Welcome back to another episode of the Golfweek Amateur Tour Podcast, where amateurs play like pros, and every round has a story.

This week, we’re diving deep into the heart of the Golfweek Amateur Tour competition, from tour growth to unforgettable moments on the course. Tim and Chris sit down with Alabama Tour Director Scott Parker, who’s quietly building one of the most respected local golf tours in the country.

Scott shares how his Golfweek Amateur Tour and Senior Amateur Tour have exploded in growth, what it takes to run high-level amateur golf tournaments, and why pace of play might be the most underrated factor in competitive golf.

Then, we head to Orlando, where Chris Rocha caught up with champions across multiple flights, highlighting what makes this golf community so unique: competition, camaraderie, and a whole lot of grit.
