Figured this would be a fun thread. Who would be the top foursome put together with players from your home state?

I live in RI, the smallest state but we've got a few decent guys. Beat these flatsticks, lol.

Brad Faxon
Billy Andrade
Brett Quigley
Dana Quigley

Alternate - Patrick Sheehan

i'd say from hawaii the top four are:

dean wilson
michelle wie
tadd fujikawa
casey watabu

alternates:
parker mclachlin
kimberly kim

Not a whole lot to choose from here in Illinois:

Todd Hamilton
DA Weibring
Mike Small
Jay Haas

Sort of thin from my state of Arkansas right now....as if its ever been that strong.

John Daly
Ken Duke (Last year's Nationwide money leader and currently #22 on PGA)
Glen Day
Bryce Moulder

Tiger was hear a couple of years ago for an exhibition. Can we claim him?

From Wisconsin my foursome would be:

1. Andy North
2. Steve Stricker
3. Jerry Kelly
4. Mark Wilson

Alternates: J.P. Hayes and Skip Kendall

Hey, my team looks pretty good. They are as follows:

1. David Toms - born in my hometown of Monroe, currently resides in Shreveport, LA
2. Hal Sutton - born in Shreveport and currently resides there
3. Miller Barber - born in Shreveport
4. Gary Koch - born in Baton Rouge or Heath Slocum, who was born in Baton Rouge

Good Ole Ohio

2. John Cook
3. Tom Weiskopf
4. Joey Sindelar

All time:

And those are just from my/living in my county.

Native Texans:

Ben Hogan
Byron Nelson
Ben Crenshaw
Lee Trevino
Jimmy Demaret
Tom Kite

I would doubt any state has any more golf history than Texas, but this makes for an interesting discussion. I figure that between Hogan, Nelson, and Penick no other state has had more influence on the game of golf than Texas.

With Hogan, Nelson, and famed writer Dan Jenkins all having grown up in Fort Worth, I don't know of another town that has had more influence on golf. Add that it's home to the only course in the nation that has hosted a US Open, a women's US Open, a Players Championship, and a regular PGA stop with one of the better Wall of Champions and the argument get's even better.

Okay, enough of the chamber of commerce speach.

Kentucky:

Gay Brewer
Kenny Perry
Steve Flesch
J.B. Holmes

I will tell ya what. I am from Pensacola, and I will just use my 2 surrounding counties Escambia, and Santa Rosa.

Thanks. I went for some of the lessor talked about PA players. I have been trying to get a list for DE, but so far all I have is Ed "Porky" Oliver.

You could stretch it to include Luke Donald as well then.

For my new home state of Texas I'll stick with Double Rods list.
