<p>Starting today, September 8th, 2010 running through October 14th, 2010, you can submit a video, up to one minute in length, expressing why you should get to play golf with Annika Sorenstam. The video must be uploaded to a social media site like youtube or facebook and send the link with the entry form.</p>
<p>The winner will meet Annika for a photograph and autograph session and then play nine holes of golf with Annika at one of the three courses at <a title="Reunion Resort" href="http://www.orlandogolfblogger.com/2009/09/14/reunion-resort-54-holes-of-golf-scratches-the-surface/" target="_blank">Reunion Resort</a>, Orlando, FL.</p>

<p>There will be two rounds of judging,</p>
<p><strong>Initial Round</strong>. A panel of expert judges from ANNIKA Academy will evaluate videos properly entered in the Contest. Videos will be judged based on the following criteria: (i) creativity and originality; (ii) relevance to theme; (iii) persuasiveness and passion for golf. The entrants whose videos have the ten (10) highest scores will be deemed Finalists and will advance to the Final Round of judging as per Rule 5B below. Finalists will be notified by e-mail on or about October 21, 2010.</p>
<p><strong>Final Round.</strong> Sponsor will post on the Contest Web Site links to the ten (10) Finalists’ videos for purposes of public voting; see also Rule 4E. (In the public vote, persons who register at the Contest Web Site will have the opportunity to rate one or more Finalists’ videos from 1 – 5 stars, with 5 stars being the highest possible rating. There is a limit of<br />
one (1) vote per video per registered person per day.) Public voting is scheduled to take place between October 25, 2010 and October 31, 2010. The Grand Prize winner is the Finalist who has the highest composite final round score<br />
based on average (mean) number of stars in public voting (25%) and Annika Sörenstam’s personal evaluation of the<br />
Finalists’ videos as per the criteria set forth in Rule 5A (75%). The potential Grand Prize winner will be notified by<br />
e-mail, phone and postal mail on or about November 5, 2010.</p>
<p><strong>GRAND PRIZE</strong><br />
The opportunity to play nine (9) holes of golf with Annika Sörenstam at the ANNIKA Academy in Reunion, Florida on a date to be determined. Approximate Retail Value: $5.000.00 (USD).</p>
<p>That&#8217;s a pretty intense retail value, if you do the math, they&#8217;re billing out Annika at $2000 per hour.</p>
<p>A couple things to be aware of prior to submitting your entry..</p>
<ul>
<li><em><strong>Transportation is <span style="text-decoration: underline;">NOT</span> included in the Grand Prize and will be the sole  responsibility of the winner.</strong></em></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><em><strong> All expenses related to acceptance or use  of prize which are not specified in these Official Rules as well as all  applicable taxes on prize are winner’s sole responsibility. If winner is from the U.S., winner will be issued an IRS 1099 Tax Form for the fair market value of the prize.</strong></em></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><em><strong>Golf outing with Annika Sorenstam will not exceed two and one-half (2 ½) hours in duration, regardless of whether nine (9) holes of golf have been completed.</strong></em></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><em><strong> Annika Sorenstam’s participation in the Grand Prize is subject to her professional commitments and availability; in the unlikely event that Ms. Sörenstam is unavailable for any reason, entrants understand and agree that Sponsor will fully satisfy its obligation to winner by selecting an instructor from the ANNIKA Academy of its sole choosing to play golf with winner in Ms. Sorenstam’s place. </strong></em></li>
</ul>
<p>That would COMPLETELY suck if you went through the effort to create and promote a video and were selected as the grand prize winner only to have Annika Sorenstam bail to attend some prior commitment, especially since you&#8217;d STILL be stuck with the tax liability.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s pretty lame that they&#8217;re not footing the bill for transportation, I think it&#8217;s going to negatively impact the number of entrees into the contest.</p>
<p>Your thoughts?</p>

<p>This month, for the inaugural panel, John asked me to participate. I was joined by three other industry professionals;</p>
<p><strong>Brendon Elliott</strong> &#8211; Class &#8220;A&#8221; PGA Professional, golf instructor and owner of <a title="Little Linksters" href="http://www.orlandogolfblogger.com/?s=little+linksters" target="_blank">Little Linksters</a>. Brendon is a good friend of mine and it was a pleasure joining him on this panel.</p>
