Summary
He works 60+ hours a week at Boston Consulting Group. He's ranked #16 among mid-amateur golfers in the entire country. Will Davenport is proof that structured, intentional practice beats volume every time. In this episode, Will walks through exactly how he structures his limited practice time into three buckets, why he switched to a broomstick putter (and the one missed putt that forced the decision), the story of how he went from losing his match at the U.S. Mid-Amateur to caddying at the Masters, and why he thinks every golfer needs to play faster. Will is a member at Pine Tree Golf Club, a Yale grad with a molecular biology degree, a Wharton MBA, and one of the most decorated mid-amateur competitors in the country. His competitive resume includes a U.S. Amateur Four-Ball semifinal, a U.S. Mid-Amateur quarterfinal, and the 2024 FSGA Player of the Year award.
