One of the best stories in DC-area sports the last few years has been not just the resurrection, but the play of the Howard University Golf team. Leading the way on the course has been Gregory Odom Jr who has won several events since transferring into the program from Memphis, and got the opportunity to compete in the Wells Fargo Championship at TPC Potomac in 2022. While Steph Curry’s highly publicized donation got the Howard Golf Program off the ground and thrust into the national spotlight, the play by Odom and his teammates under the guidance of Coach Sam Puryear has helped them stay there.

He joins the podcast to talk about his journey from Memphis to Howard, his relationship with Coach Sam Puryear, the success he’s had on the course, and what it’s like playing with the national attention of a superstar’s commitment to the program.
