I will start...

I played high school golf against Dustin Johnson and Kevin Kisner. I was paired with Johnson multiple times since his HS was in the same region as mine, and I played with Kisner twice in different junior tourneys in SC.

DJ shot 30 on the back nine of my home course his senior year of HS, and he started that round with a bogey on the 10th hole. It was impressive.

Patrick Reed and Andrew Loupe...the latter is still a close friend and HS golf teammate. The former is a fricking douche nozzle.


ETA:

When I was like 12, David Toms played with me and a bunch of kids for a couple of holes at BRCC. This was back when he was very highly ranked in the world.

I beat an NCAA runner up in a 9 hole junior tourney when we were both 10.

Bobby Wyatt kicked my arse in a junior tournament. I was 18...he had just turned 12

A few years ago I played a round with a friend of a friend who had battled around the mini tours and such. Probably the best I’ve played with in recent memory. I played the tips with him at the Standard Club in ATL and he shot like 64 or 65 and I may have shot 85. It was humbling but also fun to watch.

Played a round with a guy on the Canadian tour. He shot -8 on a very long course. 7700 yards. No bogeys. No clue what his name was.

Frank Lickliter, dude was rocking those Oakleys, hitting piercing lasers right at the stick.

Olly Thomson, played with him twice, once at Grand Bear and once at TPC. Didn't shoot above 67, don't think he missed a fairway, all while throwing down a case of beer. Damn fun to play with, hope he's doing good.

Arnold Palmer in 2008 at Bay Hill

To be honest we only had a 15 minute conversation on the tee box while each of our groups tee'd off, but god dammit I'm counting it because he's Arnold Palmer and frick the rules.

He was truly one of the nicest most genuine people I ever met.

Corker Deloach, who was an All American at University of Houston. Played with him many times at the old Pinewood Country Club in Slidell. One afternoon we played the back nine twice and he shot 29 - 29.

Best that you would have heard of was Stewart Cink and Bubba Watson.

Player I felt was the best was a kid named Cullen in the Alabama state championship. he got a full ride to Auburn and I heard he couldn't break 80 and transferred out after a year but in he won our state championship shooting something like 67/68 and couldn't putt for shite. I saw the kid hit two 5 woods about 250 and stop them at the hole within 5 feet of the hole and both times missed the putt. The kid hit all 18 greens and never outside of 10 feet for two days in a row but couldn't make any putts.

I've played with a decent sized list of college golfers from LSU, Southeastern, ULL, etc. None of them made the PGA Tour, or haven't as of yet.

They were all really good at golf. The fact that most of them aren't playing golf for a living now makes you wonder how good the PGA guys are.
