You would think that since Tina Miller has the fanciest website of all the Big Breakers that she may have won the Big Break Ka’anapali. If so, you would be wrong. Tina lost in a short game shoot out in the elimination round on last night’s Big Break Ka’anapali episode 6.
Last night’s episode also featured the dreaded “C” word out of Christina Lecuyer‘s mouth (btw, somebody scooped up christinalecuyer.com and it wasn’t Christina -oops! – hint to Kim, buy www.kimwelch.com now). I thought the Big Break producers would hype it up more but apparently they are saving some for next week’s episode. During the second challenge of the evening, Christina said that she hoped Tina choked on her shot to the green. When Tina missed her first shot, Christina practically shouted, “YES!” I guess fierce competition can bring the worst out of all of us. Or maybe Christina dreads the idea of being in the elimination round and will choke if she gets into one.
Longaberger is offering a number of freebies for golfers in an effort to get people to the course. I’ve listed the freebies and the days below. Longaberger is an 82 mile round trip from my house in Central Ohio. With gas prices continuing to go up, Longaberger may have to consider lowering their greens fees to get golfers out there. I can cut my round trip to 58 miles and just hit Cook’s Creek at considerably less expense as well as less travel time. Cook’s may not be as scenic as Longaberger but is every bit as good a course.

Here are the Big Breakers and their current earnings on the 2008 Duramed Futures Tour. Does it give any hints as to The Big Break Champion?
Kim Welch – $9,374 (Kim also leads the tour in driving average and is third in birdies)
Lori Atsedes – $4,041
Courtney Erdman – $2,092
Elizabeth Stuart – $1,595
Samantha Head – $1,231
Christina Lecuyer – $500
The most recent episode of The Big Break Ka’anapali started off with the ol’ glass breaking challenge. Nine competitors remain and were divided into three teams. Dana, Courtney and Sophie were made captains and picked their teams. Dana chose Kim and Susan. Courtney chose Lori and Tina.
Sophie chose Samantha and Christina. Christina was hacked off about being chosen last – “Don’t they realize that I’m good?”
In this challenge, each team had to break two panes of glass. Each team member took a shot, one at a time in relay race style, at the glass panes until they were broken. Courtney’s team finished first; Sophie’s second (thanks to help from Christina) and Dana’s finished last – failing to break a single pane.
SkyCaddie sg2.5, 3, 4, and 5
The SkyCaddie has to be the way to go to lower your handicap. A friend of mine is getting one and I’m thinking about pulling the trigger myself. I’ll do a bit more research on the SkyCaddie and report soon.

I tried the one round free trial of shotbyshot.com. From what I’ve gathered, it looks like it compares several stats from your game with known statistics of other handicappers. I estimate that I’m about an 11 handicap and I want to get in the 6-9 handicap range.
After entering one round, here’s what I’ve found out.
TaylorMade r7 QUAD – 9.5
Ever since I hit one of these back in March, I’ve been itchin’ to get my own and give it a complete once-over. I picked it up on ebay for $97. Not a bad deal. Hopefully, I’ll have it in my itchy palms by Saturday. After this, I may pick up the SuperQuad just to see what the difference is.
Is there a golf club that you’d like to see reviewed, let me know.
