Sam Hall
A product of Hattiesburg, Mississippi, Hall did two stints as head men’s golf coach at Southern Miss (1969-1970, 1990-2000), and also led the women’s program during the 1990s. Hall, who died Dec. 15 at the age of 86, was a four-year letterwinner for the Golden Eagles from 1955-58 and compiled hundreds of wins in an amateur-golf career that spanned five decades. His name lives on in the Golden Eagles’ annual Sam Hall Intercollegiate, played at Hattiesburg Country Club.
