Tom and Pat, along with AMA organizers Bryan Akers, Mick Cullen and Kyle Cutshaw, hosted a virtual players meeting for AMA members on December 3, 2025. This episode is the audio version of that call. The players meeting covered a variety of topics, first acknowledging the overall Top 10 and then all of the regional Top 10s. There was a dive into a variety of other successes talked about during the meeting including women and juniors, consistent podium finishes, all of the AMA winners and recognizing the individuals who went overseas for the World Adventure Golf Tour Final and the World Adventure Golf Masters. Before heading to some Q&A, they turned their attention to the upcoming 2026 season and the majority of already confirmed events. Mick Cullen also announced the 2025 AMA Spirit Award to Glenda Ryning of Connecticut!
