Big Break

…and I’ll have interviews posted here by the 17th! In case you hadn’t heard…the next Big Break will be held in the Southern California Desert at Indian Wells. Image from yourgolftravel.com The all male cast will be Big Break “virgins”, so to speak, all new to the series and all vying for the coveted sponsor’s exemption to a 2012 PGA …

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 …

Only a few more days for Big Break Domincan Republic and I can already hear the buzz in golf cyberspace.  Not only does this show bring together the most “memorable” contestants we’ve seen over the past few years, it is a whole different ballgame. Apparently, this is a men against the women competition without elimination every week.  The Big Break Champion …

And rightly so! The old adage, “Drive for show; Putt for Dough!” certainly rang true on those 18 holes.  Lili said it best, “Carling was a putting machine!” Wow! What a perfect ending to probably my favorite Big Break of all time.  Lili is certainly a great player and I feel badly for her that she won’t be able to …

This is the first time ever that I have invited a reader of this blog to contribute their thoughts on a Big Break series outside of normal comments, and I am so glad that I did.   In the last couple of weeks, I have enjoyed the comments from Bluefalcon from New York on my Big Break Sandals posts and believe …

Remember when long drive champion Jamie Sadlowski visited the Big Break set?  And remember what Sara did that day?  She drove her ball over 270 yards!  From that point on, everyone thought Sara’s long game was rock solid. But last night Sara faced a bit of a landslide with her driver.  Everyone who golfs knows what that feels like.  And …

I always hate it when the contestants I’ve come to know and interview finally take the walk on the Big Break. I never know when, or if, it will happen, but when you interview 3 ladies every week, you know for sure at least 2 of them will be in this position at some point. Taryn was given two “Saves” by …

Seema Sadekar, affectionately known as “Vegas” on the Big Break Sandals, will be remembered for many things during her 7 week appearance on the show, including a great shot on the 6th island green in episode 5, a fabulous wardrobe with lots of bling, and a run of good luck that baffled more than a few of us. But unfortunately, …

Well, this week’s Big Break Sandals had some pretty hilarious moments.  Imagine 9 women of that caliber not being able to hit a tee shot into the fairway at 200 yards. I know it’s nerve racking and it’s not “real golf”, but it sure made me LOL to see all of them miss – especially the former Big Break Champions!  …
