My guest on this episode is Luke Clanton. The native Floridian just might be the hottest golfer of the spring, picking up three consecutive wins at the Seminole Intercollegiate, the Valspar Collegiate, and at UVA's home tournament....the Lewis Chitengwa Memorial. Luke was one of those mega stars of junior golf that represented the United States at Junior President's Cup. He won the Azalea Am and the North and South....before he entered college. So how did he handle the expectations heading to Tallahassee as a freshman.....well, we got into that. We spoke about the family support that he has received along the way and what he has learned thus far at Florida State.

My guest on this episode is Jacob Modleski, who is finishing up an impressive freshman season at Notre Dame. He picked up a win this spring at the Johnnie-O Collegiate at Sea Island, but his big breakout was in January at the Jones Cup Invitational. Winning that tournament has opened all kinds of doors for Jacob, and I'm sure that I will be seeing quite a bit of him this summer at some of the biggest tournaments in amateur golf.
