Alexis “Monet” Flores Remember that name because you will be hearing it a lot in the next few decades. Only 11 years old with 67 golf championships to her credit, Monet is a phenomenal young golfer who is destined for a great future on the links. When I learned that Monet will be playing in the Arizona Women’s Open with many …

Earlier this week I received an email out of the blue from a UK company asking me to take a look at a new video  released called “Poulter Vision”. Naturally as an avid Ian Poulter fan, I had to take a look.  It made me smile. In fact, I have now watched it 5 times. At first I didn’t think …

Only a few more days for Big Break Domincan Republic and I can already hear the buzz in golf cyberspace.  Not only does this show bring together the most “memorable” contestants we’ve seen over the past few years, it is a whole different ballgame. Apparently, this is a men against the women competition without elimination every week.  The Big Break Champion …

Last week I came home to find that my Golf Digest magazine had arrived – time for me and my golfguy to play tug of war to see who can read it first. For the first time in many months, I won the battle and immediately sat down to figure out ‘why I can’t putt’. Seems putting is the theme …

Recently I played golf with a nice young woman from our club who I’d never met. She loved the game, but she only played for fun. She didn’t even keep score; she enjoyed the outdoors, scenery and company of friends more than the sport. At the beginning of the round, she asked me if I ever did any golf betting. …

And rightly so! The old adage, “Drive for show; Putt for Dough!” certainly rang true on those 18 holes.  Lili said it best, “Carling was a putting machine!” Wow! What a perfect ending to probably my favorite Big Break of all time.  Lili is certainly a great player and I feel badly for her that she won’t be able to …

This is the first time ever that I have invited a reader of this blog to contribute their thoughts on a Big Break series outside of normal comments, and I am so glad that I did.   In the last couple of weeks, I have enjoyed the comments from Bluefalcon from New York on my Big Break Sandals posts and believe …

Did you know there hasn’t been a professional women’s golf event in Arizona since 2002? Arizona lost the Tucson LPGA event a few years ago and the Phoenix event this year.  Nothing has replaced them.    How can that be?  Arizona is like golf mecca for goodness sake!  Where are the ladies??!! It’s such a sad state of affairs… But …

Remember when long drive champion Jamie Sadlowski visited the Big Break set?  And remember what Sara did that day?  She drove her ball over 270 yards!  From that point on, everyone thought Sara’s long game was rock solid. But last night Sara faced a bit of a landslide with her driver.  Everyone who golfs knows what that feels like.  And …

I always hate it when the contestants I’ve come to know and interview finally take the walk on the Big Break. I never know when, or if, it will happen, but when you interview 3 ladies every week, you know for sure at least 2 of them will be in this position at some point. Taryn was given two “Saves” by …
