2018 Nebraska Amateur Golfer of the Year | Alex Schaake

The Nebraska Golf Association is proud to announce the selection of Omaha’s Alex Schaake as the 2018 Nebraska Amateur Golfer of the Year. Schaake is the 51st recipient of this award, which was introduced 50 years ago in 1968, when Lincoln’s R.B. Lau won the inaugural award. It is the fifth straight postseason recognition for Schaake, who is the fifth player to win this award in back-to-back years, joining St. Paul’s Dan Bahensky (1971-1972), Lincoln’s Steve Statton (1979-1980), Elkhorn’s Ryan Nietfeldt (2002-2003) and Gibbon’s Rylee Reinertson (2015-2016). Prior to winning the award in 2017, Schaake had won three straight Nebraska Junior Amateur Golfer of the Year awards from 2014-2016. He also joins Reinertson and Andy Sajevic, now of Omaha, as the only players to win both awards at least twice. Link here fore more: http://nebgolf.org/about_awards_golfe...