<p><strong>Dave Andrews -</strong> former television news reporter, avid fan of the Duramed Futures Tour author of a book called Pops and Sunshine and founder of Future Stars Foundation. I had the opportunity to meet Dave earlier this year at his annual <a title="Future Stars Foundation Pro-am" href="http://www.orlandogolfblogger.com/2010/01/19/2nd-annual-future-stars-foundation-pro-am-2/" target="_blank">Future Stars Foundation Pro-am</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Robb Pritts</strong> &#8211; member of the Golf Writers Association of America, The National Golf Foundation, is a frequent radio show guest and author of the blog Rocket’s Ramble. Rob is also President of Back 9 Promotions. I met Robb at the <a title="2010 PGA Merchandise Show" href="http://www.orlandogolfblogger.com/category/2010-pga-merchandise-show/" target="_blank">2010 PGA Merchandise Show</a>, but I&#8217;ve yet to test his mettle on the golf course! <img src='http://www.orlandogolfblogger.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>The questions for this months discussion panel are below..</p>
<ul>
<li><em></em><em>The rules of golf  have been a media focus recently with Dustin Johnson, Jim Furyk and Juli  Inkster being involved with high-profile rules infractions. Do you  think the governing bodies are too harsh with some of the penalties?  What rule(s) do you think should be changed?</em></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><em></em><em>What do you think is the biggest story in the world of golf this year? Why?</em></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><em></em><em>Getting back to the  rules of golf – In the last 20 years we have seen huge leaps in  equipment technology, with balls going further and straighter, clubs  hitting it higher and farther with more spin,  etc. Despite these advances the average golfer still shoots around 100,  just like they did a century ago. Why do you think this is?</em></li>
</ul>
<p>You can see my answers as well as the answers given by the other members of the panel over at <a title="September 2010 Discussion Panel" href="http://www.intothegrain.com/monthly-panel-discussion-september-2010/" target="_blank">intothegrain.com</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Feel free to comment on one or all of the questions posed, I&#8217;d love to hear your take.</strong></p>

The Red plays alongside streams and ponds set among a forest of pines, cypress and  eucalyptus trees. From the back tees, the course measures 6,852 yards, with a course rating of 72.4 and a slop of 126. The final 3 holes will allegedly &#8220;make you feel like a hero or make you call your pro for a lesson the next day.&#8221;</p>

<p><span style="color: #000000;">Sponsors are still being sought for the Arizona Women&#8217;s Open, but the purse promises to be a good one. </span></p>
<p>The event will also be open to amateur players looking to test their mettle against top professionals.</p>
<p>The event is being organized by the Cactus Tour, which has several years of experience conducting mini <a title="Phoenix Golf" href="http://www.arizonagolf.com/courses/phoenix/" target="_blank">Phoenix Golf</a> tour events in the area. The events have been conducted for women on the LPGA, the Duramed Futures Tour, the Ladies European Tour and other pros gearing up for their upcoming seasons.</p>
<p>The event will be limited to 102 players. Several women pros that have appeared on the current and former “<a title="Big Break Sandals Resort" href="http://www.orlandogolfblogger.com/category/big-break-sandals-resort/" target="_blank">Big Break</a>” series on Golf Channel will be competing in the tournament.</p>
<p>This event is a great opportunity for professional golfers of all skill levels to earn some money during a time when there&#8217;s been noticeably fewer events. Part of the proceeds from the <a title="arizona womens open" href="http://arizonawomensopen.net/" target="_blank">Arizona Women’s Open</a> will go to help support the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.</p>

<p>Online Interactive Launch Presentation scheduled for September 9, 2010 at 12:00 pm PDT</p>
<p><a title="TaylorMade Golf " href="http://www.orlandogolfblogger.com/?s=TaylorMade" target="_blank">TaylorMade Golf</a> Company, the industry leader in product innovation, and company President &amp; CEO Mark King will introduce a new product via worldwide webcast on Thursday, September 9 at 12 p.m. Pacific time.</p>
<p>This introduction format promises to deliver a unique and memorable experience for consumers; it enables their participation in a universal curtain-pull on a remarkable new TaylorMade product like never before.</p>
