Last fall I posted a survey on my business website to try and learn why more millennials aren’t taking up golf and what could be done to entice them to give the sport a try. It was a bit of a slog trying to get kids to respond to the survey even with targeted ads on Facebook for the 17-25 age group …

There’s an old adage that says, “Practice makes Perfect.”  But we all know that’s wrong – Practice makes Permanent.  Which is why I am so thankful that up until now, I never practiced my putting.  Why?  Because I had no idea what I was doing!

The teams are set – the lines are drawn – rivalries are heating up – and the Regnosaurus[1] and Archaic (R & A) are proving once again why golf isn’t keeping up with the social times — all in the name of “tradition”.   Ridiculous! But regardless of the shortsightedness of the Powers that Be over selfies, the Ryder Cup will …

If you had told me at the beginning of this series that Team Rypien would be taken down by Team Brown, I wouldn’t have believed you. Given James’ week-after-week consistency and Will’s “box of chocolates” performance to date, I probably would have laughed and placed a bet right then and there against you. But golf is a fickle game.  One …

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.  This week was no exception. Last season on Big Break Mexico, Stefanie was, in her words, “Bit in the butt” by …

If you missed any of the first 3 episodes of Big Break NFL, then you’ve come to the right place. Guest blogger, Blue Falcon, who provided his play-by-play commentary on past Big Breaks, has just sent me analysis of BB NFL.  Check it out and let us know what you think… This season, the Golf Channel’s “Big Break” has thrown …

Hey everyone, It sure is great to be back interviewing contestants on Golf Channel’s Big Break.  I haven’t missed any of the past 19 seasons on TV, but it killed me that I couldn’t work interviews into my work and travel schedule after BB Atlantis. I’m so excited to be back and especially pumped about the twist this season is …

In a recent trip to the Okanagan to play some golf, my golfguy and I decided to venture away from the highly advertised and expensive resorts you always hear about, and check out a course that we’d never played before – Sunset Ranch Golf and Country Club, just a few minutes from the Kelowna airport. The course and clubhouse came …

I was golfing recently with a couple I’d never met before.  All weekend warriors, we spent the day hacking and whacking our way around the course, trash talking and having fun.  However, at one point the husband hit his ball OB and although he tried to take it in stride, his wife could see that he was upset and gently …
