Why is Shreveport the only city in Louisiana turning out great golfers?
Posted by OleSkuleTgr on 5/2/21 at 8:31 pm117
Hall Sutton, David Toms and now Sam Burns. Has there been any PGA Tour winners who were born and raised in south Louisiana in the last 50 years? Seems like with instructors like Rob Noel and others there would be better representation from south LA.

Do we count Patrick Reed as one of ours?

I think he was born in Texas, but I guess he did play a lot of junior golf while living in BR.

Because there’s a million fricking courses around here. Damn near every town it seems like has one in the area. And, like in most other things, north Louisiana just puts out a superior product than south Louisiana.

Mike Heinen won a tournament in the mid-90s. Was also a runner up. He was from a small town in SWLA. Fenton or Welsh.

I had heard of Jay. His last win was in 1961. I had never heard of Lionel but evidently his last win was in 1966.

Do you happen to know the home courses of Sutton, Toms and Burns? Is there anything linking the 3 of them?

I think he won the Louisiana Amateur at least once.

Sutton played out of Shreveport Country Club, which no longer exists.
David Toms grew up in Bossier.
Sam Burns grew up playing Southern Trace.

Barbaree on the LSU golf team is also from Shreveport and grew up playing at Southern Trace. He could potentially turn out as a decent pro as well.
