Golf in the Lower Hudson Valley, from high schools to the pros

Sikora catches a Big Break

March
24

Anybody who doesn’t get enough reality on the course will be able to watch Valley Cottage resident Nicole Sikora compete in the 11th season of the Big Break.

The latest installment of the Golf Channel reality show premieres April 20.

According to her bio, Sikora was on the golf team at St. Thomas Aquinas College and was a member of the Duramed Futures Tour in 2007 before heading to Wall Street as an executive assistant for a New York broker. She doesn’t have the same kind of resume on the course as the other 11 competitors, although Sikora was twice featured in the Golf Digest Japan World Ladies of Golf calendar.

I know. I laughed, too.

The 11 episodes were filmed in Canada, on Prince Edward Island and include the usual physical and mental challenges. It’s darn near impossible to break those panes of glass. At least on purpose. The winner receives $100,000 to finance a run on whatever tour they can latch on with.
