  <description>&lt;p&gt;Our hosts start off looking at two AMA events that both happened the first weekend of August with the Red Putter in Wisconsin and the Maine Open at Tabers in Maine. From there it's a trip over (again) to Uppsala, Sweden and a lengthy discussion of the 2023 Minigolf World Championships General Class given Pat's time over there in the run up to the tournament. That discussion covers a lot about the differences between international championships at the highest level and what we might be used to in the US for tournaments.  Finally, the guys come back to the States to cover the PPA National Championships and the most recent big money Putting World event.  That's where it was wrapped up for Part 1.  &lt;/p&gt;
