Kim Welch Cashes in on Futures Tour

Congratulations to Kim Welch as she just won The Alliance Bank Golf Classic (Syracuse, NY) with rounds of 70-64-70. I guess the pressure from hiding her Big Break secret was gone and she cleaned up in Syracuse. Nice job, Kim!

If Greg Norman can’t win the British Open on my birthday then I’ll gladly take a victory by Kim.

First prize cashola was a cool twelve grand (oops, check that, I was six hundies short). Hope she hired an accountant. I’m dying to know if she kept or sold the Beemer.

If you were looking for another hint as to who won the Big Break Ka’anapali, it was right there in front of all of us. I should’ve just looked to see who was playing the most Futures Tour events. Entry fees were covered by The Golf Channel to the Big Break Champ. Duhh!

How are the other Big Breakers doing on the Futures Tour – check ’em out –

Courtney Erdman

Greg Norman currently leads British Open

Greg Norman leads the British Open after firing another even par 70 in day two at Royal Birkdale Golf Club, Merseyside, England. It would be GREAT to see the SHARK win at age 53 which would probably be a bigger story than Nicklaus winning the Masters at 46. The Open has to be Norman’s favorite major. I think he’s only going to get better over the weekend.

Kim Welch wins Big Break Kaanapali

Kim Welch wins The Big Break Ka’anapali over Sophie Sandolo, 4 and 3. It seemed a bit anti-climactic after all that’s gone on, but congratulations to Kim. Me – ow! I had a hunch that she was going to win it all. Kim did the least to promote herself on the internet of almost all the competitors.

After reflecting upon the latest season of The Big Break, it seems that the drama has become much more important than the golf. After all, we are watching (for the most part) of bunch of players that we have never heard of and probably would never follow anyways (how many Futures Tour events are televised). For that matter, The Big Break really isn’t about golf. We had to wait until the last show to get a full fifteen holes of golf and, frankly, it was boring. I was genuinely surprised to see The Golf Channel get in fifteen holes of golf in an hour with all the commercials that they cram into The Big Break. The Golf Channel cheated to get in 15 holes of golf as they often blew through a summary of a hole or so that we weren’t able to see.

Looking back at the season I found the following surprising:

Tina Miller, hottest Big Breaker ever, responds to Ohiogolfblog.com’s query

I wrote an email to Tina asking her to comment on what makes her such a hottie. Lo and behold, Tina responded. It appears she may have helped her cause a bit but that’s cool. Too bad Tina didn’t stick around to the very end of the Big Break but she appears to be doing just fine for herself. Check out her sweet website and myspace pages. Not only is she the hottest but she’s gotta be the most web-savvy Big Breaker as well. I’m listening to her comments on a Big Break Episode now.

Good Luck, Tina!

Haha! Hey Andy 🙂 Thanks for the comments 🙂

I got a google alert and saw that my name was up as one of the hottest Big Breakers. I posted this on my myspace page and all my fans, I guess, voted!

I am a fun loving girl who happens to play golf and looks kinda cute, maybe people have seen my modeling shots and thought that I was hot? Haha. Many of the girls on the show are gorgeous, I am just happy you actually put my name on the poll. Thanks so much for that!

Take care and keep in touch!

Lori condescending in final exit interview

I went over to The Golf Channel’s Big Break page and just watched Lori Atsedes’ exit interview. Stina Sternberg asked her if she had one piece of advice to give Christina. Lori responded:

That golf isn’t personal. It’s a business. And when I’m on the golf course, I’m in my office. When I’m in my office, I’m very particular about where things should go and how they should go there. And when you’re off the golf course, we’re back to let’s have a glass of wine and have dinner and be friends and there’s a fine balance there. And the younger players have a hard time not taking things personally when it comes to business.
