Riverside—UC Riverside's Amelia Ek '13 is joining forces with UC Irvine's Jada Patipaksiri to make up one of eight teams competing in the new Golf Channel TV reality series "Altered Course" (view home page).

From the Altered Course website "Slow play won't be an issue on this fast-paced series that features two-person teams competing on extraordinary hole layouts exceeding 700 yards—while racing against time. Which team will win the inaugural season?"

Ek and Patipaksiri have squared off against one another for the better part of a decade as high school teammates and later as Big West foes. Ek even once dated Patipaksari's older brother, much to Patipaksiri's shagrin, earning them the team name #TheFrenemies (view bio).

Be sure to view the sneak peak trailer, set your DVR for June 15 to watch the first episode, and explore the Altered Course website for other videos, photo galleries and news about the show.
