 Golf Scorecard History 101, West Virginia
Set #9

Who were the best golfers to come out of West Virginia?  These were about the best I could come up with.
Darrell Kestner - Kestner works as a club professional but did play on the PGA Tour in 1981 and 1983. His best finish was a T-30 at the 1981 Tallahassee Open.   
John Bulla - Bulla was an American professional golfer. Born in Newell, West Virginia, Bulla played on the PGA Tour, winning the 1941 Los Angeles Open, and finished runner-up three times in the majors, including twice to Sam Snead; at the British Open in 1946 and the Masters in 1949.

Kind of surprising.  The Greenbrier Resort has gotten the most publicity as one of the top West Virginia golf courses.  However this website (https://www.top100golfcourses.com/golf-courses/north-america/usa/west-virginia) says that the The Pete Dye GC is the #1 course in the state and Pikewood National is #2.  According to them the Greenbrier is #3.  Since I haven’t played any of them I can’t argue the point.

The next item below shows just over 50 golf scorecards from the state of West Virginia.
