Exciting Showdown in Brusly: Meet the Golf Stars Ahead of the Metro Boys Golf Tournament!

Gather around, golf fans! This Tuesday at 11 a.m., the Santa Maria golf course will become the stage for a thrilling one-day showdown as 15 schools come together for the highly anticipated Metro Boys Golf tournament. Leading the charge are two senior sensations: Mason Comeaux from Brusly and David Marsh from Catholic High, both of whom are ready to make their mark before they head off to college golf programs!

Mason Comeaux: The Rising Star from Brusly

Mason Comeaux has been a force on the golf scene ever since he stepped into the world of tournament play in eighth grade. Initially, he had some challenges, but through heaps of determination and countless hours of practice, Mason has honed his skills remarkably. His current average is an impressive 34.43 strokes, just slightly behind Marsh. With his father, Jory Comeaux, as the Brusly golf coach and a former player at Louisiana Tech, it’s no surprise Mason has the support and genes to succeed on the greens. He’s already signed with UL-Monroe, following in the footsteps of his sisters who also played college golf.

David Marsh: The Competitor from Catholic High

David Marsh is a name many golf enthusiasts have come to know. He started his sports journey playing T-ball and baseball, but it was his switch to golf before eighth grade that would set him on a shining path. With a stunning average of 34.29 strokes, he leads the pack as they gear up for the tournament. Marsh is not just a talented golfer; he’s also signed with Southeastern Louisiana University, and he has a brother who plays baseball at Loyola. Throughout the season, Marsh has demonstrated his skills, particularly excelling in his short game, focusing on putting and chipping to improve his scoring.

The Friendly Rivalry and Path to Success

This tournament is a bittersweet moment for both Comeaux and Marsh, as it marks the final time they’ll compete against each other as high school players. Their paths first crossed when they were just 12 years old at summer tournaments. The duo understands all too well the crucial role that short game skills play in golf. Mason strongly believes that the mental aspect of the game outweighs the physical, asserting that golf is 80% mental and 20% physical. He touts confidence in the short game as a major factor in achieving success. Meanwhile, Marsh has dedicated time to enhance his putting and wedge game, which has certainly helped elevate his overall performance throughout the season.

A Look Back at Their Season Highlights

Reflecting on their impressive seasons, Comeaux wrapped up the regular competition averaging 70½ strokes and earned the title of Outstanding Player for area schools in Divisions I and II. Meanwhile, Marsh tied for first place at last year’s Metro tournament, narrowly losing in a playoff, showcasing the exciting level of competition these two golfers bring.

Additionally, Mason tied for sixth at the LHSAA’s state tournament, finishing with a total score of 148 and a strong last round of 73. Not to be outdone, Parkview Baptist’s Elliott Aucoin also made waves this season, earning the Outstanding Player title for Divisions III and IV and tying for first at the Metro tournament before facing a tough playoff battle as well.

The Stakes Are High

With Catholic High claiming both the metro and regional titles, there’s a lot on the line during the Metro Boys Golf tournament. As both Comeaux and Marsh prepare for this exciting event, their dedication to the game shines through. Comeaux has spent significant hours perfecting his chips and putts, and his confidence has soared as a result, enhancing his chances of outshining his competitors.

The tournament promises to be a nail-biting experience as these talented young golfers gear up for what could be one of the biggest days of their high school careers. Whether you’re supporting the Bears or rooting for Catholic High, one thing’s for sure: it’s going to be a day full of golf drama, competitive spirit, and perhaps, unforgettable moments as these young talents make their final swings as high school competitors!
