CLEARWATER, Fla. — Feather Sound Country Club in Clearwater is all decked out this week to host 84 of the world's top golfers from 24 countries for the ARAMCO Team Series.

"It’s just fun, laid back, bring the kids out, bring the family out," pro golfer Brittany Lincicome said. "We don’t care if they make noise. It’s totally fine. We're just trying to grow the game, get more young girls, especially girls, involved with the game of golf, and I think it’s just gonna be great for fans to come out and see us up close and personal and see what we do."

Lincicome, out of Seminole, and Florida native Lexi Thompson are just two of the headliners for this unique team event that features three pros each on 28 teams paired with an amateur competing for prize money over two days.

"It’s nice also to give an amateur an inside look at all our prep work on the course and how focused we are," Thompson said. "And for the most part, they’re usually very understanding. They don’t get in our way, but they just love being out there with us — in the heat of the moment."

For Lincicome, it's also a chance to play golf right in her backyard, having played Feather Sound since she was 9 years old. She's happy to have an event so close to home.

"Anytime you get to have a home-cooked meal, there’s nothing better," she said. "So even if you rent a house, you're cooking, but it’s just not the same feel. So to be in my own bed, to be home with my girls and drive 30-minutes over here, it’s going to be brilliant, I love it!

The Tampa area is the first of five tour stops for the series this year and the only one to be played on American soil. It also offers a nice break from the regular weekly tour format for the pros.

"We play stroke play basically all year, so to change it up a little bit and have somebody else to help me when I maybe have a bad hole, it’s going to be awesome," Lincicome said. "And we have that amateur who can help us, too, so I bet they are going to be super nervous, but hopefully, they can come thru with one or two shots, and that would be great."

This unique three-day team event actually becomes a solo event on Sunday in the final round when just the pros will take to the course out here at Feather Sound, with the winner getting a nice purse.
