Well, tonight’s Big Break PEI episode was a combination of chemistry, tension, and jockularity. Chemistry “allegedly” between Derek and Nicole, self-inflicted nerves by Kim and good old Irish humor from “Ms. Feherty” (AKA Brenda McLarnon). I guess the guys were feeling a bit better after this show, given they lost two of their own the first two weeks, but I …

Big Break PEI: Episode 2: Football Fumbles
Well, episode two for me was a big shocker tonight. I was looking at the Golf Channel website today, checking up on their latest poll and William was a very close second to Derek in the voting on who would win BB PEI. I won’t tell you how I voted, but William’s elimination came as a complete surprise for me. …

So, what did you think of the first episode of Big Break PEI? Personally, I thought it had the best opening challenge of any Big Break yet. Leveling the playing field right off the bat with a 3 foot knee knocker putt was brilliant, especially with the mind games the Golf Channel played with the contestants as they headed to …

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 …

This weekend, Fore Her Magazine released its April issue and I was honored to have the publisher choose 3 of my articles to include in it: Page 50: Steele Canyon …

Back in December 2008, I read a blog interview with Carolyn Bivens regarding Social Media and Equality. In it she said, “We recognize the importance of reaching today’s youth and our global fanbase via social networking sites, and continue to explore opportunities for us in this emerging arena. We recently have established Facebook, Twitter and YouTube sites.” Well, I just …

I’ve been watching European Golf for many years now and I admit I often find it more enjoyable to watch than the regular PGA. When I tell people that, they think I’m crazy or even unpatriotic, but it’s true. And it’s because of the “characters” that play “over there”, on and off the course. First, there’s Renton Laidlaw – not …

I just read today in The Australian about Tiger Woods being paid $3M to play in this year’s Australian Masters. All he has to do is show up and he’s $3M richer. What makes it even more amazing is that the winner of the event will only take home $270,000. Does this seem right to you? Now I know this …

Life is funny. You wake up everyday and really never know what’s going to happen. But if you are open to whatever comes your way, life will often give you some sunshine on a day where hail was forecasted. Such was my day today. I woke up to a horrible forecast in Vancouver – cold, rain, chance of hail – …

Last year, I was honored to meet a lot of wonderful young women on the Duramed FUTURES Tour vying for their LPGA cards through the Big Break Ka’anapali and Michigan series and Highway 18. The struggles those women go through to get sponsorship really hit home, and since then, I’ve been wondering what could be done about it. Well, while …
