If you’re a Golf Tips Junkie

Big Break PEI Episode 9: Gerina’s Not just Anybody

At one point during tonight’s show, Gerina was quoted as saying, “It’s anybody’s game.” And she was right. But unfortunately, Gerina wasn’t anybody tonight. Tonight’s episode saw some typical Gerina shots – smoking drives we’ve come to expect from this long bomber. But then we witnessed the unexpected – a 147 yard shot into a greenside bunker that was instrumental …

Big Break PEI Episode 8: Aaron fights to the finish

But the question I have is, “Who was he fighting? – The other players or himself?” Tonight while watching the Big Break PEI, I was really shocked to hear Aaron call himself a “coward” when his chip shot came up short in his playoff against Derek. As an ex-Marine who is both physically and mentally strong, hearing him say that …

Big Break PEI Episode 7: Eugene All Talked Out

So were you as surprised at the ending tonight as I was? I was sure from the sound of Gerina’s voice during her interview that she was eliminated from Big Break PEI.

Big Break PEI: Episode 5: Meeoow…Hssst! Nicole’s Nixed

Big Break PEI: Episode 3: Kim comes up short

Well, tonight’s Big Break PEI episode was a combination of chemistry, tension, and jockularity. Chemistry “allegedly” between Derek and Nicole, self-inflicted nerves by Kim and good old Irish humor from “Ms. Feherty” (AKA Brenda McLarnon). I guess the guys were feeling a bit better after this show, given they lost two of their own the first two weeks, but I …
