Kim Welch – Ohio Golf Blog – Golf Course Reviews

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!

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:
