I received a response from Tina Miller several months after posting some questions to her website. I went back to her site today (tinamillergolf.com) and it appears to be down (don’t know if this is temporary or permanent). But here are her responses – Enjoy!
Andy,
Hi Tina, Just wanted to know if you’ve been following the Big Break PEI? If so, what are your impressions? Do you get a sense of nostalgia? Who’s going to win Derek or Blair and why will he/she? How has your appearance on The Big Break given you a break in golf and/or life? Are you willing to put your title of Hottest Big Breaker on the line against the latest group of women to grace The Big Break? Does The Golf Channel cast Big Breakers on their personalities and looks as well as their golf games? It seems like they are looking for certain personality types to create drama. Or does drama just unfold whenever you put a bunch of people together in front of a camera? Also I see you Twitter and have been following your tweets. Oh one more, who do you keep in touch with from The Big Break? Sorry about the long-winded-ness, Andy
Thank you for your amazing questions and sorry I got back to them so late!
Always watching Big Break brings back amazing memories. I must admit I did not watch too much of Big Break PEI after my friend Kim Kouwabunpat was knocked off. I prefer the all-male or all-female casts. I am really into Big Break Disney and happy to see my friend Courtney Erdman’s husband, Kevin, still in the game!
I am honored you thought of me as hottest Big Breaker, (Editor’s note – Tina was voted hottest big breaker on a poll on this site – I personally had her near the top but had to give my top votes to Kim Welch and the original Columbian vixen, Valeria Ochoa) however many of the girls before me and after me are amazing beautiful athletes and I think that each of us brings a unique look, game and personality to the table. I hope I am beautiful in my fans eyes for my personality because I think I do have a great one!!!
Golf Channel casts personalities based on exactly that, personalities. Some create drama while in the heat of the moment, others are drama seeking 24/7, it is just a matter of luck really if they get 12 cast members who all have typeA personalities. One things that is for sure they really do try and give people who need a Big Break an opportunity. Some people have great resumes while others do not…its just chance really.
I am on twitter! I do enjoy tweeting because it is such an easy way to let people into my life. I keep in touch with many former Big Breakers including: Kristina Tucker (BBV), Ashely Prange (BBV), Courtney Erdman (Ka’anapali),and Kim Kouwabunpat (PEI), Ashley Gomes (BB6 & 7). I played a few charity events this summer and ran into some former Big Breakers like Christina Lecuyer and Susan Choi, from Ka’anapali. Many of the girls have their own websites, facebook pages and myspace pages. I do not have a facebook page but I love to Twitter!
Thanks for your questions and SO sorry in the delay in response. I did not think to even check the Q&A portion of my site because I was not competing and did not realize all the people who still want to hear from me!!!
