Week two of Big Break Atlantis was sure full of suprises, eh? Imagine being one those 3 rejected golfgals, broken hearted because no one picked them for their team, only to have the world’s #1, Yani Tseng come in to save the day! Imagine being on top of the world because you were one of the chosen few who made a team, only to have …

The new 15th club in my golf bag is…
Yoga. Never been a big fan of it. Tried it a few times when I was much younger and discovered that what looks really easy, is actually hard. And I fell over a lot! Give me some free weights, elastics and a treadmill and I’m fine. Putting me in a room with a bunch of tight young bodies sweating for …

It’s been almost a year since my last Big Break Indian Wells interview with champion David Byrne and the always entertaining Shank and Carl. I sadly had to miss BB Ireland due to other commitments, but that only makes this new Big Break Atlantis that much more exciting for me. As usual the stakes are high with the champion receiving an exception …

Every year I get away with some wonderful golfgals who love the game almost as much as I do. This year is no exception and I’m heading to the Okanagan in May with 20+ ladies of the links to play some of the best courses BC has to offer, including Predator Ridge’s new Ridge Course which was named Best new …

With the first two majors behind us now (Kraft Nabisco and The Masters), the golf season has finally arrived in the great white north. Did it take longer this year, or is it just me?

It’s been almost 4 months since I played a round of golf. And although I’d been thinking a lot about getting get out to hit some balls, yesterday was only the 3rd time I’ve been to the range since November. Why? Oh, I could blame the weather, but I think it was something else. I think I was afraid — …

I was doing my taxes earlier this week wishing I were anywhere else when Benjamin Franklin’s fatalistic proverb ran through my mind, “In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes.” As a tax payer, there’s very little I can do to change the rules on when and how I give unto Caesar. But as …

It is said that Albert Einstein defined insanity as “doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results”. I’ve always loved that definition because it reminds me to think outside the box when I see myself repeating the same mistakes. I am by nature a stubborn person, but I don’t consider myself insane.
