]]> Matt Kuchar was born in Winter Park, Florida, to a Ukrainian family.  He went on to graduate from Seminole High School in Sanford in 1996. Later he attended Georgia Tech in Atlanta, where he was a two-time first-team All-American on the Yellow Jackets’ golf team.  Kuchar won the U.S. Amateur title in 1997 at Cog Hill in Chicago. He received the Haskins Award in 1998 as the nation’s top collegiate golfer, and was the low amateur at both The Masters and U.S. Open.  He was a member of the United States Walker Cup Team and earned his bachelor’s degree in management. After considering staying a career am like another Georgia Tech grad, Bobby Jones, he turned pro in 2000.

]]> Silver Club Golfing Society’s list of the top 50 Amateur Golfers of All Time (#50AMGOAT) is here in all its glory. While we had to make many tough choices and many great players didn’t make the cut, It was fun to dive into the history books to arrive at a comprehensive list. A couple of ground rules: while there is a special place for those like Bobby Jones who stayed career amateurs, this constraint would leave too many incredible golfers who either mastered or dabbled in professional golf like Phil Mickelson or Jay Sigel. Second, we had to weigh different eras and accomplishments. So we erred on the side of inclusivity. We didn’t bother with a point system or purely objective way of ordering these players. Instead, we sat around over a couple drinks and talked it out – we had a blast coming up with the list and we hope that you enjoy it as well. Without further ado…
