Always sad to see someone leave the Big Break, but for a Canadian, it was particularly tough for me to watch Stacey take the walk. I was just getting to know her with our first interview last week and then suddenly, she’s gone. I hate it when that happens! But I don’t think she’ll be forgotten. Stacey’s “beach shot” in …

Big Break Sandals 3: Maiya can’t fend off shark attack
I think Carling spoke for all of us golfgals tonight when she said, “I have a crush on Greg Norman.” Oh ladies, don’t we all? From the day I saw him in that sexy “down under” straw hat in the 80’s, I was hooked line and sinker by The Shark. And I didn’t take up golf until 20 years later! …

Well, in only 2 days, Kelly certainly had her share of ups and downs on the Big Break Sandals. One day she’s holding the Send/Save card and the next she’s taking the walk of shame. They say that the Big Break isn’t “real golf”, but when you see those kinds of highs and lows, you start to think it’s very …

Did you call this one? I sure didn’t. Seeing Maiya look like she’d burst into tears any minute in her post-day interview compared to confidence of Elena radiating from the TV, if I was a betting person, I would have been taking to the cleaners. But it wasn’t Maiya who’s clock was cleaned last night. Poor Elena – she looked …

Well, it’s the Tuesday before Christmas and although Big Break season is now over, I had to do one more Big Break interview before closing out the year. And who better than the latest Big Breaker to make it through grueling Q school to hit the big leagues – Big Break PEI’s Gerina Mendoza. Gerina was a regular guest on …

So did you pick the winner of Big Break Disney? Wow! I don’t think Golf Channel could have written a better back 9 script if they tried. I’m still a little speechless. I started writing this post around the 13th hole thinking Tony was a shoe-in given his play to that point, but no sooner did I have him in …

It was a sad night for the Finau family on Big Break Disney, but a scenario that had to be played out eventually – either this week or next, one of the Finau brothers had to go home. Tonight Gipper was the one who “missed the fairway”. And although I was sad to watch Gipper go home, I was left …

Well, a number of people will be pretty disappointed this week watching Andrew Giuliani exit stage left on the Big Break Disney. And, you may be surprised to learn that I am one of those people. I know, I know… some of you think I don’t like him, but that’s not true. I can’t dislike someone I don’t know. All …

This week, we watched one of the most passionate, emotional, entertaining, vocal (and dare I say, controversial) contestants The Big Break has ever seen ‘calmly’ exit the series. Okay, maybe not all that calmly – maybe the Happy Gilmore swack at the ball on the green was a tiny bit over the top, but that was pretty tame for Blake, …
