Our guest on this episode of The Back of the Range is the new U.S. Women's Amateur Champion, Megha Ganne.
It is always a fun conversation when I get a chance to visit with Megha. It almost always goes in a multitude of directions. Sometimes it is serious, sometimes it is not. But in between the laughs and the inside jokes, she was able to share some insight on her career at Stanford.....navigating the NIL Space, and what lies ahead when she eventually makes the jump to professional golf.
