BORN September 7, 1923 to parents Marguerite and Johnny Suggs in Atlanta, Georgia, Louise Suggs grew up to become the best female golfer in the world. Inducted into The World Golf Hall of Fame, The LPGA Tour Golf Hall of Fame, The Women's Sports Hall of Fame, The Georgia Golf Hall of Fame, The Georgia Sports Hall of Fame, she won 11 major championships and more than 55 professional tournaments. Her victories could have been even more if many of the tournaments had not been cancelled during World War II.

From the age of 10 in her hometown of Lithia Springs, Miss Louise has played golf, learning and playing the game with her father. Many days, playing in the late afternoons when the course was ready to close, Louise and her father would take one club each and play until dark.

When her father, Johnny, came to Sunset Hills in 1948, Miss Louise had traveled extensively, winning many amateur titles and representing her country. She would continue her golfing career as a professional, signing with MacGregor that year.She helped her father set up the ladies' professional tournaments at Sunset Hills, inviting a few of her friends to play. Babe Zaharias, Betsy Rawls, Patty Berg, Betty Jameson, and other touring golfers came to town, making the Carrollton Open a regular stop from 1950 through 1955. There was no tournament in 1953. Louise would win 2 of those tournaments and finish second in 2 of them. In 1951 on the last day of the tournament, Babe Zaharias had a one shot lead over Louise coming to the last hole. They were playing together. After their tee shots, from 200 yards away, Louise hit her deadly accurate 4 wood. The ball honed in and struck the flagstick, stopping within inches of the hole. Louise won the tournament by one stroke.
