With just 67 days until the National Championship, the competition is heating up, and so are the stories! In this episode, Tim Newman and Chris Rocha bring you a powerful mix of record-breaking golf, inspiring fundraising, and the camaraderie that makes the Golfweek Amateur Tour truly special.

We start in Arizona, where Gabe and his team are on the verge of hitting $10,000 raised for the V Foundation, proving once again that golf can be a powerful force for good. Then, we head to Louisiana to hear from Rod Baronet, who delivered one of the most jaw-dropping performances in tour history, rounds of 68 and 63 at Oak Wing, not only setting the lowest two-day score ever but also shooting his age for the first time at 65. His patient, strategic mindset is a masterclass for every amateur golfer.

Chris also shares highlights from his recent trip to Hawaii, including the unforgettable beauty (and challenges) of island golf. Plus, we give you the latest updates on regional championships, Player of the Month nominations, and the ongoing raffle for a brand-new set of irons.

Whether you’re chasing your own personal best, playing for a cause, or just soaking in the joy of our golf community, this episode is packed with the stories and strategies that make amateur golf competition so addictive.
