Well, it’s only 8 more weeks until the debut of Big Break PEI, and I can’t wait. Although I’ve watched all the Big Breaks, Big Break PEI will be the 3rd in the series where I get to interact with the contestants as they bite their nails watching themselves on TV. My interviews with many of the Big Break and …

Could the timing be any worse? Tonight Golf Channel airs a documentary called Uneven Fairways, hosted by one of my favorite actors, Samuel L. Jackson. And just two hours ago, Reuters reported that 13-time winner Jim Thorpe, another favorite of mine on the Champions Tour, has been charged with failing to pay $1.6M in federal taxes. According to the report…”Thorpe …

At the beginning of the year, a male friend of mine (who wishes to remain nameless, but is as addicted to golf as I am) said that he thought that before the end of 2009, Camilo would pass Phil in the world rankings. Currently Phil is number 4, Camilo 11. But as my friend reminded me, Camilo was at number …

As hard as it is to imagine when you look out your window these days and see all that snow, summer is coming up fast and like many parents, I’m wondering what will the kids do this summer. We don’t have a First Tee Program in Vancouver yet (although there is a proposal on the table), but even if there …

Have you ever met someone who inspires you to be the best that you can be? – Someone who makes you believe in the impossible dream? Well, I just did. His name is Phil Bundy and today he is my hero.

Well, the wait is over! Spring is almost in the air and Big Break PEI is just around the corner. Woohoo! I have been struggling since the fall with what to do with my Tuesday nights. 🙂 I was so used to doing post-episode interviews with the Big Break Ka’anapali, Highway 18 and Big Break Michigan contestants that when Haymes …

When I was vacationing in San Diego in January, I really enjoyed playing Steele Canyon – a 3 x 9 hole course designed by Gary Player. Steele Canyon was rated as a 4 star course by Golf Digest and also received the “Top Women Friendly Course Award” by Golf For Women Magazine (when they were still alive). Ladies, what that …

Last fall I read a story about Highway 18 host Keri Murphy becoming the spokesperson for Sweet Spot Golf’s “Think Pink” line of clubs. I asked her about it in our final interview and she seemed very impressed by them. Keri said they were a great combination of fashion and function – lots of bling bling too :). She also …

Well, I may be late to the Monty-bashing party, but I have to jump in with my 2 placks worth on the Goon from Troon being unanimously selected as the 2010 Ryder Cup Captain. I’ve been ‘lurking’ in all the popular golf forums and blogs looking for what others are saying and it’s no surprise that Monty is not the …

Well, I’m sure you’ve read all about Lana Lawless and her victory at the 2008 Re/Max World Long Driving Championships. But for those who haven’t kept up on this, Lana is a transitioned athlete – Lana was once a man and is now a woman. Okay…so that’s old news. Who really cares?
