HighFade Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 My wife's nephew (or 2nd cousin, or something) made the cut at Bay Hill, and finished with a very respectable +2 for the week. His name is Zachary Olsen, and he's a 19 year old freshman attending Oklahoma State. He got in on a sponsor's exemption for winning an amateur championship last year. He beat over 50 pros. Imagine how good he'll be in 3 more years! There is no spoon.

revkev Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 At 19 I was under the delusion that I would be a symphonic trumpet player. I was playing on my college baseball team, only played golf occasionally and in fact when I did used my starter set of odd numbered kroydons. It was after mono cost me the next baseball season that I switched to playing golf. When I started breaking 80 withe the kroydons I bought a full set of Ram tour grinds with these beautiful Tommy Armor Persimmon woods. What a great accomplishment for that young man.

RookieBlue7 Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 He's out there at Norman with Stratton Nolen, another very good young amateur. Sounds like there are two guys to really push each other there. Good luck to your nephew. At 19, I was beginning to regret turning down the golf scholarship I had offered because I wasn't interested in higher education and wanted to stay home to be nearer my sick grandmother.
