    EPISODE 132- 3 PUTT PAT
    2026/09/02
    This week on the Upstate Golf Guys Podcast, we’re joined by golf content creator 3 Putt Pat for a hilarious conversation about his latest—and possibly craziest—challenge yet! Pat is literally working his way through the phonebook, calling complete strangers and asking them if they want to play a round of golf with him. And yes… he’s paying for the round! We dive into where the idea came from, some of the wild responses he’s gotten so far, and the big question: When the hell is someone actually going to say YES?! But that’s not the only crazy thing Pat has done for content. He’s also been known to do some absolutely ridiculous challenges—like smashing golf balls into his own van until he hits a certain follower goal. 🤣 We talk about Pat’s love for the game, how he got started playing golf, our shared obsession with the game, and plenty of laughs along the way. And just when you think we’re done, we finish things off with a rapid-fire spitfire round that you definitely won’t want to miss! ⛳ Golf. Content. Chaos. What more could you want? And as always, make sure you show some love to our sponsor, Hudson Valley Indoor Golf! 🏌️‍♂️ Give the episode a listen, drop a comment, and let us know: Would YOU answer the phone and agree to play a round of golf with 3 Putt Pat? 😂 Learn more about your ad choices.

  • EPISODE 131- BREAKING 80

    EPISODE 131- BREAKING 80
    2026/08/20
    This week on The Upstate Golf Guys Podcast, we dive into one of the toughest milestones in amateur golf: breaking 80. I talk about the struggles of getting over that hump, what you should—and definitely shouldn’t—do when you're putting together a great round, and how quickly things can change when you know you're right on the doorstep. I’ve been there the past few weeks, giving myself legitimate chances to break 80, but just barely missing the mark every time. We get into the mental side of chasing that number, the mistakes that can derail a round, and what it takes to finally get over the hump and shoot in the 70s. Plus, we had a fun question-and-answer segment with co-host RGB, talking golf and having some laughs along the way! If you’ve ever stood on the course knowing you have a chance to break 80—or had a great round slip away—you’ll definitely be able to relate to this episode. Learn more about your ad choices.

  • GOLFWEEK SPOTLIGHT-HILAND BREAKDOWN

    GOLFWEEK SPOTLIGHT-HILAND BREAKDOWN
    2026/08/05
    This week on the Upstate Golf Guys Podcast, we are back with a new Golfweek Spotlight and we're joined by Mike Winters, Assistant Director of the Golfweek Amateur Tour, along with Brad Facteau, for a great conversation packed with tournament recaps, course strategy, and plenty of laughs. We kick things off by breaking down the two-day Major at Eagle Crest, where the course played every bit as long and difficult as advertised. We recap the weekend, discuss some of the biggest challenges players faced, and give a well-deserved shout-out to all of the flight winners for their outstanding performances. From there, we look ahead to the next Golfweek Amateur Tour stop at Hiland Golf Club in Queensbury, NY. Since Hiland is Mike and Brad's home course, they share insider knowledge on what players can expect. We go hole-by-hole, pointing out key landing areas, risk-versus-reward decisions, and where trouble is waiting. One thing became very clear—Hiland is not a course where you can just grip it and rip it. Water hazards, white stakes, and tight landing areas are everywhere, and they have a way of sneaking up on you if you're not paying attention. Accuracy off the tee is going to be the key to posting a good score. If you tend to slice the ball, you may want to leave the driver in the bag on a few holes! Whether you're playing this week's event or just enjoy hearing course strategy and tournament talk, this episode is full of valuable insight to help you prepare for one of the tougher tests on the schedule. we finished the episode off with a little Tiger talk and a few questions and answers to close out. Be sure to like, subscribe, and let us know your predictions for Hiland. We'll see everyone on the first tee! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    BONUS EPISODE- GIMMIES OR NO GIMMIES?
    2026/07/28
    Summer is flying by, and before we know it, we'll be back inside at Hudson Valley Indoor Golf with snow on the ground! This week, it's just Anthony and RGB catching up, talking about how fast the season is moving and making the most of every round while we still can. The boys also dive into one of the hottest debates in our Sunday Loop PPP: Gimmies or no gimmies? Do you putt everything out? Does it change when there's money on the line? Things got a little heated on the 7th hole as both sides made their case, and trust us—you'll probably have an opinion too. We also had some fun with a round of "Would You Rather?" as RGB fired off a few golf-themed questions for Anthony that led to some great laughs and interesting answers. Looking ahead, we're getting pumped for our upcoming golf trip to Binghamton, where we'll be teeing it up at Conklin and En-Joie. Weekend golf trips with the boys are always unforgettable, and we can't wait to share the stories from this one.

