Golfweek Amateur Tour - The Podcast

Send us a text

Our latest episode swings into action with tales from Deon Cook, a retired Air Force veteran whose golfing aspirations soared from winning a single tournament to clinching a national championship. As we go beyond the leaderboard, we explore the depth of what golf means to veterans like Deon and other veterans – a journey of personal growth, competition, and unbreakable bonds formed on the green.
Ever considered what a 'golf leave' might look like? Major Mike Miller, who's about to transition from a 25-year military service to civilian life, is living that very dream ahead of his official retirement in August. We swap stories of our service days, the challenges and thrills of military life, and how the game of golf becomes a sanctuary for soldiers seeking a sense of normalcy amidst the chaos. Join us as we reflect on our own paths from the structured world of the military to the freedom and camaraderie found in retirement – and on the golf course.
Concluding with a call to all the golf enthusiasts out there, we're peering into the future of our Golfweek Amateur Tour – from the stories of our latest tournaments to the anticipation of upcoming competitions. Get a sneak peek into our tour updates, the thrill of tournament organization, and how we're fostering a community that's as tight-knit as it is competitive. And if you've got a flair for design, we're all ears for your shirt submissions and look forward to connecting with you through our new website feature. Grab your clubs and join our conversation; this episode is all about embracing the game and the people who make it great.