<p>The passion and inspiration associated with an initial product launch has long been held in reserve for the company’s sales force. This fall, a global online audience will share in the anticipation and excitement.</p>
<p>“We think what we show will instantly become the most sought-after product in the marketplace,” said Bob Maggiore, TaylorMade&#8217;s Vice President of Brand and Marketing.</p>
<p>Watching the webcast is easy, simply log onto <a title="TaylorMadeGolf.com" rel="nofollow" href="www.taylormadegolf.com" target="_blank">www.taylormadegolf.com</a> on September 9 and load the interactive video presentation, which is scheduled to last approximately 10 minutes.</p>
<p>Following the launch, the video footage will remain available on TaylorMade Golf’s global website for additional viewing.</p>
<h4><strong>What do you think it&#8217;ll be? I&#8217;m betting it&#8217;ll be a new TaylorMade driver.</strong></h4>

<p>If you&#8217;re available between Wednesday, November 10th &#8211; Friday, November 12th, give them a call at (407) 938-3881 and be sure to let them know OGB sent ya! <img src='http://www.orlandogolfblogger.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  Prior experience is not required, nor is knowledge of the <a href="http://www.jdoqocy.com/click-3068749-10797727?sid=childrens+miracle+network+classic&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.golfnow.com%2Forlando%2Ftee-times%2Fgolf-courses%2Ffl---orlando-disney%2Fdisneys-palm-golf-course%2Fsearch" target="_blank">Disney&#8217;s Palm</a><img src="http://www.awltovhc.com/image-3068749-10797727" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" /> or <a href="http://www.jdoqocy.com/click-3068749-10797727?sid=childrens+miracle+network+classic&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.golfnow.com%2Forlando%2Ftee-times%2Fgolf-courses%2Ffl---orlando-disney%2Fdisneys-magnolia-golf-course%2Fsearch" target="_blank">Disney&#8217;s Magnolia Golf Course</a><img src="http://www.ftjcfx.com/image-3068749-10797727" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" />.</p>
<p>You&#8217;ll be caddying in a group consisting of two PGA tour  professionals and two amateurs. Caddies are selected from a pool and are  on a first come first serve basis with experience and golf background  taken into consideration.</p>
<p>This is a great opportunity to get free access to the 2010 Children&#8217;s  Miracle Network Classic, to meet some PGA Tour professionals and to get  a first hand experience on what it&#8217;s like to be livin&#8217; the dream.</p>
<p>See below for full details..</p>
<p><a href="http://www.orlandogolfblogger.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/caddies.png"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4884" title="Children's Miracle Network Classic" src="http://www.orlandogolfblogger.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/caddies.png" alt="" width="550" height="712" /></a></p>
<p>Children&#8217;s Miracle Network saves the lives of children by raising funds and awareness for children&#8217;s hospitals like Winnie Palmer (where the OGB Jr. #2 and #3 were born) and foundations throughout North America.</p>
<p>Children’s Miracle Network is a non-profit organization that raises funds for more than 170 children’s hospitals. Countless individuals, organizations and media partners unite with Children’s Miracle Network hospitals to help sick and injured kids in local communities. Donations to Children’s Miracle Network create miracles by funding medical care, research and education that saves and improves the lives of 17 million children each year.</p>
<p>To ensure children’s hospitals have the resources they need, Children’s Miracle Network’s partners conduct thousands of special events and grassroots fundraisers year-round. Corporate partners sell Miracle Balloons, radio and television stations broadcast stories of medical miracles, and college students hold Dance Marathons—just a few of the programs generating millions of dollars each year to provide the life-saving care and crucial services kids need.</p>
<p>Through its continuous efforts to help kids, Children’s Miracle Network has raised more than $3.4 billion to date, most of which is donated a dollar or two at a time by caring individuals.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m going to try and make the event, not sure if I&#8217;ll be able to swing it though, having the new baby and all..</p>
<p><strong>Let me know if you&#8217;re already signed up, planning to sign up or if you&#8217;ve done this in years past. I&#8217;m curious what the experience is like.</strong></p>

