubs... A little overdressed for night putting!
