It was April Fools Day 2009 and Mother Nature was playing a cruel joke on me. I woke up, looked out the window and there it was – snow! Yes, snow… in April! Arg!!! At first I thought, “Okay, I’ll just go back to bed and maybe when I wake up, it will all be gone.” But then I got …

Big Break PEI Episode 9: Gerina’s Not just Anybody
At one point during tonight’s show, Gerina was quoted as saying, “It’s anybody’s game.” And she was right. But unfortunately, Gerina wasn’t anybody tonight. Tonight’s episode saw some typical Gerina shots – smoking drives we’ve come to expect from this long bomber. But then we witnessed the unexpected – a 147 yard shot into a greenside bunker that was instrumental …

But the question I have is, “Who was he fighting? – The other players or himself?” Tonight while watching the Big Break PEI, I was really shocked to hear Aaron call himself a “coward” when his chip shot came up short in his playoff against Derek.

So often we put on pedestals people we’ve never met – people we only read about or see on TV – people who’d probably never even tip their hats if they passed us on the street.

When I read the article I found myself doing a double take to see if I was accidentally reading the National Enquirer and not a distinguished publication like Time. In his effort to be witty, the author misrepresented an enterprise of young, …

When tonight’s episode began, I felt like Andrew Magee from Big Break Ka’anapali, yelling, “What’s going on!!!!” Oh my goodness! What was going on between Brenda and Nicole tonight? We’ve been through 4 episodes already and everything was hunky dorey between everyone (so it would seem). And then suddenly… POW – Cat fight city! Brenda and Nicole go at each …

One of my favorite places to play golf is Las Vegas – not for the gambling in the casinos, but the gambles I take on all the great courses the city of sin has to offer. I’ve played at probably 10 courses in Vegas, and liked most of them, but one of my favorite courses is Legacy Golf Club in …