He also writes <a title="Hooked On Golf Blog" href="http://www.hookedongolfblog.com/" target="_blank">hookedongolfblog</a> and is one helluva guy. <img src='http://www.orlandogolfblogger.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><a title="Sumi-G Head Covers" href="http://www.sumi-g.com/" target="_blank">Sumi-G</a> is a golf accessory company, who&#8217;s flagship products are the hybrid, fairway and driver head covers. They&#8217;ve put a big emphasis on durability and ease of use.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft" style="margin: 2px 10px;" src="http://www.orlandogolfblogger.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/IMG_2997.jpg" alt="" width="313" height="234" /><strong>Features:</strong></p>
<p>• Unique mechanical closure<br />
• Convenient one-handed operation<br />
• Rigid exoskeleton protects both club and shaft<br />
• Easy to pick up from ground with club<br />
• Fits right-handed clubs only<br />
• Fits 460cc drivers (not all square clubs)<br />
• Patented</p>
<p>They&#8217;re available in black and white and now offer customers the ability to customize the head covers with embroidered logos. It broke my heart when I found out that these puppies are right-handed only, because, how awesome would it be to have the <a title="OGB Logo" href="http://www.orlandogolfblogger.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/OGB.png" target="_blank">OGB logo</a> stitched on a white driver head cover?</p>
<p>The MSRP on the head covers is $38.00</p>
<p>In addition to club head covers, Sumi-G also offers a variety of golf accessories, such as bags, hats, scorecard wallets, towel brushes, divot tools, money clips and new this year, belts.</p>
<p><strong>Sumi-G Dormie Belt</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.orlandogolfblogger.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/sumigbelt1.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-4877" style="margin: 2px 5px;" title="sumigbelt1" src="http://www.orlandogolfblogger.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/sumigbelt1.jpg" alt="" width="260" height="195" /></a>In an effort to get the word out about the belts, they sent me one to try out and review, as well as the towel brush, divot tool and money clip.</p>
<p>I was sent the Dormie &#8211; Black belt, and no, they do not give you supernatural Kung-Fu skills, regrettably&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>Cool features of the belt</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>It&#8217;s ambidextrous, meaning, it can be used by both right-handed golfers and left-handed golfers (hah.. sorry, couldn&#8217;t resist).</li>
<li>The belt is a two tone , black on the outside, red on the inside, not presently reversible.</li>
<li>It&#8217;s a high quality belt, made out of good thick leather.</li>
<li>On the buckle, there&#8217;s a removable ball marker that&#8217;s attached to the buckle by a magnet. This frees up having to fumble for it on your glove or digging through your pocket of tees, change and golf balls to find one. This ball marker is interchangeable with the ball marker on the Sumi-G divot tool.</li>
<li>The belt comes with two additional ball markers.</li>
</ul>
<p><a href="http://www.orlandogolfblogger.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/sumigbelt2.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-4879" style="margin: 2px 5px;" title="Sumi-G Dormie Belt Buckle" src="http://www.orlandogolfblogger.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/sumigbelt2.jpg" alt="" width="260" height="194" /></a>The belt is awesome and eye catching, I noticed more than one pair of eyes glancing down to check out the buckle, at least, I think that&#8217;s what they were checking out.. <img src='http://www.orlandogolfblogger.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>There&#8217;s a few things I noticed, that one should be aware of. The thickness of the belt caused me problems when I wore it with slacks. It was too wide and I had to muscle the belt tip through the loop on the second pass.</p>
<p>The mirror finish on the buckle is beautiful, but it shows fingerprints and smudges. Lastly, and this is something they&#8217;re working on, the buckles/belts aren&#8217;t interchangeable, which will be a great feature.</p>
<p>The MSRP for the Dormy is $85.</p>
<p><strong>Sumi-G Divot Tool</strong><a href="http://www.orlandogolfblogger.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/sumigdivot.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-4860" title="Sumi-G Divot Tool" src="http://www.orlandogolfblogger.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/sumigdivot.jpg" alt="" width="290" height="218" /></a></p>
