    Davis Ovard - 2024 North and South Men's Amateur Champion

    Davis Ovard - 2024 North and South Men's Amateur Champion

    My guest on this episode is the new North and South Men's Amateur Champion, Davis Ovard.  This might be one of the more fascinating wins in amateur golf this year.  Davis is a rising sophomore at Baylor, so naturally we spoke about his freshman season that included a run to the National Championship.  We also spoke about his start in the game and how golf has become a "family affair" for the Ovards.  But what makes his win so interesting is the opponent he faced in the championship match, Jackson Van Paris.  Jackson is a Pinehurst native, as many of you know.....so it seemed that the storybook ending was already written well ahead of time.....except nobody bothered to tell Davis Ovard, which might explain how he came away with a 2&1 win to claim the Putter Boy trophy.

    Catie Craig - 2024 North and South Women's Amateur Champion

    My guest on this episode of The Back of the Range is the new North and South Women's Amateur Champion, Catie Craig.  In this episode, we spoke about Catie's win at Pinehurst.....but also hit upon a lot of great topics ranging from golf course architecture, what makes a good four-ball partner, and a little bit of history from her hometown of Sautee Nacoochee, Georgia.  Katie will head into her senior season at Western Kentucky in September where she will look to continue to rewrite the record books for the Hilltoppers.

    Evan Beck - 2024 Coleman Invitational Champion

    Evan Beck - 2024 Coleman Invitational Champion

    My guest on this episode of The Back of the Range is Evan Beck from Virginia Beach, Virginia.  After winning the Coleman Invitational and the George C. Thomas at LACC, he is 2/3 of the way to the Mid-Am Triple Crown...with the Crump Cup at Pine Valley still to come at the end of September.  Fair to say, Evan Beck is the best mid-amateur in the county and perhaps the world......not named Stewart Hagestad.

    Lance Ringler - Golfweek's College Golf Insider

    My guest on this episode is Lance Ringler from Golfweek.  The truth is that Lance Ringler has been covering college and amateur golf for nearly a quarter of a century.  He coached colllege golf, he still writes, he knows rankings inside and out, he will forget more about college golf than I will ever know.  Jack of all trades.  That's what I should have used.....College Golf's JAck of all Trades.  Oh well, maybe I'll use that for the next episode with Lance.  We just scratched the surface in this one....we spoke about PGA Tour U, Rankings, College Golf, the TWO tournaments that he runs....the National Golf Invitational and the Hoosier Amateur.
