Colt, a former U.S. Amateur champion and PGA Tour player, recently applied to be reinstated as an amateur by the USGA and has been documenting the process on his podcast and social media. Andy and Colt discuss the intricacies of this hot-button issue, including whether former professionals should not be allowed to play in the U.S. Amateur, even if they're reinstated.