<p>The Sumi-G divot tool will leave your ball marks quaking in their depressions. It&#8217;s not one of those flimsy plastic numbers, it&#8217;s made from sculpted forged stainless steel.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s innovative design has prongs that are curved and angled to make repairing divots simple and less harsh on your favorite putting surfaces.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s large enough to handle your best(or worst, however you want to view it) divots, but also small enough so it doesn&#8217;t leave puncture wounds in your thigh when carrying it in your pocket.</p>
<p>The divot tool is durable enough to last a lifetime, assuming of course, that it doesn&#8217;t get lost in that black hole you call a golf bag.</p>
<p>The MSRP of the divot tool is $24.99.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.orlandogolfblogger.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/clubbrush1.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-4862" style="margin: 2px 5px;" title="Sumi-G Towel Brush" src="http://www.orlandogolfblogger.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/clubbrush1.jpg" alt="" width="260" height="194" /></a><strong>Sumi-G Towel Brush</strong></p>
<p>The Sumi-G towel brush, is, as the name might imply, a brush that&#8217;s used to clean grass, dirt, sand, pieces of skull, etc.. out of the grooves in your golf clubs.</p>
<p>This brush uses a V-cleat nautical fastening design to fasten it to the towel on your golf bag. Being the incredibly intelligent blogger than I am, I&#8217;m using this in conjunction with the <a title="Spotless Swing Golf Towel" href="http://www.orlandogolfblogger.com/2010/02/04/2010-pga-merchandise-show-spotless-swing-golf-towel/" target="_blank">Spotless Swing Golf Towel</a>, so I can get the majority of the gunk off my club face with the brush and use the inside of the towel for the finer turf that&#8217;s missed.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s made out of forged stainless steel. Being the good product reviewer that I am, I had to test just how strong the V-cleat was. My golf bag was strapped onto the golf cart and my golf towel was attached to the bag by one of those latched metal rings. I pulled so hard that it broke the metal ring and sent me tumbling onto my backside. It&#8217;s a good thing my playing partners were in the clubhouse at the time..</p>
<p>The bristles are hard plastic so you don&#8217;t have to worry about your towel getting tangled and shredded by coming in contact with the Sumi-G towel brush.</p>
<p>The MSRP of the towel brush is $26.00.</p>

<p>Shotgun start was at 7:30am. Furyk arrived at the course at 7:35am and tour officials had no choice but to disqualify him in the first of four FedEx Cup playoff events.</p>
<p>He set the alarm on his phone before going to bed the night before and the battery died whilst he slept. He woke up at 7:23am, threw on some clothes and bolted out the door, arriving at the event with no belt or socks with his shoes untied. I wonder if he had time for that mandatory early morning emptying of the bladder, if not, in addition to showing up disheveled, we can probably add doing the pee-pee dance.</p>
<p>The PGA Tour adopted its disqualification policy on pro-ams in 2004 after some players  began skipping the Wednesday events for without giving suitiable reasons. Now, players are automatically disqualified from the tournament if they miss the  pro-am, with the exception of injury or family emergency.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m kicking myself, I have a way of climbing into situations that are all my fault.&#8221;</p>
<p>Although he said he was upset about not playing Ridgewood or the  tournament, Furyk said the worst part of the disqualification was &#8220;to  possibly, severely hurt a good year.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I played my heart out all year, I&#8217;ve got no one to blame but myself.&#8221;</p>
<p>All things considered though, it&#8217;s a pretty impressive feat that he managed to get there in 12 minutes..</p>
<p>This is the ONLY reason I couldn&#8217;t play professional golf, I have a propensity to oversleep, I think it&#8217;s genetic.. Ok, ok, so perhaps I embellished, it&#8217;s not the ONLY reason.. there&#8217;s this whole lack of skill that also gets in the way..</p>
<p><strong>What do you think? Considering that Jim Furyk was only a couple minutes late and the fact that it is a Pro-Am and not an actual day of Barclay tournament play, should they have let this slide?</strong></p>

<p>This is it! The final episode of Big Break Sandals Resort! The duel to the death (well, not really) between Carling &#8220;Crusher&#8221; Coffing and Lili &#8220;Annihilator&#8221; Alvarez!!!</p>
<p>If you’ve missed any of the previous episodes, check out the <a title="Big Break Sandals Resort episode recap" href="http://www.orlandogolfblogger.com/category/big-break-sandals-resort/" target="_blank">Big Break Sandals Resort episodes recap</a>.</p>
