Quiet Hole-in-One, Loud Lessons: Cowboy Golf, Course Management & Senior Icebreaker Highlights

Where Amateurs Play Like Pros!

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.

Listen. Compete. Travel. Win.
