| 23 Jan 2023 | Alexa Pano - The Prodigy Turns Pro | 00:54:51 | |
My guest on this episode is Alexa Pano. She was featured in the 2013 Netflix documentary "The Short Game" along with Amari Avery and Sky Sudberry as they competed in the 2012 U.S. Kids Golf World Championship. Yes, that was over 10 years ago. That's how long the junior and amateur golf landscape has been aware of Alexa Pano. What has she done since then? She's played in all three ANWAs. She played an event on the LPGA of Japan Tour at the age of 11. Two years later, she made her debut on the LPGA Tour. She's qualified for U.S. Women's Opens. Junior Ryder Cups, Junior Solheims Cup, 5X AJGA All-American......her junior golf resume is in a word...legendary.....
But now, it's time for Alexa to go to work. She turned professional right after last year's ANWA and after narrowly missing out on earning her card after a successful year on the Epson Tour.....she got through LPGA Tour Q-Series.....and locked up her card. Not bad for an 18 year-old that has spent the last decade in the public eye. The Back of the Range Collection at Imperial Sports COUPON CODE: BOTR15 for 15% your entire purchase!

| 07 Oct 2020 | Aman Gupta - Oklahoma State University | 01:11:45 | |
My guest on this episode is Aman Gupta from Oklahoma State University. Aman had a great run at Bandon Dunes, it all started with a 64 in the first round of the stroke play session....which on its own is beyond impressive. But considering the fact that Aman was the last man in the field, flew out to Bandon without a guaranteed spot in the all-exempt field....and only learned that he would get to tee it up a couple days before the start of the championship....well, that's next level stuff.

Ross is heading into the postseason with the Yellow Jackets looking to capture an ACC championship this weekend at the Country Club of North Carolina.
