Amateur golf is more than just birdies and bogeys—it's about the friendships, the shared experiences, and the unforgettable moments that happen between the shots. In this episode, Tim Newman and Chris Rocha bring you stories from the Golfweek Amateur Tour that showcase the power of community in amateur golf tournaments.

🏆 Kevin Odom from Louisiana North shares his thrilling playoff victory at Stonebridge, but more importantly, he talks about the camaraderie that makes competitive golf events so special. He even jokes that his fellow players will be "carrying his coffin one day"—a true testament to the friendships formed on tour.

🎸 Jeff Helbig, Nashville Tour Director, takes us to Muscle Shoals, Alabama, where Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail hosts some of the best local golf tour stops in the country. We dive into the Fighting Joe and Schoolmaster courses, their affordability, and the area's legendary music history—where artists like Aretha Franklin and Bob Seger recorded their biggest hits.

🔥 Other episode highlights include:

✔️ Why Louisiana’s golf scene is about more than just great courses—it's about family.

✔️ The Shoals Regional tournament—an unbeatable opportunity to play championship courses at an incredible value.

✔️ The importance of supporting our golf community through tough times.

✔️ The hidden golf gems of Nashville and why its golf scene is a sleeping giant.

✔️ Fun golf strategy talk, including why aiming for the bunkers (yes, really) might be the right move on some holes.

Whether you're chasing a trophy or just looking to connect with fellow golfers, the Golfweek Amateur Tour is where competition and community come together.
