This is the worst part of doing these weekly interviews – saying goodbye to a very special Big Breaker. Natalia has been very gracious over the past 5 weeks, taking time out of her busy schedule to share her thoughts on each show and give us a behind-the-scenes look into the show. It’s sad knowing I won’t be watching her compete next week. …

Adios to Aubrey While watching the Big Break this week I was thinking about how the team play aspect of the show was actually helping those who were weak, while hurting those who were strong. The speed golf immunity challenge was fun to watch, but did it really separate the wheat from the chaff? I don’t think so. And I …

Another “interesting” turn of events on Big Break Atlantis this week.

Imagine being on top of the world because you were one of the chosen few who made a team, only to have …

Yoga. Never been a big fan of it. Tried it a few times when I was much younger and discovered that what looks really easy, is actually hard. And I fell over a lot! Give me some free weights, elastics and a treadmill and I’m fine. Putting me in a room with a bunch of tight young bodies sweating for …

It’s been almost a year since my last Big Break Indian Wells interview with champion David Byrne and the always entertaining Shank and Carl. I sadly had to miss BB Ireland due to other commitments, but that only makes this new Big Break Atlantis that much more exciting for me. As usual the stakes are high with the champion receiving an exception …

It always amazed me that the greatest athletes in the world like Michael Jordan and Wayne Gretzky find golf difficult. They have to run and throw, or skate and shoot while balls and pucks are flying at lightening speeds, and yet they find hitting a little white stationary ball hard. But then I read Roy Palmer’s book, Golf Sense, and …

Every year I get away with some wonderful golfgals who love the game almost as much as I do. This year is no exception and I’m heading to the Okanagan in May with 20+ ladies of the links to play some of the best courses BC has to offer, including Predator Ridge’s new Ridge Course which was named Best new …

With the first two majors behind us now (Kraft Nabisco and The Masters), the golf season has finally arrived in the great white north. Did it take longer this year, or is it just me? I am usually on my local course by February, but this year, it was April before I was able to grip it and flip it (ripping …
