My guest on this episode is Ross Steelman from Georgia Tech University. 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. Steelman is a Columbia, MO native and arrived at Georgia Tech after a successful run at Mizzou. We spoke shortly after the Linger Longer Invitational last month and we discussed his start in the game, how he approaches staying in the moment during tournaments.....and what waits for him after college. This is a highly entertaining episode. Not gonna lie, we had a bunch of fun and considering the fact that I am a Kansas guy and he is a Missouri guy......this really could have gone sideways fast.

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.

Neal captured the West Penn Open and the Penn State Am titles this summer and we spoke a lot about his start in the game and also the transfer process that led him to the Buckeyes. I know that the transfer portal is a hot topic in collegiate athletics.....so thought that Neal would be the perfect person to break it all down for everyone here at The Back of the Range.
