Golf Channel chronicles downtrodden pro Mark Burk in new series

By GolfChannel.com Team
Posted: December 7, 2010
ORLANDO, Fla. – Two years ago the life of 53-year old professional golfer Mark Burk changed. The man who won tournaments all around the world and coached celebrities found himself homeless and living in abandoned construction pipes in Palm Springs, Calif., after a romantic relationship went awry.

In the new 10-part series, "Pipe Dream," Golf Channel chronicles Burk’s journey to get his life back on track, regain his golf career and restore his good name. Beginning with the series worldwide premiere on Jan. 11 at 9:30 p.m. ET, viewers will find out if Burk is able to get back in the game or if it all proves to be just a pipe dream.

From age 13, Burk knew he only wanted to play golf. Studying under instructors including Ben Doyle, Jim Flick, Peter Kostis, and Kip Puterbaugh, Burk played in various professional golf tournaments across the country and internationally, spending a year on the Sunshine Tour in South Africa. After playing competitively, he became a golf instructor and Hollywood consultant, teaching actors Halle Berry and Hugh Jackman how to swing a golf club for the film Swordfish.

But after years of living a charmed life, Burk became homeless in 2008. Due to a bad turn of events, including an alleged domestic violence dispute with then girlfriend, supermodel Beverly Johnson, he was left penniless and without a place to live. "Pipe Dream" documents Burk’s struggle to survive on the streets, as well as his efforts to achieve his goal of getting back on the green. Throughout the series, viewers will watch as Burk begins to pick up the pieces of his life, get a job, deal with a pending legal battle against his ex-girlfriend and attempt to make it through Champions Tour Qualifying School.

“Pipe Dream follows the story of a man whose life has been turned upside down and now struggles daily to reclaim his name and his dream. Even through all of Mark’s personal and professional struggles, it’s been his passion and respect for the game of golf that has kept him alive,” said Keith Allo, Golf Channel vice president of programming and original productions. “We are very excited to continue to bring unique and diverse programming to Golf Channel and feel that Pipe Dream will not only resonate with golf fans but with anyone, who at one time in their life, dared to dream against all odds.”

*ORLANDO, Fla. (Dec. 10, 2010)—*Golf Channel announced today that veteran
sports broadcasters Erik Kuselias and Gary Williams will co-host the
network’s first live, morning show, *Morning Drive*.

Set to debut Jan. 3 from 7-9 a.m. ET, *Morning Drive* will originate from a
dedicated studio at Golf Channel’s Orlando, Fla., headquarters. Although
golf content will lead the way, the weekday show also will feature news and
commentary about stories making headlines around the world, finance, pop
culture – even weather. In addition, some of the biggest names in golf, as
well as personalities and celebrities from all walks of life, will regularly
join the show as studio guests.

Kuselias comes to Golf Channel from ESPN, where he has been a host and
analyst since 2003. Most recently, while at ESPN, Kuselias created and
hosted the Emmy Award-winning *Fantasy Football NOW*, was the primary host
of *College Football Live* and *The Erik Kuselias Show* on ESPN Radio, and
has been a fixture on *Mike and Mike in the Morning*. Previously, Kuselias
hosted the nationally syndicated *SportsBash* weekday afternoons on ESPN
Radio, and in 2007, he was the anchor for*NASCAR NOW*, when it was nominated
for an Emmy for "Best Studio Show."

Williams comes from Sirius Satellite Radio*, *where he co-hosted the early
morning show on Sirius’ *Mad Dog Radio. *He also served as a lead host on
the PGA TOUR Network on Sirius/XM. Previously, Williams hosted the
top-rated morning-drive sports-formatted radio program in Charlotte, N.C.,
for nine years. His other on-air credits include play-by-play for ESPN and
also the Carolina Panthers television network.

“Erik and Gary are welcome additions to the Golf Channel, and bring a wealth
of diverse experience in broadcast journalism,” said Tom Stathakes, Golf
Channel senior vice president of programming, production and operations.
“Both are incredible personalities and have a vast knowledge of golf and
beyond, which should create for extremely interesting content on *Morning
Drive*.”

Said Kuselias, “It’s exciting to be part of this new Golf Channel venture
and I look forward to working with Gary and the production team to bring a
dynamic morning program to viewers.”

“I’ve always been impressed with Golf Channel’s high-caliber broadcasts and
talented reporters and commentators,” said Williams. “I am thrilled to have
the opportunity to work with Erik Kuselias and the network’s production team
in creating a morning show that will both inform and entertain Golf Channel
fans.”

*Morning Drive *joins an exciting new slate of original programming
premiering this January, including the new docu-reality series *Pipe Dream,
*which follows a* *homeless man’s extraordinary journey to regain his life
and golf glory; the third season of *The Haney Project,* which will feature
Rush Limbaugh as he attempts to improve his golf game under the guidance of
one of the world’s best golf instructors and Tiger Woods
former swing coach Hank Haney; and a look behind the scenes at the Trump
golf empire on the second season of *Donald J. Trump’s Fabulous World of
Golf*. January also marks the start of the 2011 PGA TOUR season, with the
year’s first three events exclusively on Golf Channel.
