Summary

The Evans Scholars Foundation has been sending caddies to college since 1930. Today's episode features three guests. First, we're joined by the president of the Western Golf Association, John Kackzowski to discuss the WGA's tie to the foundation, and background information on what it stands for and what it's accomplished. Second, Evans Scholar alum and the founder of the Solich Caddie and & Leadership Program George Solich joins to discuss his humble beginnings, obtaining a scholarship through the foundation, the success he's found after college, and how he's developed his own caddie program. And lastly, a current Evans Scholar at Kansas University, Oscar Garcia discusses his ride from never setting foot on a golf course to being the co-chair of the Evans Scholars National Committee. No Laying Up is proud to support the Evans Scholars Foundation, and hope you find this episode as inspiring as we did. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
