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

Steve Flesch currently lives in Boone County. Not sure where he's originally from either, though.

Darren Feldhaus, Mark Blakefield, anyone from Mason Co. to help me out on the next one...?

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.

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

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.
