Big Break Kaanapali — The Final Three

I confess. I can’t quite get into this show. The premise is good. (12 women golfers compete for prizes that include an exemption to a 2009 LPGA tournament, a vehicle, cash, and other prizes.)

Tiger Woods: the Evolution of a Champion

I came across this video about Tiger Woods while looking for something else on YouTube this morning. I’d seen clips of his golf skills as a child, but never all together like this. This video shows his development from age 2 to 20. It’s amazing that his golf swing at around age 4 […]

Feeling Good, Warming Up

This week the b5media Sports Channel is talking about “feeling good.” To me, that could be anything about playing golf this time of year, when the air is cool and dry (at least in Ohio) and the courses are lush and green. However, warming up before you play golf is a great way to […]
