Although I grew up playing lots of different sports, none have kept my loyalty as long as golf has. Sure, I’ve had my share of moments wondering why I play this infuriating game, but when I think about life without it, I’m reminded why I love it so much even if it doesn’t always love me back.

Team Rice Wins Big Break NFL Puerto Rico!
So…what did you think of the finale of Big Break NFL? I had a little trouble watching the show given how much I like both Brian and Emily.

On Big Break NFL last night, we saw some good shots, some bad shots and some really ugly shots… The Good – Shannon’s 7 point score from 125 yards; too bad she wasn’t “good enough” in the eyes of her team leader to own a double The Bad – Al’s attempts at up and down. It just was NOT his …

Every Big Break brings its share of twists and surprises, but no one is ever surprised to see the Flop Wall – and for good reason – we love to see the players panic over the 8 foot monster.
