Part 1 of a two part episode with top amateur golfer and Desert Blume member Ryan Werre.  In part 1 Ryan will walk us through his desire to become a top junior and pursue a division 1 golf scholarship.  Listen along as he continues to reach for the next level, until it is out of reach.

Ryan is a former NCAA standout at University of Texas San Antonio.  Now back in Medicine Hat, he and his wife Sarah have a young son and Ryan works as a Real Estate agent.

It’s clear that competition drives Ryan’s passion and he continues to compete at a high level here in Alberta and in Canada, having represented Team Alberta at the Canadian mid-Amateur championships. 

Part 1 sets the stage for Ryan’s transition back to amateur golf and the highs and lows experienced there.  Be sure to listen to both episodes!