<p>The episode starts out with the two remaining contestants taking in a beautiful sunrise before eating an uncomfortable breakfast. Paul, the butler/wise-man in disguise, comes in, this week not offering an envelope, but some inspirational words, &#8220;Let the competition be fierce, let it be competitive and do it from the heart.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>The final challenge</strong></p>
<p>The final challenge of Big Break Sandals Resort is (as many of you suspected) 18 holes of match play. Since a full match would take well over four hours of video to record every shot, they speed things up and give us clips from each hole, which.. makes it a bit difficult to recap.. <img src='http://www.orlandogolfblogger.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><strong>1st hole</strong> &#8211; all square<br />
<strong>2nd hole</strong> &#8211; Lili 1up<br />
<strong>3rd hole</strong> &#8211; Lili 1up<br />
<strong>4th hole</strong> &#8211; all square<br />
<strong>5th hole</strong> &#8211; all square<br />
<strong>6th hole</strong> &#8211; all square<strong><br />
7th hole</strong> &#8211; Carling 1up<br />
<strong>8th hole</strong> &#8211; Carling 1up<br />
<strong>9th hole</strong> &#8211; all square</p>
<p>Up to this point, we&#8217;ve not seen particularly good &#8220;championship&#8221; play from either Carling or Lili and Carling said it best &#8220;it was embarrassing, it&#8217;s like all of the sudden we&#8217;re playing like 25 handicaps..&#8221; Which, I take offense to! <img src='http://www.orlandogolfblogger.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  I suspect, however, it&#8217;s due mostly to a little creative control on the part of the producers, instead of lack of skill from the final two of Big Break Sandals Resort.</p>
<p><strong>10th hole</strong> &#8211; all square<br />
<strong>11th hole</strong> &#8211; with two decent tee shots, Lili two putts and Carling flubs her pitch shot and leaves herself a long par putt, which she misses, resulting in <strong>Lili 1up.</strong></p>
<p><strong>12th hole</strong> &#8211; Lili had momentum going and Carling was reeling a bit, but a waterball from Lili helped calm her nerves. Lili recovered nicely however landing her 3rd shot within 10 feet. Carling has a long 50 foot birdie putt which she missed, leaving herself a relatively easy par putt. Lili missed her par putt, scoring a bogey. Carling, who&#8217;s <a title="TaylorMade Rossa Corza Ghost Putter" href="http://www.orlandogolfblogger.com/2010/06/08/taylormade-rossa-corza-ghost-putter-first-glance/" target="_blank">putter</a> has been on fire the entire round, shockingly missed her par putt, keeping <strong>Lili 1up</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>13th hole</strong> &#8211; Two nice tee shots from each player, sets them both up for birdie putts, which Lili misses and Carling sinks, making it <strong>all square</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>14th hole</strong> &#8211; Two drives in the fairway, two nice approach shots, both with birdie opportunities. Lili misses her birdie putt and Carling makes hers, setting <strong>Carling 1up.</strong></p>
<p><strong>15th hole &#8211; </strong>Carling hits a nice tee shot that ends up in the fairway and Lili, having a slight meltdown lands her drive in the hazard, which is a bunch of treacherous rocks that are near some treacherous water.. She takes the drop and recovers nicely, ending up on the green with a par putt. Carling ends up on the green with a birdie putt. Lili missed her par putt and Carling missed her birdie putt, leaving <strong>Carling 1up.</strong></p>
<p><strong>16th hole &#8211; </strong>Carling blocks her tee shot a bit landing in the right side rough and Lili knocks a <a title="sphincter-clencher" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=sphincter%20clencher&amp;defid=2960074" target="_blank">sphincter-clencher</a> that barely clears the rocks and ends up in the middle of the fairway. A ballzy shot to make on the final episode if Big Break Sandals Resorts, but I guess the ability to pull those off is what makes them do this for a living! <img src='http://www.orlandogolfblogger.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  Carling&#8217;s next shot landed near the bunker and Lili&#8217;s was on the green. She misses her birdie putt, making par, putting some pressure on Carling, who misses her par putt for a bogey, making the match <strong>all square</strong> with two left to play.</p>
<p><strong>17th hole</strong> &#8211; Two nice drives with Lili away, she hits a beautiful approach shot landing it nice and snug. Carling&#8217;s approach shot wasn&#8217;t nearly as pretty giving herself a tough 25 foot birdie putt. Putting a roll on it like only Carling can, she sinks the putt. Lili missed her birdie putt by inches.. leaving <strong>Carling 1up</strong> going into the 18th hole.</p>
