It’s January 23, 2011 and yesterday I hit my first golf ball in almost 2 months!   It was heaven being out on the range – the sun was shining; it was 48 degrees, I had new grips on my clubs and I was feeling great!  I was so happy, I even enjoyed the bad shots – just hitting the …

Everyone has a chronic problem (or two or three) in their golf game.   For some, it’s the dreaded yips, while others struggle big time with slicing off the tee. For me, it’s alignment. I am forever offline when I go to hit my ball. My pre-shot routine is pretty standard. I go into my “think box” behind the ball, …

A while ago I received a couple of books from a publisher asking if I’d like to review them.  Never one to turn down the opportunity to read about more golf tips, I said, “Sure, I’d love to read them.”  Well, to say they were a bit of a surprise is an understatement, but they couldn’t have come at better …

On January 5th, 2010, I started my 10 step journey towards “better golf”. I wanted to prove to myself that at “my age” I could put together a program that would help me reduce my handicap by 3 points in 12 months. I learned a lot of lessons along the way and thought I’d share some of them with you. …

Hey everyone! I received a detailed comment from one of my readers, BlueFalcon on my last Big Break DR post. It was too big to fit into the little comment box, so I am happy BlueFalcon agreed to be a guest blogger on golfgal.ca once again. BlueFalcon always provides terrific commentary, as you may remember from his post in Sept …

I’ve been doing weekly interviews with Big Break contestants since 2008, when Big Break Ka’anapali aired. My first post-episode chat was with Christina Lecuyer.  That one post set me up for many future interviews with golfers who sometimes left me speechless, sometimes angry and sometimes laughing out loud.  But they never left me bored. I loved them all! When I …

It’s almost December 2010. Where did the year go? It seems like only yesterday I was contemplating my NY’s resolutions that I knew I would break faster than it takes to yell “FORE!!!”.  For the past ten years, I’ve vowed every year to lose weight and get into shape. Sound familiar? I even had the magic numbers all picked out …

I want you to meet a friend of mine.  His name is Donovan Tildesley. He’s 26 years old, a graduate from the University of British Columbia and an insurance broker. Donovan’s also a golfer and a competitive swimmer. And he loves nothing better than to ski the steepest double black diamond runs he can find. Sounds like your ordinary athletic …

Last week I gushed over playing golf at The Challenge at Manele on Lana’i in Hawaii.  This week, I’ll share a completely different, but just as memorable golf course on the same island – The Experience at Koele. If you make it over to Lana’i, don’t leave home without giving Koele a try. The Experience at Koele starts at 2,000 …

After spending 2 weeks on Maui last year playing golf at some of the world’s most beautiful golf resorts every day, I didn’t think life could get any better.  And then I experienced Lana’i. Only a 45 minute ferry ride from Lahaina, Lana’i is the smallest of the inhabited islands in Hawaii, but one that packs the biggest punch per …
