🎙️ 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.
