This week on Golfweek Amateur Tour - The Podcast, Tim Newman and Chris Rocha tee it up with two incredible guests who represent everything we love about amateur golf and our amazing golf community.

First up is Steve Kubik, Augusta Tour Director and proud Marine veteran, who gives us a behind-the-scenes look at running competitive golf events—even when thousands of trees are down after a hurricane! From course conditions at Orangeburg and Parris Island to the camaraderie on the Senior Amateur Golf Tour, Steve’s stories are the stuff of legend. And get this: he’s rocking a 2.8 handicap... with zero formal lessons. (Marine grit for the win!)

Then we welcome our February Player of the Month, John Robinson Jr., aka "The Mayor of Hilton Head." JR shares the powerful story behind his pre-shot ritual—a tribute to his late father that’ll hit you right in the feels. He also dishes out local secrets for making the most of the RBC Heritage tournament, including where to watch, where to eat (hello, Stu’s Sub Shop ??), and how Hilton Head hospitality makes it all unforgettable.

And don’t miss the big giveaway! We're raffling off a brand-new set of Srixon ZX7 MK2 irons (4-PW) to help fund our podcast travels. Just $10 per entry gets you in the running to upgrade your bag and support your favorite amateur golf podcast!

Whether you're into local golf tours, chasing that next national championship, or just love hearing real stories from everyday golfers, this episode is packed with inspiration, laughs, and heartfelt moments.