    This episode of the Upstate Golf Guys Podcast felt like the old days—just RGB, Florida Mike, and Anthony back behind the mics making bread and chopping it up. This is a special joint episode with the Pitch, Putt & Puff Podcast, bringing both crews together for a weekend full of golf, laughs, and great stories. Florida Mike made his second trip to Troy, NY, and spent the weekend teeing it up with the Pitch, Putt & Puff Crew, playing three rounds at Frear Park. We break down the golf, the laughs, the highlights, and share some clips from our Sunday round. Of course, no trip to Troy is complete without talking food. Mike missed out on the legendary DeFazio's Pizza, but he did get to experience another local favorite, the seasonal sensation Kay's Pizza. The big question is... which one do you think would've been his favorite? We also talk about everything else Mike squeezed into his Upstate New York visit, including trips to Lake George and the Catskills, while looking back on another unforgettable golf weekend. Now the pressure is officially on! After Mike made the trip north again, it's time for RGB and Anthony to head south this winter for some Florida golf. The countdown starts now!

  • GOLFWEEK SPOTLFIGHT FREAR PARK 2 DAY MAJOR

    GOLFWEEK SPOTLFIGHT FREAR PARK 2 DAY MAJOR
    2026/05/20
    🎙️ Golfweek Spotlight – Frear Park Two-Day Major Recap What a weekend at Frear Park. Two days, tough pin locations, fast greens, pressure-packed putts, and a leaderboard that had everybody talking. This wasn’t just another stop on the Golfweek Amateur Tour — this felt like a major championship. For this Golfweek Spotlight segment, we brought on D Flight champion Brian DeBell after an absolute heater of a weekend. And when we say heater… we mean HEATER. Brian didn’t just win the flight — he cleaned house. Between the D Flight victory, multiple skins, a closest-to-the-pin, and cashing in on the massive carryover 2-putt pool from The Swan, he walked away with over $700 for the weekend. That’s the kind of weekend every tour player dreams about. We also had Brad “Scrounge” DiPietro jump on with us to break down his rollercoaster weekend. Brad came out firing on Saturday and looked like he was ready to make a serious run, but Sunday at Frear Park reminded everybody how brutal that course can be once things start slipping. We talked about where the round got away from him, the mental grind of trying to hold it together, and how one bad stretch at Frear can turn into three or four holes in a hurry. And of course… RGB was back. Nobody knows Frear Park better than RGB, and hearing him break down the strategy, the mistakes guys were making, and the shots you absolutely cannot miss out there made this one of the best Spotlight segments yet. Some of the stories and reactions from the weekend had us rolling. We also went around the room talking favorite and least favorite holes at Frear Park. Some holes got a lot of love… others got absolutely roasted. A few holes look easy standing on the tee until that course punches you right in the mouth. We talked risk/reward decisions, brutal green complexes, impossible recoveries, and the holes that can completely destroy a scorecard. By the end of the weekend, Frear Park did exactly what a major venue should do — it rewarded players who stayed patient, managed mistakes, and grinded through adversity. Another unbelievable event for the Upstate NY Golfweek Amateur Tour, and if this weekend proved anything, it’s that every single flight this season is going to be a battle. Make sure to tune in for the full breakdown, stories from the weekend, cash games, pressure moments, and plenty of laughs from one of the wildest events of the year so far.
