Pretty close but I'd argue Crenshaw over Casper cinches it. Of course I'm biased but not even playing the Babe Zaharias, Harvey Penick et al card

Some combo of any or all:

Ping G400 LST 10* w/ Px Evenflow Blue 75 6.0
Rogue SZ 15* w/ Px Evenflow Blue 75 6.0
Cally 416 19* Hybrid w/ Diamana S+ 82g Stiff
4-PW: Callaway (OG) Apex w/ KBS PGI 80g / Bridgestone J40 Combo 4-P w/ Steelfiber i95 Stiff
52*, 56* Vokey SM5's

60* Wilson Staff
Ping Ti Anser Wrx

Why Crenshaw over Casper? Casper had 51 Tour wins and 3 majors. Crenshaw with 19 and 2.

Kansas.

 

Tom Watson. Born in Missouri, but played golf at Kansas City CC, which is on the Kansas side of state line. Lives on Overland Park Kansas. Yes this one is Debatable but he is in the Kansas golf HOF.

Gary Woodland

Matt Gogel

Jug McSpadden

Jim Colbert went to KState, born in NJ. Colbert Hills in Manhattan is his design, I have seen him hanging out there playing golf. Has strong ties with KState.

Grier Jones. PGA rookie of the year. Solid player back in the 70’s.

 

 

 

Ping G400 Testing G410.  10.5 set at small -
Ping G410 3, 5 and 7 wood

Ping G410 5 hybrid-not much use.

Nicklaus and Weiskopf are obvious, but I would argue that there are better choices for the other spots. Pete Dye is from Urbana, and Bill Powell, the first African-American to build and own a golf course, is from Canton. I'd argue they should be on there before Harbert and Shute. I had to google Harbert, and I only knew who Shute was because he was my club's first pro.

Ping G410 9*
Tour Edge EXS 3w, 5w
Ping i210 4-U
Ping Glide Stealth 54, 60
Ping Anser 85029 Dalehead
Srixon Z-Star or Q-Star tour depending on conditions

Being from Utah...

Tony Finau

Bruce Summerhays

Daniel Summerhays

Bob Betley

Many affiliates via college and such like Johnny Miller, Mike Weir but home grown the list is kinda small with true tour success.

The club pro list is very strong here though and the success they’ve had nationally in the PGA events.

Cobra Aero LS 9 Fuji Evo IV 569 X

Honma TR21 15* VIZARD FP7 Stiff

Honma TR21 HY 18* VIZARD UT 7

Honma TR21 HY 21* VIZARD UT 8

Honma TR21X 5-11 VIZARD IBWF 100

HighToe MG3 54* VIZARD IB 120

HighToe MG3 58*/13 VIZARD IB 120

Mart West. He's a life long Am but the guy was rediculous....

But you are correct. MD isn't known for it's super star golfers.... Thankfully we have some super star courses!!

How to play golf.
Hit the ball.

Repeat until the ball is in the hole.
Have fun.

LOL, like I said golfers don’t deserve chiseling and Zach would be way more deserving than Fleck, heck amateur legend in his own time Eugene Elliott more deserving than Fleck!

 

Love Hayden but Kinnick only on a Mount Rushmore type monument.

Ohhh! I guess Wright should bump Miller. My goodness! Miller and Venturi on the bench!

Billy Casper all day every day over Ben. Casper is the most over looked under appreciated great player ever. Full stop.

By that measure Kathy Whitworth blows away both Casper & Crenshaw; 88 tour wins most of PGA or LPGA. Still love Ben though... Hook 'em Horns!

Hayden is not from Iowa, but Texas I believe. Also Kirk Ferentz has a better record than Hayden now.
