A Big World Adventure Golf Masters Review and other tournaments across the world

Puttcast — Thu, 27 Jun 2024 09:00:00 -0400

Tom and Pat are back in the "studio" remembering how to podcast after catching up on sleep from the World Adventure Golf Masters (WAGM). They dive deep into WAGM (4:15) giving a quick overview of the tournament in total and then talking about Tom's experience as a rookie there. This leads to all sorts of discussion about the international style of play at these tournaments and where they see ways the US game can improve and grow at that level.

It was then time to touch on the results of a handful of recent events like the World Crazy Golf Championship (57:50), the AMA 1st Rosebud Open {1:03:30}, the AMA Salty Seagull tournament (1:05:52), the PPA National Invitational (1:08:05) and a recent Putting World event (1:10:03). They find their way again by the end of the episode to wrap up looking at some upcoming events in June/July (1:11:00). This episode may have gotten wondering at times but there was a lot going on since they chatted last!

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.
