Welcome to the Clubhouse with Shane Bacon.

I am your host, Shane Bacon, and I'm home.

I finally got home.

Three weeks on the road with Fox.

It was a lot of traveling.

It was a lot of events, and it was a lot of fun.

I mean, you know, I think back to Philly and the women's amateur,

and it seems like it was a year ago.

But you talk about some golf courses.

We got to see.

Rolling Green was amazing.

Sioda, of course, is everything you'd ever won.

And then, you know, to end at Oakland is just unbelievable.

And the U.S. amateur, you know, the U.S. amateur as a broadcaster might be the most fun event to cover all year,

and both the men's and the women's, for that matter, because, you know, you're getting players

that are open to talk to you. They're excited to talk to you. They're excited to play golf.

They hit driver on every hole. I'm not sure they've ever even heard of laying up in their entire

lives. And you just get these storylines and you start to follow certain players.

And you see guys like Nick Carlson and you get all excited because they're excited.

You know, they're not tainted.

They're games not, you know, they haven't gone through seven instructors and four caddies and, you know, got bumped from the PGA tour to the, to the web, to the Asian

tour, played through the Hooters tour.
