Bryant Billehus


As a young child, Bryant Billehus couldn’t get away from the game of golf even if he tried. Both his dad, who bought him his first set of clubs and grandpa, who took him out on many weekends to many different driving ranges, influenced him at the young age of eight, to get out onto the greens to challenge himself to figure out how to master the game that few have.

Growing up around golf, Bryant watched pro golfer Tom Lehman a lot. Bryant had a few comments about one of his golf idols: “He grew up in Alexandria, MN where my family and I have a cabin. He is a very nice guy. He isn't cocky about his game at all.”

While in high school, Bryant and his family would go on a winter vacation, before the high school golf season started, to practice on different golf courses to warm up for the upcoming season. Bryant also had to go to Hawaii for a “golf” trip, “We did a little more than golf lol.” Bryant said.

Even though Bryant has been to more golf courses than some, he believes that he has had a short golfing career so far. He will just have to keep trucking along in his golf apparel consisting of polo shirts and dress pants to practice until he is out on the greens sharing a game with Tiger Woods or one of his favorites Tom Lehman.
