Review: ‘The Hawk’ Season 1, Episode 6 “The Genesis Invitational”

Episode 6 begins with The Hawk, Lonnie, and Lance at the Genesis Invitational and talking with each other as they head to the first hole. After the three make their shots, Fisk starts trying to get in Lance’s head, Lance and Lonnie mess up their shots, and Natalie discovers Lance’s secret.

Golden Fisk continues to dominate, while Lance struggles, and Lonnie keeps up, being four strokes behind Fisk. When Lance, Lonnie, and Fisk are walking to the next hole, Nat confronts Lance, and exposes his secret to everyone (sharing dick picks to other women, and his half million-dollar debt to a guy named Preacher).  After Natalie storms off and gets a pep talk from Stacy, and Lonnie gets into a fight with Gustavo, Lance meets Dirk Ketchum of Tomorrows Golf League.

He asks Lance if he wants to do some simulator golf, as long as he can get Lonnie to compete with him. He agrees after learning of the 3-million-dollar reward. Later on, Stacy talks to Lance about how he has to beat Lonnie. Lance is down in the dumps about it, so she tells him a story about Lonnie that gets him angry, and ready to take Lonnie down.

After a night of missing Sam, Lonnie gets a pickle jar stuck on his hand, and has to play the next morning one handed, with a pickle jar on his hand. The sports news coverage reveals that this pickle jar incident unfortunately caused Lonnie to be disqualified for unauthorized equipment use. They then talk about how focused Lance is, and say that if Lonnie doesn’t play to the level that got him back into the PGA Tour, he will never get another shot at the US Open.

As Lonnie is heading out, Lance confronts him, and takes the pickle jar off his hand. He then says that the pickle jar was an act, further stating that Lonnie is too scared to face him on the court. Lonnie of course tells him he’s not afraid to face him, to which Lance tells him to go against him at the simulator golf in Las Vegas. Lonnie agrees to do the Vegas match, and they go their separate ways. 

 

This episode seemed like it had more funny parts, like the fight between Lonnie and Gustavo, and the ridiculousness of the pickle jar on Lonnie’s hand, with him trying to figure out how to swing the club. Overall, the episode was still alright, and it, like episode 5, might be one of the better ones so far.
