This week, Chris Rocha takes the lead early before Tim Newman jumps in, and the episode delivers everything that makes the Golfweek Amateur Tour THE premier amateur golf tour in the country.

We kick things off with a fan-favorite segment, Roger’s Rules, where Roger Cowan breaks down real situations from the course, including one he personally experienced… hitting the wrong ball. Yes, even the rules expert had a moment.

From there, the conversation dives into:

• What happens when you hit the wrong ball (and how costly it can be)
• How provisional balls actually work in tournament play
• Penalty area confusion and how to handle it correctly
• Practice swings gone wrong (literally)

If you play in local golf tours or any amateur golf competition, this segment alone is worth the listen.

Then we head north to the Minneapolis Amateur Golf scene, where Tour Director Matt Foehse joins the show to talk about:

• Growing a Golf Community in a short-season market
• Packing 15 golf tournaments into a Midwest schedule
• Using video and social media to grow participation
• Building a next-level tournament experience (including a mobile tournament trailer setup)
• Why delivering a great player experience matters more than ever

This is a masterclass in how local golf tours are evolving and how directors across the Golfweek Amateur Tour are raising the bar for amateur golf nationwide.

We close things out with some Masters talk, travel stories, and a reminder of what makes this tour special: competition, camaraderie, and a community that feels like family.

If you’re looking for amateur golf tournaments, want to compete in a National Championship, or just love the game, this is your tour.

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. These interviews highlight what makes Golfweek Amateur Tour events special: friendly competition, tough weather conditions, clutch shots, and golfers from across the country coming together to compete.

Among the highlights:

• Division II champions talk about “ham-and-egg” teamwork to stay consistent
• Third Flight champions describe a tight final-round battle
• Senior Amateur Tour champions discuss clutch eagle shots and course strategy
• Chris shares the experience of competing head-to-head with the eventual winners

The episode wraps with a behind-the-scenes look at what it’s like for tour directors to balance running tournaments, playing competitive golf, and building a national golf community.

If you love Amateur Golf, competitive tournaments, and the stories behind everyday golfers chasing their best rounds, this episode delivers.

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.

The new year is here, and it’s time for amateur golfers to stop giving strokes away. In this episode of Golfweek Amateur Tour - The Podcast, Tim Newman and Chris Rocha kick off 2026 with a deep dive into the most misunderstood USGA rules, smart competitive golf strategy, and a Vegas tour update that every serious amateur golfer should hear.

We start with Roger breaking down the USGA rules that trip up even experienced players, from embedded ball relief outside the fairway cut to red penalty area options, nearest point of relief versus the nicest lie, and what really happens when a practice swing moves your ball. If you play Golfweek Amateur Tour tournaments, these are the rules mistakes quietly wrecking scorecards every weekend.

Then we head west with Las Vegas Tour Director Kevin Durant, who gives a candid update on the Vegas Golfweek Amateur Tour, including why Paiute plays completely different when the wind kicks up, how practice rounds and single-day tune-ups can sharpen your game, and why the Golfweek Amateur Tour continues to deliver elite competitive golf events at fair prices. Kevin also shares his transition into A-Flight, mindset shifts, and how regional events prepare players for the National Championship.

We wrap with mindset, travel strategy, and consistency, because the Golfweek Amateur Tour isn’t just about swing mechanics. It’s about preparation, routine, community, and making smarter decisions under pressure.

This episode is for everyday golfers who want to play better, travel smarter, and compete like pros, without acting like one.

This week on the Golfweek Amateur Tour - The Podcast, Tim Newman and Chris Rocha bring together three stories that perfectly capture what makes Amateur Golf, Competitive Golf Events, and the entire Golfweek Amateur Tourcommunity so addictive. From innovative instruction to new leadership to a cross-state showdown, this episode shows exactly why the Tour continues to thrive nationwide.

The episode opens with Evan Silkworth, a former eighth-grade English teacher who somehow managed to turn pedagogy into a competitive advantage in the golf world. Evan walks Tim and Chris through the unlikely parallels between classroom instruction and golf coaching, how learning styles, sequencing, and clear feedback loops create better players and better experiences for everyday golfers. Now running Hudson Valley Indoor Golf, Evan explains why details like tour-quality golf balls, oversized simulator bays, and data-driven software matter for helping players dial in their game. He also shares his plans as a new tour director, emphasizing high-quality courses, better scheduling, and creating a tour environment that feels professional without losing the fun and camaraderie that define the Golfweek Amateur Tour.

From there, the conversation shifts to Atlanta, where the Tour welcomes its first-ever father-son director duo, Chris and Mike Webb. They talk about stepping into leadership together, honoring the traditions of one of the most active markets in the country, and bringing in modern touches to energize members. Their 2025 schedule blends beloved venues with strategic Monday events that give players access to premium private clubs. They’re also rolling out new engagement strategies, a season-ending Par-3 event, and initiatives that strengthen the Golf Community both on and off the course. The Webbs’ chemistry and complementary strengths make it clear that Atlanta is in for an exciting year.

The episode closes with a rivalry that’s quickly becoming legend: El Paso–Las Cruces vs. Arizona. Two days. Pressure moments. Clutch putts. A championship belt. And a D Flight finish that decides it all. Along the way, both tours come together to launch joint fundraising for the V Foundation, proving once again that even the fiercest competition on the Golfweek Amateur Tour still feels like family when the final putt drops. It’s everything that makes the Golfweek Amateur Tour tournaments meaningful: pride, friendly chirps, unforgettable moments, and a shared commitment to giving back.

If you geek out about Golfweek Amateur Tour, you will love hearing how directors shape the player experience, or simply enjoy the stories that bring everyday golfers together. This episode delivers the perfect mix of strategy, personality, and heart.

To wrap the year, Tim and Chris welcome two Directors’ Cup champions whose stories capture exactly what our Golf Community is all about.

Even while blind in one eye, she’s climbed from D-Flight to C-Flight, recruited more women to the game, and become a true ambassador for the Arkansas Golfweek Amateur Tour.

We also go behind the scenes with Tim Horan, Tour Director for the Philadelphia and New Jersey Golfweek Amateur Tours, to find out how he’s built two of the most sought-after local tours in the country. From locking down private country club tee times to balancing schedules and player expectations, Tim shares the hustle it takes to make each weekend unforgettable.

Oh, and yes, we talk birthdays, scheduling chaos, and what happens when a golf tournament lands on your kid’s big day. It’s equal parts heartfelt and hilarious.

In this episode:

• Traci’s transition from marathons to competitive golf
• How she’s grown the Arkansas Tour’s female presence
• The power of putting, even when vision is impaired
• Why course quality and community matter more than trophies
• Tim Horan’s strategy for securing elite venues
• The art (and chaos) of scheduling tournaments
• Honoring all June Members of the Month nominees

Whether you’re chasing a trophy or your next round with friends, this episode is a reminder of why we say: Where Amateurs Play Like Pros!

CORRECTION FROM ROGER'S SEGMENT
Hey guys, just listened to the podcast. Loved it all. I did notice something in the playback. I made a couple of small “mistakes” or just the verbiage that used wasn’t entirely correct.  One had to do with the rules the other was I think I stated the wrong caddy right in the beginning. But regarding the rules  - I said “back on the line of flight” one time and that’s kind of a bad thing to say - a real “no-no” in the Rules official world. ( It’s back on the line relief as you know ) and if somebody was really paying attention, they would say - hey that’s not right.
