  <itunes:subtitle>Our guest this week is Ryan Vermeer from Omaha, Nebraska.  Ryan is a former two-time All-American at the University of Kansas that holds the record for most career wins as a Jayhawk....even more than Gary Woodland!  He did play professionally on tour for several years, reaching the Kornferry Tour, but made the transition back to being a teaching professional in his home state of Nebraska.  The transition has led him to incredible successes in the Nebraska PGA Section.  In fact, he is the first Nebraska PGA Member to win the PGA Professional National Championship, which he did in 2018.  He has played in numerous PGA Championships and represented the PGA of America and his country in the PGA Cup.</itunes:subtitle>
