BOONE, N.C. – Head coach
Bo Redman of the Appalachian State men's golf team on Thursday announced the signing of two prep golfers for the 2019-20 season in Addison Beam and Nick Sawyer.
Beam will continue his golf career in-state following his graduation from the Highland School of Technology in Gastonia, N.C. An all-conference performer as a junior, he is coming off an individual title in the 2018 1A State Championship. Outside of golf, Beam earned the rank of
Eagle Scout last spring.
"We are very excited about having Addison play for us for the next four years," Redman said. "Not only is he one of the best golfers in the state of North Carolina, he is one of the best young men. We are looking for him to come in and have an immediate impact on the team."
Sawyer, who hails from Centre, Ala., earned six letters in golf at Cedar Bluff High School where he has been on the team since seventh grade.
This past season, he consistently posted scores in the low 70s during tournament play and won the 2018 1A-2A sub-state title and 2018 Alabama Junior Open Championship. He also boasts 37 other wins during his tenure, which helped him earn MVP honors of his team. Sawyer is the first person in the history of Cherokee County, Alabama, to earn a Division I golf scholarship.
"Nick is exactly the type of young man that we are looking for to play golf at Appalachian State University," Redman said. "I expect him to build on the successes that he has had as a junior golfer and am excited to be able to watch his game at the next level. His potential is unlimited."
