Finally, after months of waiting, Big Break Disney is finally here! Is it what you’ve been waiting for? I certainly found myself glued to the TV tonight. And as always, there were some surprises waiting for me. It was great that the Golf Channel started the competition off with some serious competition. That first immunity challenge was quite the opening, …

Only 1 week until Big Break Disney airs its first episode. Are you as excited as I am? The competitors look very impressive. And this will be my first chance to interview an all male cast. Woohoo! To kick off the series, I thought I’d introduce you to one of the contestants that really deserves his big break – Kevin …

After two weeks vacationing with the kids this summer, my golfguy and I wanted a getaway just for ourselves – somewhere where we could golf, but also enjoy being pampered with luxury accommodations, fine dining, and a spa – all on the water, of course. And as luck would have it, I received, out of the blue, an email promoting …

As a “public golfer” I occasionally get to play at private clubs where friends of mine have memberships, but most of the time, private country clubs and courses are off limits to me and my golfguy. It’s not that I don’t love public courses. There are a ton of them that are great – just look at Chambers Bay – …

Well, the 2009 Fedex Cup is almost over and the golf season is winding down. Where did the time go? I feel like it was just yesterday we were watching The Masters and talking about the legendary Bobby Jones, as we do every year when the azaleas are in bloom. Well, this year, we get to remember him twice because …

Tick tick tick…only 45 days left until the first episode of Big Break Disney hits the air on Tuesday, October 13th at 10 p.m. ET only on Golf Channel. The cast is an interesting one – all male, with some “celebrities” in the mix, the brother of a PGA player and, someone I’m excited to watch – Kevin Erdman – …

Wow! I just watched the Solheim Cup finale and I was in awe. I love watching match play – there is no more entertaining way to watch golf than players teeing off against each other – Mano-a-mano. It brought to mind the Ryder Cup, one year away, where the best of the best from Europe and the USA will face-off …

We all know, there are no guarantees in life. And…there are even fewer in golf. Certainly Michelle Wie learned that lesson the hard way, living in a world of unrealistic expectations, and dare I say, exploitation, by adults who were supposed to take care of her. But Michelle was not alone. Others paid dearly for jumping on the gravy train …

Well, this is a first for me. Although I haven’t been blogging about golf for too many years, I’ve never seen the PGA or USGA reach out to the blogging community for content and then turn around and give something back. But for this year’s PGA Championship, the PGA has tried something new and I like it… Earlier this week, …

It’s not very often you find a links style course in Canada. So when I had the opportunity to play The Links at Crowbush in PEI, a sister course to Rodd Mill River, home of Big Break PEI, I jumped at the chance. Crowbush is on the north shore of PEI and is a perfect combination of links and luxury. …
