Scrambling with Dylan Otto Dylan Otto

This week's episode of Scrambling with Dylan Otto is a final update on my journey in summer golf and how tournaments have been going. I played in the 2023 NCGA Am at Spyglass Hill which was a ton of fun and talk about each round. I'll take you through my though process with each round as well as what the game of golf has done for me in my life. I love being fully transparent with the listeners and hope you enjoy the show!

This week's episode of Scrambling with Dylan Otto features University of Oregon golfer Nate Stember. Born in Portland, Oregon and playing for the Oregon Ducks... Nate Stember is the hometown kid. Nate got into the game from the help of his grandpa and father at the age of 3 years old which is the definition of starting them young. He played most of his competitive golf in the summers and found success in many events. When to came time to the recruiting process, he was getting looked at by mainly west coast D1 schools. His decision was between Oregon State and University of Oregon and funny story is that he grew up a Beaver fan, but he had to put his past to the side. Over the last 4 years at U of O, Nate says his ball striking and mental side of the game are what developed tremendously due to the coach Casey Martin. Nate is heading into his last year of college golf which he feels a bit more pressure on this year, but is looking to enjoy every shot of it and find some success.  Enjoy the show!

This week's episode of Scrambling with Dylan Otto features Univeristy of North Carolina Golfer Austin Greaser. Golf was something that Austin fell in love very easily with the help of his father who found the love of the game later on in life. Greaser was always known as the smaller guy who didn't hit very far, but that didn't stop him from playing in competitive junior events and giving it all he had. When it came time to his high school years, he grew into the body he's currently in and that's bigger and stronger Austin Greaser. When it came to the recruiting process he would market himself to college coaches as not having the spectacular resume like other players did, but that one day he'll be the best golfer in the nation. At first UNC told Greaser that they were full and didn't have any spots open, but after some coaching changes and them realizing his talents... he committed to Tar Heal Nation. He's done a lot for himself both in college golf and amateur golf by finishing finishing runner-up in the 2021 U.S. Am and playing in both the 2022 Masters and 2022 U.S. Open. Austin is currently going into his 5th years at UNC and is looking to finish his college career on a strong note with his boys. Enjoy the show!

This week's episode of Scrambling with Dylan Otto features University of Oregon Women's Assistant Coach Krissy Carman. You've probably seen this name a lot because she's a legend in the state of Oregon and amateur golf world. Krissy grew up in Canby, Oregon where she played most of her junior golf and went onto play at both Oregon State University and Portland University. As her years playing college golf were coming to an end, she made the decision to not pursue golf and get things going in life. However, that never stopped her from playing in high level amateur events! Her biggest victory thus far was winning the 2022 U.S. Women's Mid-Am which got her an exception into the 2023 U.S. Women's Open at Pebble Beach which was a week you couldn't have drawn up better she said. Not only is golf a focus point in her life, but so is her family as they share the same love of the golf between her husband and son Conrad. Carman will be heading into her 1st season as the assistant coach for the Ducks and is looking forward to getting the ball rolling with the team. Enjoy the show!

This week's episode of Scrambling with Dylan Otto is an update on my journey in summer golf and how tournaments have been going. The game is in a really good spot right now off the tee, from the fairway, and around the greens. I touch on positives and negatives from each round as well as the matches my Dad and I have been playing in at Kings River Country Club in the Summer Matchplay. The college golf season is just around the corner and I touch on what I'm looking forward to the most. Enjoy the show!

This week's episode of Scrambling with Dylan Otto features Auburn University golfer Jackson Koivun. What a career this young man has had from winning AJGA events, playing in the Junior President's Cup, and much more... and he hasn't even started college golf yet. Jackson got started really early on with the game with the help of his family, he started playing competitive golf at the age 6 and never looked back. He first started out playing in U.S. Kids tournaments and eventually traveled to Missouri where he won his first AJGA event. That was only the beginning of all the accolades he'd receive from his junior/start of his amateur career. Jackson was also the #1 ranked junior in his class and we talk about what that meant to him as well as how that affected his recruiting process. Most would think that being the #1 ranked junior that his recruiting process was huge and glorious... however Jackson says differently. Koivun is currently enrolled in summer school at Auburn University and is looking to get things rolling this coming semester. Enjoy the show!
