Big Break

Well, the Masters is finally behind us. A little anti-climatic, don’t you think? It’s such a big build up, and then Sunday night, it’s all over. Oh well. A big congratulations to Ángel Cabrera of Argentina for a solid win. It was a little sad to see Kenny Perry blow the last two holes, but hey…that’s golf right? And watching …

You know, I’ve been blogging for a while now. And in this virtual world in which I live, I never know who’s reading what I write…if anyone. So, people ask me why I do this and I just say…”I write because I love writing; I write about golf because I love golf.” It’s really as simple as that. But it’s …

Well, it’s only 8 more weeks until the debut of Big Break PEI, and I can’t wait. Although I’ve watched all the Big Breaks, Big Break PEI will be the 3rd in the series where I get to interact with the contestants as they bite their nails watching themselves on TV. My interviews with many of the Big Break and …

Well, the wait is over! Spring is almost in the air and Big Break PEI is just around the corner. Woohoo! I have been struggling since the fall with what to do with my Tuesday nights. 🙂 I was so used to doing post-episode interviews with the Big Break Ka’anapali, Highway 18 and Big Break Michigan contestants that when Haymes …

When I started watching Big Break X Michigan tonight I did a quick look at the poll on Golf Channel to see who was favored. I have to say that I was not surprised to see Hugo and Camila out in front, given what I’ve read on the forums, but I was surprised to see by how much. It would …

Shocked to see Amber and Robbie go home tonight? Well join the club! 72% of Golf Channel viewers said they thought Amber and Robbie would win over Bernie and Haymes tonight, while only 28% thought Haymes and Bernie would head into next week’s finals. Whew! I am exhausted. I was on the edge of my seat for the entire hour. …

Being “in the red” is usually a great thing in golf – negative scores are great – Tiger’s roars in red on Sunday are worth TIVO’ing – golf and red just go together in golf. But not tonight. Tonight, black ruled! Bernie and Haymes in their pink/black attire just didn’t have what it took and they quickly found themselves sitting …

Well, this is a very special week for one of our Big Break X Michigan ladies. Andrea VanderLende has made it to the Q school finals and is competing with other former Big Breakers for their 2009 LPGA cards. I always feel a bit desperate for these young women as they fight so hard for so few spots. It is …

…”The Judge” rules! Wow! Are you as amazed as I am at Haymes’ ability to pull off the shots when he really needs them? He started off behind the 8 ball tonight and then nailed a drive when it looked like all was lost, followed by a great shot over the water. They say golf is a game of inches …

Okay, okay…an eagle is a birdie technically in the real world, but since when is golf “real”. For me Big Break’s are mostly unreal and sometimes surreal…and frankly…I had to find a way to use that alliteration in my title. 😉 What a rollercoaster tonight was! From Haymes’ new baby surprise (Congratulations Dad!!!), to bullet dodging by Amber and Robbie …
