--- title: Why I Chose to be a Srixon Golf Ambassador description: Srixon Golf provided the opportunity for 30 students and young adults to become brand ambassadors in 2016. Here's why Ryan Walker said yes. image: https://blog.nextgengolf.org/hubfs/virginia_tech_nccga_team_photo-902837-edited.jpg --- [![nextgengolf-white-logo.png](https://nextgengolf.org/wp-content/themes/theme46788/images/nextgengolf-white-logo.png "nextgengolf-white-logo.png")](https://nextgengolf.org/) - [NCCGA](https://nextgengolf.org/college-golf/nccga/) - [City Tour](http://nextgengolf.org/city-tour) - [Blog](https://blog.nextgengolf.org/) - [About](https://nextgengolf.org/about-us/) - [About Us](https://nextgengolf.org/about-us/) - [Press](https://nextgengolf.org/press/) - [Golf Jobs](https://nextgengolf.org/job-board/) - Resources - [Golf Equipment Deals](https://nextgengolf.org/golf-equipment-deals-nextgengolf-members/) - [Find Golf Discounts](https://nextgengolf.org/best-golf-discounts-in-each-state/) - [Indoor Golf Facilities](https://nextgengolf.org/app/find-indoor-golf-facilities) # Adapting to a new generation of golfers Subscribe NCCGA City Tour Industry Subscribe Enter a valid email address - [College Golf](https://blog.nextgengolf.org/college-golf) - [Golf Help](https://blog.nextgengolf.org/golf-help) - [Golf Industry](https://blog.nextgengolf.org/golf-industry) - [All Topics](https://blog.nextgengolf.org/topics) - [New Posts](https://blog.nextgengolf.org) - [College Golf](https://blog.nextgengolf.org/college-golf) - [Golf Help](https://blog.nextgengolf.org/golf-help) - [Golf Industry](https://blog.nextgengolf.org/golf-industry) # [Why I Chose to be a Srixon Golf Ambassador](https://blog.nextgengolf.org/golf-industry/why-i-chose-to-be-a-srixon-golf-ambassador) By [Ryan Walker](https://blog.nextgengolf.org/golf-industry/author/ryan-walker) [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryan-walker-6a3541a2) [Twitter](http://www.twitter.com/rwalk24) - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [![Why I Chose to be a Srixon Golf Ambassador](https://blog.nextgengolf.org/hubfs/virginia_tech_nccga_team_photo-902837-edited.jpg)](https://blog.nextgengolf.org/golf-industry/why-i-chose-to-be-a-srixon-golf-ambassador) Coming out of high school, I could guarantee I was a lot like many other junior golfers, an above average high school player who just did not have that edge to play at the Division 1 level. I still wanted to be competitive with golf though, as well as go to a large school. Flash forward 2 years and I am a sophomore at Virginia Tech, NCCGA Regional Ambassador, Vice President of the Club Golf team, but more importantly a Srixon Golf Ambassador. Over this past winter, I paid the [Nextgengolf](http://www.nextgengolf.org) team a visit at their office in Boston. After talking through logistical items for a while, they hit me with the idea that they were discussing having Regional Ambassador’s become ambassadors for [Srixon Golf](http://www.srixon.com) and Cleveland. I jumped on this opportunity, mostly because I needed a new golf bag.

The clubs finally came in. When I struck that first tight draw 6-iron, it gave me a similar feeling that I got when Malcolm Butler intercepted Russell Wilson at the 1-yard line to win the Super Bowl ***(editor's note: Ryan Walker is a Massachusetts native and Patriots fan)***. I knew that these clubs were for me. One part of my game that I struggled with was my ability to hit a 3-wood or hybrid consistently. I got these clubs and I am now very confident standing on the tee that if I need to get in the fairway, this 3-wood will do that job without fail. These Srixon golf clubs paired with the Srixon ball, have made my switch to better a lot easier, and more importantly, fun. Do you want to become an Ambassador for Srixon/Cleveland Golf?
