champions tour

Why is the age 50 considered to be a rookie in golf? When Craig started thinking about The Champions Tour and the steps to get his game ready to compete at the professional level. 

He won the qualifier at Edgewater CC in Portland shooting 65. The reason why he went there to qualify for The US Senior Open. His thoughts on the course the open was played, which was Sentry World in Stevens Point, WI. Did the course change throughout the week? 

What his day was like with an afternoon tee time on Day 1? Was the quick turnaround from a late tee time Thursday to an early one on Friday an issue? Challenge to play smart vs trying too hard….After making the cut, did he feel more relaxed on Saturday? He birdied 2 of the last 3 holes on Saturday, did he find something as he carded -5 on Sunday. 

Did Craig notice he was appreciating things more, the support from the Vegas community, and will we see him more on The Champions Tour?

Rhode Island golf royalty Billy Andrade joins Kevin this week to preview the 121st United States Open at Torrey Pines. Billy gives his thoughts on USGA course set up, betting favorites, betting long shots, and the state of golf during this pandemic era.

Golf has been their life. Kevin and David Sutherland of Sacramento spent a combined 33 years on the PGA Tour. Older brother Kevin has continued his career on the Champions Tour (Golf Tour for those age 50 and older) where he is the top money earner this season at age 56. After leaving the PGA Tour, David has found his second life in golf as a successful coach for the Sacramento State Women's team. He has been there since 2007 and was named Big Sky Conference Coach of the Year in 2017, 2018, and 2019.

In today's episode of Experience the Buzz, Host Steve Buzzard spends time with the Sutherland Brothers discussing the unique game of golf. "The word that kept coming into my mind was UNORTHODOX. When you hear about what players have to do to get on the Tour, it's overwhelming. For Kevin and David, they had  the right mindset because of the way they approached the game. It was and has always been meant to be FUN!" Our conversation hits THREE areas: 

• Segment ONE 💥  opens with Kevin discussing his life on the Champions Tour. The question was brought up, "Who is the better golfer" which triggered a great discussion amongst the brothers. We finish the segment with growing up around the game of golf.
• Segment TWO 💥 begins with PGA TOUR aspirations. So unorthodox, but refreshing to hear. Both brothers talk about their time on the PGA TOUR and share some great stories. Kevin discusses his first PGA TOUR win in 2002 in which he beat another local golfer Scott McCarron in the WGC Accenture. David gives us a detailed look at playing at the British Open while Kevin describes his three trips to Augusta, Georgia to play in the Masters.
• Segment THREE 💥 starts with the next generation of golfers that include both of the Sutherland Brother's boys, Keaton (Kevin) and Matthew (David + Andrew). David preaches in this segment. It's great stuff. The brothers talk about the mental game of golf and offer some sound advice. We get details on Kevin's 59 that he shot in 2014 (only golfer on the Champions Tour to do it and ONE of 12 to do it professionally). David reflects on his time at Sac State as the Golf Coach and we finish out with the longest round of Rapid Fire (which included some more great golf stories). 

Here are some of my favorite HIGHLIGHTS  ...
▪️1. "I did not go to Fresno State thinking I was going to play on the PGA Tour," - Kevin Sutherland when asked about aspirations to play professionally.
▪️2. It was a brief mention, but between the two brothers, the duo has 11 Hole-In-One's.
▪️3. David's description of the unique quality GOLF has over any other sport.

Our Connection | We became friends when the Sutherland boys attended Buzzardball and participated in both the Summer Camp and Winter League. Keaton Sutherland (Kevin + Mary's son) also attended St. Michael's where I am a teacher and athletic director.

Jeff has over 25 years of experience in the game of golf. He talks about becoming a state champion in Indiana, becoming a pro, and what his nerves were like making his first pro cut. Jeff goes into the competition between his brother (Jim- 5x Winner on the PGA) and himself. We talk about getting into contention, being in a US Open and why playing in the US Senior Open (4x) has meant so much to him each time. 

There are plenty of great golf nuggets in this interview along with his injuries he has overcome and what it is like to be in the “golf groove.”

In this episode, Peter chats with his friend Terry Porter, former Point Guard for the Portland Trail Blazers and current coach of the University of Portland men's basketball team. Then he makes a few Presidents Cup Predictions with World Golf Correspondent Jack James, and debates the question on everyone's mind right now: Will Tiger Pick Himself?

In this episode, Peter recaps The 148th Open Championship and talks to Gary McCrudden, former Council Member at Royal Portrush Golf Club, about the significance and impact of hosting The Open Championship in Northern Ireland. Then he sits down with his friend and former caddie Mike "Fluff" Cowan to recap some of their past Open Championship appearances – including the infamous 1985 streaker incident at Royal St. Georges.

In the first episode of Jake's Takes Podcast, Peter shares Pebble Beach memories, shares his "hit list" of guys to watch during the 119th U.S. Open, catches up with 1987 U.S Open champion Scott Simpson, and recalls stories from the set of Tin Cup.
