Summer Spectacular Live w/ Vanette Block of Team USA

We are live (or we were at least)! Tom and Pat took to the virtual airwaves of Facebook live for this episode to chat about a slew of major events happening in June. They were joined by Team USA's own (and World Champion) Vanette Block who just landed from her trip to the World Adventure Golf Masters (WAGM) in Austria. They spent a lot of time discussing that tournament, the style of play and the comraderie these international events have. Vanette stays on to also chat with Tom about his trip to the World Crazy Golf Championship (Crazies), which we had previewed in the last episode with our guest Seve.

They take a short interlude to talk about the recent Odetah Mini Golf (OMG) Classic in Connecticut along with a special appearance by Pat as a whale. Then the team wraps the episode up talking about the World Putting League's third event happening in Myrtle Beach on June 26th. Finally, Tom fires his way through a bunch of other events, most of which he will be playing, in late June and early July including the AMA events the M.C. Mini Masters and Putter League Championship.

It's a long episode but with so many wonderful tournaments to talk about it is hard not to be excited and chatty about the summer in the minigolf world!
