This week on the show we have the pleasure of talking with Bill Potter of The First Tee - Greater Richmond, the organization that manages and operates Belmont Golf Course in Henrico County. Belmont, then Hermitage Country Club, hosted the 1949 PGA Championship won by Virginia's own Sam Snead and to-date is still the only major championship hosted in the commonwealth. Bill talks about the work the First Tee has done at the property to preserve the A.W. Tillinghast's original design while making it accessible for golfers of all levels on multiple entry points.

In this episode, we're going to recap The Signature, which was at The Federal Club over the weekend. That was Friday, May 17th and Saturday the 18th at The Federal Club in Hanover County, an Arnold Palmer signature design course really in great shape, a little bit softer than it has been traditionally for this event, but in great shape.n For this episode, we're playing the post round interviews in their entirety versus the selected clips that make the post-round videos.