<p><strong>18th hole -</strong> Both tee shots landed in the fairway, and Carling&#8217;s second shot also landed in the sweet grass. Lili&#8217;s second shot, in a horrible stroke of luck, stops nestled up against a mini palm tree. She takes an <a title="Rule 28 - Unplayable Lie" href="http://www.usga.org/Rule-Books/Rules-of-Golf/Rule-28/" target="_blank">unplayable lie</a> drop. Carling 3rds shot lands on the fringe. Lili hits her 4th shot from 135 yards out and knocks it to twelve feet. Carling&#8217;s 4th shot is a 35 yard putt from the fringe that stops an inch from the hole, thus knocking Lili Alvarez out.</p>
<h3><strong>Carling Coffing is the Champion of <a title="Big Break Sandals Resort episode recap" href="http://www.orlandogolfblogger.com/category/big-break-sandals-resort/" target="_blank">Big Break Sandals Resort</a>! </strong></h3>
<p>Man what an awesome episode! Mine was <a title="A House Divided" rel="nofollow" href="http://showcase.netins.net/web/creative/lincoln/speeches/house.htm" target="_blank">a house divided</a>, I was rooting for Carling and my wife was rooting for Lili, which is completely understandable, Lili is an awesome competitor and an incredible good sport. I was impressed with the way Lili stoically took the loss, congratulating Carling and saying she deserved it.</p>
<p>I wish they had filmed the ending differently. The immediate cut from the winning putt to a bunch of cut footage of earlier episodes and players, than a rushed handing over of the trophy with no final words from the winner, was, in my opinion poorly planned and executed.</p>
<p>Ah well.. it was a great season! Over at intothegrain.com, John posted up an<a title="Interview with Carling Coffing" href="http://www.intothegrain.com/interview-with-carling-coffing-big-break-sandals-resorts-champion/" target="_blank"> interview with Carling Coffing discussing her experiences on the show</a>. I&#8217;m sad that it&#8217;s over, but we don&#8217;t have to wait too long for the next season.</p>

<p>So, it&#8217;s no surprise that I never get invited to play in the cool events, yeah sure, I get my fair share of corporate scrambles and charity golf tournaments, but nothing as cool as the stroke play, head to head match-ups and the like.</p>
<p>When I heard about this golf outing, I immediately called the wife and begged for her approval and then called OCN and booked it.</p>
<p><a title="Orange County National Golf Center" href="http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Winter-Garden-FL/Orange-County-National-Golf-Center-and-Lodge/114544559484?__a=10&amp;ajaxpipe=1" target="_blank">Orange County National Golf Center</a> is hosting 16 English soldiers back from Afghanistan for a golf outing and they&#8217;ve requested a Ryder Cup Style match against some local Orlando golfers.</p>
<p>These brave men spend most of their time soldiering and don&#8217;t have too much time for golf, so their average group handicap is a 20. Meaning, for once, this is an event I can compete it and actually be some fair footing.  <img src='http://www.orlandogolfblogger.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>If you haven&#8217;t had the opportunity to check out Orange County National, you definitely need to, they&#8217;ve hosted multiple PGA Q-schools and the courses are top notch.</p>
<p>The event is taking place on September 10th, 2010 on the Panther Lake Course starting at 11:36am and they&#8217;re offering a discounted rate of $33.00 per golfer and the first round is on them!</p>
<p>So far, I think they&#8217;ve got around eight or so signed up and they&#8217;re looking for at least that many more. We&#8217;ve got room for one more in our foursome, so if you wanna play with one hack and two scratch, one of whom will probably be playing left handed, let me know. This promises to be a very cool event, and it&#8217;s not very often when an opportunity like this is afforded to us hack golfers. Well, atleast, not until I get the HNPGA Tour up and running. That&#8217;s Hacking-Non-Professional Golfer Association, rumor has it, OGB and Golf Channel are close to solidifying a three year sponsorship.. <img src='http://www.orlandogolfblogger.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  <img src='http://www.orlandogolfblogger.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>If you&#8217;d like to sign up, give them a call at (407) 905-2279 and don&#8217;t forget to tell then OGB sent ya! <img src='http://www.orlandogolfblogger.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Also, if you are playing, shoot me an <a href="mailto:orlandogolfblogger@gmail.com?Subject=OCN Ryder Cup Golf Event">email</a>, I&#8217;d love to meet up with you!</p>
