This episode of the Golfweek Amateur Tour - The Podcast is all about honoring veterans, Amateur Golf, and the players who embody what the Golfweek Amateur Tour is truly about: competition, camaraderie, and showing up week after week because they love the game.
Tim Newman and Chris Rocha sit down with two dedicated Golfweek Amateur Tour players and military veterans: Cleveland’s Jaymee Hooshangi and Arizona’s Jordan Isaac.
Jaymee shares his journey from joining the Army after high school to finding competitive golf later in life. From Air Defense Artillery to becoming one of Cleveland’s most consistent Golfweek Amateur Tour members, Jaymee talks about why tournament golf keeps pulling him back and why the friendships on tour matter just as much as the scores.
Jordan Isaac brings a powerful story from his service in the United States Marine Corps, including two combat deployments to Afghanistan. He opens up about the brotherhood of service, transitioning back to civilian life, and how the Golfweek Amateur Tour unexpectedly changed his life in more ways than one… including meeting his fiancée through the tour.
