Reality Spotlight: The Big Break

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Prime Time, Reality, Sports, Cable, Gossip

If you know the Golf Channel only as the one you skip on your way up to Fox Sports, you’re missing a whole lot more than coverage of the PGA. You’re missing at least one great reality show that blends sports, drama and elimination action - all on the backdrop of some of the most beautiful locales in America.

You don’t have to like, or even understand, golf to enjoy The Big Break action. It’s the classic reality formula with a twist - strategy is often replaced by sportsmanship (or, lack thereof).

The prize generally includes a brand-new car, a shopping spree for the best in golf supplies and the most coveted honor of all - a spot on a single PGA or LPGA tour event. The Golf Channel gives competitors their Big Break, but all the rest is up to them.

Honestly, I didn’t know the channel existed. Even more, I didn’t know the Golf Channel is chock-full of reality shows, like The Big Break (currently celebrating several successful seasons). So it was with a dubious eye that I watched the brand-new Fore Inventors Only, a show hosted by Golf Channel alum Vince Cellini. For the past few weeks, each Tuesday at 10 pm I’ve found myself tuning in. First it was a little bit of a freak show – auditioning before a panel in an American Idol-esque set up, would-be inventors paraded their golfing devices in hopes of finding fame and acclaim. Some of these inventions were unwieldy, some silly, some totally nonsensical. But a few – okay, something like forty – made it through round one. And, before I knew what was happening, I was hooked. On a show that’s on the Golf Channel. Go figure.
