This afternoon Susan and I sat down for some lunch... so I thought it might be nice to ask her a couple questions about what she thinks about the Big Break so far:
- What does it feel like to watch yourself on TV week in and week out?
Very strange actually! I laugh a lot... but I also learn a lot from watching myself talk and compete. I really can't believe I hit some of the shots I hit. But in all, it's an experience that money could never buy. So few people are lucky enough to have something like this happen in their life. Even though I wish I could hit some shots over, I think I'm a better player because of it.
- If you could pick one shot to have over, out of the what's happened so far in the competition, which one would it be?
Oh definitely the shot I took to get into the $5,000 challenge! My heart kind of sank when they told us that the players still in that challenge could win all that money. I don't think I would've approached the shot any differently... I just wish I could get another shot at it!
- What do you think has been the toughest challenge so far?
I'd say the first one... mainly because of all the cameras. It was so new for me and something that took me a few shots to get used to. There were around fifteen cameras at every angle... and all of a sudden someone says "Play away". I was like..... NOW? Wow!! Very strange and scary experience. I got used to it quick though. I really feel stronger because of it!
- What was your favorite challenge?
Definitely short-game challenge out of the bunker. That was really fun. Like I said on TV, I love bunker shots... even like them more under pressure. For some reason I really like challenging myself out of the bunkers. I think it's because when I learned the game I really wasn't great out of the bunkers and I've really, really worked hard on my bunker game over the last few years. Plus I love the beach! Ha, ha!!
- Can you give the Golf Fitness Magazine readers any tips on what is to come on the Big Break?
Unfortunetely no! You just have to keep watching the show!
