John Schneider to Star as Washed-Up Golf Champ

by Bob Sassone, posted Feb 18th 2010 4:30PM
John SchneiderEx-'Dukes of Hazzard'/'Smallville' star John Schneider has signed on to play the lead in 'Back Nine,' Spike TV's new show about a washed-up golf pro attempting a comeback. But that's not the most interesting tidbit in this piece of TV casting news, it's the name of the character who will serve as Schneider's caddy on the show and what he's addicted to.

The golf pro's caddy will be named Tiger, and he's addicted to sex! At first I thought, wow, that's pretty edgy, even for the gung-ho Spike. But The Hollywood Reporter says that the character's name (and his, um, hobby) were in the script a year before the recent events surrounding Tiger Woods and his various women. Now I guess the only question is, even if it was in the script before all of the real-life stuff happened, will Spike change the name of the character and what he likes?

He also is Making Music CD's and seling them at the store
He has 3 Vol's Of his Fav's and is now working on the 4th
This is Music you will not find in the store's I know because I've tryed.This is songs like Someone to miss,Welcome home,Quite Man,Bad case of love,and on each one he talk's about the song before it plays,tell some time why he like's the song and or who wrote the song ,these Cs'a is a must have for all Fan's.

Thank you,Lisa

I for one am proud of John Schneider.

He has made a lot of good family movie's and done a lot to help those in need and also he has some great Music out.Not,even counting the TV series that he has done.
No one is trying to make them watch any thing they don't want to watch,but they also don't need to be trying to imply that he is any thing less than a good person and Actor as well as Singer.

Thank you again

Thank you ,Lisa

And you,also were right.
Any one that don't want to watch ,well no one is trying to make them.
I may not get to see it but,not because I don't want to.
It will Depend on what time it comes on,as I work 3rd shift.But,you can bet if I can I will,and I'm not much of a TV person.But,I've tryed to see all that he is in or on.
Have a great night
And ,again Thank you

Yes,you are right it is a kind of ruff Subject ,but the problem is very real,there are people out there that has that problem.And,as far as I know there haven't been that many Movie's that has had that as a story line.
As for watching TV I don't watch much either I'm very pickie about what I watch,But I have no Problem watching any thing John Schneider is in because ,I know he try's to pick Scripts that are good for the whole family to sit down a watch togeather.But,I also know that He has to make a living as well.You have to remember He has 3 Children to take care of.I'm Sure it's not Cheap to live in and around Hollywood ,California.Give John a Break he does the best he can under the Circumstance's,he don't write the script's,the one he wrote was a very great Family Movie(Collier & CO. Hot Pursuit) and as for that Matter I own quite a few of his movie's like Lighting fire from the Sky that was a good Family movie they are there if you look for them.If you think this is long I'm sorry it just up set's me that people are Complaining about things that if they would just Check first they wouldn't be complaining.John Richard Schneider is a good person and don't deserve to be ut down because,he he makes a movie now and again that we may or may not really like.If that's the case look at all the other's you are leaving out.John is doing his best at taking care of his family and making movie's you'll like at the same time do you really think that can be easy?Do you know how much time he spends going place's asking what people like and what they would what to see?No,I'm sure you don't So,light'en up on John Schneider...

Well said Faye,
Lets not forget that John Schneider is an ACTOR who plays many different parts.
Perhaps I should post the definition for those of you who just do not seem to get it.
I for one look forward to seeing him regularly on a series again but anyone who is uncomfortable with the contents of the show certainly should not watch.

My biggist complaint with Spike TV and a couple others is their habit of making the screen so dark you are essentially listening to a radio show instead of watching TV. I wish they would pay some attention to the fact that some of us like the idea of moving pictures right in our very own living rooms.

I remember John from the Dukes of Hazzard, God I miss those years, but any way I would dream about John (lady's you know what I mean) and seeing his picture just brings back those wonderful feelings, it feels so good just knowing he's coming back to TV!

I won't watch it no matter what they call him with the story line described above. Nobody makes tv programs or movies that are fit to watch anymore. Maybe one once in a while. That is why I don't watch any of them, they are repulsive to me.

Dan's idea was the best...Tiger to Lyons. And to add a way in this program for John Schneider to sing would make it the perfect program. Only heard his singing in last 2 years and we (older ladies) freaked out. I know the younger ones would too. We listen to at least 4 of his songs every day. WOW!!!
