[TaylorMadeBoy]

Who are the three best golfers from your county ever?

 

I wasn't sure where to put htis so I just put it under general discussion.

[The Professor]

From Owsley County:

 

Eric Mason - Finished in the top 5 at the KHSAA State tournament 3 times, 4th in 1994, 3rd in 1995, and 2nd in 1996. 4 time High School All State member. Played in the state tournament as an individual qualifier 5 times, the first time as a 7th grader. Kentucky State Am champion in 2000 and 2001. All Sun Belt Conference 4 times when he played for Western Kentucky University.

 

Randy Osborne - Qualified for the KHSAA State Tournament in 1996. Member of the Morehead State University golf team.

 

Ronnie Barrett - Didn't learn to play golf until he finished college in 1977, but won numerous club invitational tournaments in our area (Eastern Kentucky) in the mid 1980s. Won the Beattyville Country Club Invitational in 1984, 1985, and 1987.

 

Also, Eric Mason's dad, Gary, was a very good golfer in the 1970s and 1980s.

People no where near the top in Kenton County that should likely not be allowed to play on a real golf course but really wish they were good: Sportsfan41

Michael Shumaker was (still is) pretty tough. Shawn White, Ben Hensley, and Josh Weber are some others.

Volpenhein is one of the best I've ever seen. He used to play in the Men's Invitational in Cynthiana when I was younger and he was amazing.

Eric Shoemaker

Eric Shoemaker

 

That's who I meant, not Michael. He played for Morehead St. from about 1992-95 I believe.

[Farva]

Grover Justice from Pike County is a pretty good one. He played at UK in the early to mid 90s, and then played on the PGA Tour for a little while if I'm not mistaken.

I was at UK when he was and all the girls had a crush on him as well. I never saw him but I heard the name and remarks about his good looks all the time. Has to be the same guy.
