A Rich Golf Life: Winning the Ivy League, Mini-Tour Adventures, and Weekend Blitzes

Alex Gonzalez has never been afraid to take a chance. Whether it was grabbing a duffel bag and heading to South America to try professional golf or helping launch an early online golf retailer, Alex has a knack for following opportunities wherever they lead. Alex is Oliver's longtime friend and former Harvard golf teammate, and this week we welcome him to share stories from a life shaped by golf. He takes us back to his upbringing in Juárez, Mexico, explains how Tiger Woods and Notah Begay inadvertently changed his college plans, and recalls winning the Ivy League individual championship. We also get a look inside two very different golf cultures: Brookside Golf & Country Club in Columbus, Ohio, and Savannah Golf Club in Georgia, with its lively tradition of golf “blitzes.” And we hear about Tee Times & Tequila, Alex's latest effort to bring people together through golf.
