    Inside the Golfweek Amateur Tour: Real Stories from Competitive Amateur Golf
    Mar 9 2026
    In this episode of the Golfweek Amateur Tour - The Podcast, hosts Tim Newman and Chris Rocha dive into another great week in the world of the Golfweek Amateur Tour and Senior Amateur Tour Competition. The episode kicks off with a conversation featuring Sean Redmond, who is making big moves in Virginia as the new Senior Amateur Tour Director while continuing to build the Richmond Golfweek Amateur Tour community. Sean joins the show during a busy regional weekend featuring nearly 190 players competing across two championship golf courses. Sean shares what it takes to run successful competitive golf events, the importance of building relationships with players, and how tour directors across the country work together to strengthen the Golfweek Amateur Tour brand. From securing great golf courses to keeping events affordable for players, Sean explains how the focus always comes back to delivering a world-class experience for everyday golfers. One of the biggest themes of the conversation is something every amateur golfer understands: the brotherhood that forms through local golf tours and tournaments. Whether you’re a Champion Flight competitor or a D-Flight grinder, the goal is the same: to compete, improve, and enjoy the game with a community of golfers who share the same passion. Chris also brings coverage from a recent two-man Amateur golf tournament, interviewing champions from multiple divisions.

  • Quiet Hole-in-One, Loud Lessons: Cowboy Golf, Course Management & Senior Icebreaker Highlights

    Quiet Hole-in-One, Loud Lessons: Cowboy Golf, Course Management & Senior Icebreaker Highlights
    Feb 23 2026
    Where Amateurs Play Like Pros! This week on the Golfweek Amateur Tour - The Podcast, we bring you everything that makes the Golfweek Amateur Tour & Senior Amateur Tour special: unforgettable moments, hard-earned victories, and the kind of camaraderie that defines our golf community. We kick things off with Champ Flight standout Ty Taylor from the El Paso Tour, fresh off his third hole-in-one, and maybe the quietest ace in Golfweek Amateur Tour history. No roar. No fireworks. Just a striped six-iron into the wind at Rio Mimbres… and then the realization that it disappeared. Classic. Ty walks us through: His 190-yard par-3 ace in brutal Deming wind Why he almost kept playing the hole-in-one ball (rookie move avoided) How he’s stacked up 55 birdies, 4 eagles, and 5 wins in 31 Amateur Golf tournaments Why eliminating “hero shots” is the key to better scores in Competitive Golf Events If you’re a high handicapper trying to level up your tournament game, this is gold. The difference between Champ Flight and the rest? It’s not magic. It’s avoiding triples and playing smart. Then we shift to Hilton Head Island for coverage from the Senior Icebreaker Regional, one of the most relaxed, competitive, and fun stops in our National Championship season. We hear from: Eli Villanueva (Champ Flight) - From 7 back to playoff victory Keith Breazeale (A Flight) - Steady 80-80 consistency under pressure Michael Anderson (B Flight) - Two-time Senior National Champion, doing what he does best David Yi (C Flight) - 88-88 and walks away with the win Butch Novak (D Flight & Tour Director) - Playoff victory and a Firestone plug This is what Amateur golf tournaments are about. Different flights. Different journeys. Same competitive fire. We also get a Myrtle Beach tournament update from Chris Rocha as he preps for a team event and breaks down the strategy behind managing weather, tee times, and team scoring. If you love tournament golf, competitive strategy, and stories from everyday golfers chasing the next great round, this is your golf podcast for everyday golfers. Listen. Compete. Travel. Win.
