Bob Byman was first introduced to golf, by his father, at the age of 8. He started competing that year in the Mid Hudson Junior Golf Program in upstate New York. He won his first tournament soon thereafter and was hooked. Golf became his favorite sport. At 16, he won his first of 3 consecutive Colorado State Amateur Championships. At 17, he won the USGA Junior Championship and qualified for the US Open beating Nicklaus’ record for the youngest ever to qualify by 3 months. In 1972 Bob won 80% of the tournaments he entered.

At the 1972 US Open at Pebble Beach, he played with Arnold Palmer and Julius Boros in a practice round. After the round, Palmer strongly encouraged him to consider Wake Forest University as the college that he should attend. Bob took his advice. He received the prestigious Buddy Worsham Scholarship in 1973. Under the tutelage and mentoring of the legendary coach Jesse Haddock, the team won 2 NCAA team titles.
