This is a Pod for the Course, and I'm Tom Cade, the Senior Director of Communications for Washington Golf, and today we have with us, Mike Zinga. Mike is the director of sales and sponsorship relations for the Charles Schwab Challenge. The PGA Tour event is happening this week at Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth, Texas. Mike, thanks so much for taking a few minutes this morning, on the first day of the tournament. Mike Zinga: Good morning, Tom. Thank you. Appreciate it. I look forward to spending some time with you today. Tom Cade: Yeah. Mike, it's been a bit of a journey. I have known you personally for 10 years or so. You were the tournament director for the U.S. Senior Open, which was held at the Sahalee Country Club in Sammamish, Washington, 2010. Long time ago. Mike Zinga: Yeah, but I spent almost three years there, if you recall. I moved there in the fall of '07. Tom Cade: That's right. Mike Zinga: And loved it. My family loved it. Tom Cade: Yeah. So was that the first tournament that you were really that heavily involved in to that degree, Mike? I can't remember. Mike Zinga: No, Tom. I'd graduated from a master's program in Florida, in the mid 90s, believe it or not, and worked with the Champions Tour event in Key Biscayne, Florida, called the Royal Caribbean Classic, which led me to Doral.

Cathy Kim: It's been a little over two years since I've relocated. I actually moved from the Pacific Northwest to Las Vegas, and then from Las Vegas to Virginia.

I moved to the Bellevue area when I was a sophomore in high school. I was in the Bay area in California prior to that. Tom Cade: How did you get into the game of golf?
