    EPISODE 130-FLORIDA MIKE TAKES A ROAD TRIP TO TROY

    This episode of the Upstate Golf Guys Podcast felt like the old days—just RGB, Florida Mike, and Anthony back behind the mics making bread and chopping it up. This is a special joint episode with the Pitch, Putt & Puff Podcast, bringing both crews together for a weekend full of golf, laughs, and great stories. Florida Mike made his second trip to Troy, NY, and spent the weekend teeing it up with the Pitch, Putt & Puff Crew, playing three rounds at Frear Park. We break down the golf, the laughs, the highlights, and share some clips from our Sunday round. Of course, no trip to Troy is complete without talking food. Mike missed out on the legendary DeFazio's Pizza, but he did get to experience another local favorite, the seasonal sensation Kay's Pizza. The big question is... which one do you think would've been his favorite? We also talk about everything else Mike squeezed into his Upstate New York visit, including trips to Lake George and the Catskills, while looking back on another unforgettable golf weekend. Now the pressure is officially on! After Mike made the trip north again, it's time for RGB and Anthony to head south this winter for some Florida golf. The countdown starts now! Tune in, enjoy the conversation, and don't forget to check out the clips from our Sunday round at Frear Park. We think you'll feel like you're right there with us.

    GOLFWEEK SPOTLFIGHT FREAR PARK 2 DAY MAJOR

    🎙️ Golfweek Spotlight – Frear Park Two-Day Major Recap What a weekend at Frear Park. Two days, tough pin locations, fast greens, pressure-packed putts, and a leaderboard that had everybody talking. This wasn’t just another stop on the Golfweek Amateur Tour — this felt like a major championship. For this Golfweek Spotlight segment, we brought on D Flight champion Brian DeBell after an absolute heater of a weekend. And when we say heater… we mean HEATER. Brian didn’t just win the flight — he cleaned house. Between the D Flight victory, multiple skins, a closest-to-the-pin, and cashing in on the massive carryover 2-putt pool from The Swan, he walked away with over $700 for the weekend. That’s the kind of weekend every tour player dreams about. We also had Brad “Scrounge” DiPietro jump on with us to break down his rollercoaster weekend. Brad came out firing on Saturday and looked like he was ready to make a serious run, but Sunday at Frear Park reminded everybody how brutal that course can be once things start slipping. We talked about where the round got away from him, the mental grind of trying to hold it together, and how one bad stretch at Frear can turn into three or four holes in a hurry. And of course… RGB was back. Nobody knows Frear Park better than RGB, and hearing him break down the strategy, the mistakes guys were making, and the shots you absolutely cannot miss out there made this one of the best Spotlight segments yet. Some of the stories and reactions from the weekend had us rolling. We also went around the room talking favorite and least favorite holes at Frear Park. Some holes got a lot of love… others got absolutely roasted. A few holes look easy standing on the tee until that course punches you right in the mouth. We talked risk/reward decisions, brutal green complexes, impossible recoveries, and the holes that can completely destroy a scorecard. By the end of the weekend, Frear Park did exactly what a major venue should do — it rewarded players who stayed patient, managed mistakes, and grinded through adversity. Another unbelievable event for the Upstate NY Golfweek Amateur Tour, and if this weekend proved anything, it’s that every single flight this season is going to be a battle. Make sure to tune in for the full breakdown, stories from the weekend, cash games, pressure moments, and plenty of laughs from one of the wildest events of the year so far.

Pressure shots, tight leaderboards, and a finish in A Flight that delivered right away to start the season.

Jason Hoch joins us after his win, along with Kevin D, who pushed him all the way to a playoff. We break down that extra hole, the nerves, and the shots that decided it. We also talk The Swan — what players liked, what they didn’t, and what they might’ve changed if they had a say in the setup.

    LIVE-MASTERS SPECIAL!

    This week on the podcast, Anthony RGB and Florida Mike are back with a full-blown Masters Special—and we kick things off with the big news surrounding Tiger Woods. With Tiger officially out and not playing in this year’s The Masters Tournament, we talk about what that means for the field, the storylines, and the overall vibe at Augusta. From there, we dive into one of the best traditions in golf—the Champions Dinner. We break down some of our favorite menus from the past 10 years, from classic southern spreads to some unique picks from international winners. Then we flip it on ourselves… what would OUR Champions Dinner look like if we slipped on that Green Jacket? Let’s just say, things got interesting. Then it’s time to get competitive. We each drafted our own Masters teams across 8 different categories—building out squads of contenders, sleepers, and wild cards. There’s a lot of pride (and trash talk) on the line here, because the loser is buying the winner a free round of golf this summer. Stakes are HIGH. We also throw out a great question to wrap things up: What’s your price tag to play Augusta National? What’s the absolute most you’d pay for that once-in-a-lifetime round? As always, big shoutout to our sponsor Hudson Valley Indoor Golf—go check them out and get your game dialed in. And don’t forget—the Golfweek Amateur Tour season is right around the corner, kicking off in just two weeks. Huge things are coming this year with Evan Silkworth, owner of HVI Golf, stepping in as the new Upstate director. If you’ve ever wanted to compete, now’s the time—go sign up and be part of it!
