62: Ray Billows-Golf

August 06, 2019

Ray Billows is the only man in the history of golf to lose in the finals of the U.S. Amateur three times. But just to get to the finals, even once, is a huge accomplishment. Billows was one of the game’s most dominant amateurs during the 1930s and 1940s when amateur golf was nigger than professional golf. Tom Buggy, who wrote the book, “Ray Billows, The Cinderella Kid,” joins the podcast to talk about the career of Ray Billows.
