If you’re a Golf Channel junkie like me you know that big-hitting Kim just won the whole enchilada. Yeah, yeah...old news by now.
I have NEW NEWS! New Big Breaking News about the Big Break! ( O.k. redundant, but go with me. I'm a little excited here.)
I have always thought Boyne Highlands would be a perfect venue for the show.
Breathtaking scenery? Check.
Top-shelf courses? Check.
Perfect climate? Check. In summer anyway.
Gracious amenities? Check...oh, and throw in more than 16 hours of usable daylight.
I’ll put the golf experience here up against ANYPLACE.
As it turns out, the producers of the Big Break agree and they will be filming The Big Break X here.
“GET OUT!”
No. It’s true.
“Shut up!”
Why does everybody keep telling me that?
Because of the suspenseful nature of the program, people are staying very tight-lipped about things. Reality t.v. producers look at bloggers like fisherman look at Cormorants. But I’m a blogger, not a blabbermouth. I'll do my best to give you a little peek inside without spoiling Christmas.
I am your humble servant and in case my wife is reading, this has nothing to do with wanting to meet Stephanie Sparks in person.
Here’s your first Big Break tidbit:
The format will be male/female couples competing as teams. Could be a husband/wife, father/daughter, ex/ex, any combo of qualifying male/female teams. Things could get ugly. Sometimes it takes my wife and I days to smooth things over after a poorly-played Euchre hand.
These teams will be playing to win an exemption to a PGA and LPGA event respectively...can you say TENSION?
Once again we get to see how the serious sticks can do on courses we know well. You’ve probably got about 6 months to figure out how to program your Tivo. Get on it. I'll keep you posted.
