Hey y'all, I'm Elliott Hall. In this episode of "The Journey to St. Andrews." We've got a special extended episode this time, coming to you from our golf-packed adventure at the PGA Championship in Valhalla, Louisville, Kentucky. Due to a family vacation coming up, I'm splitting this episode into two parts, so let’s dive into part one. The next episode will be released next week.

Last week was jam-packed as I squeezed in lots of golf before heading off on my family vacation. I won’t be playing for the next two weeks, but there's plenty to share about my trip to Valhalla for the PGA Championship. From a new driver that sadly didn’t make its debut, to a fun distributor golf retreat where we played a tight four-ball tournament, ending just a point short at 208 to 209.

The retreat was topped off with a trip to Fairway Social in Alpharetta, Georgia, for some simulator fun. Then, my dad, a couple of buddies, and I hit up Louisville for the PGA Championship. We had a blast, especially thanks to the hospitality from the PGA crew.

Friday brought us to the greens of Valhalla. Despite a bit of rain, we saw golf greats like Rory and Tiger battle to make the cut, all amidst the fantastic course layout and vibrant atmosphere.

On Saturday, we took a detour along the Bourbon Trail, hitting up distilleries like Wild Turkey, Four Roses, Buffalo Trace, and Bulleit. If you're ever in the area don't miss the Bourbon Trail tons of history and good drinks.

That wraps up this episode, but stay tuned for the continuation of our adventures in part two. Please like follow and subscribe. You can also follow me on socials @elliottphall
