Jacob Goode joins us to talk about his unconventional climb to elite amateur golf — from not being recruited out of high school and arriving at the University of Washington without a spot on the golf team, to winning the California State Amateur and playing the U.S. Amateur at his home club, Olympic. We discuss his determination to prove he belonged, the coaches who helped accelerate his improvement, the mental side of competing at a high level, and the idea that now defines his approach: instead of worrying about his ceiling, he wants to keep raising his floor.


Plus, Jacob shares what comes next as he weighs another season of college golf against the path toward turning professional.
