Phillip Frazier of Baton Rouge was elected to serve as President of the Louisiana Golf Association (LGA) at its Annual and Board of Directors meeting on Saturday at Le Triomphe Golf & Country Club. Frazier will serve a two-year term leading the LGA Executive Committee and the Board of nineteen other volunteers that provide strategic direction and oversight to the Association’s full-time staff.
Frazier has served on the LGA Board of Directors since 2021 and was Vice-President the previous two years. He officially took the reins from outgoing LGA President Mary Capouch following the adjournment of Saturday’s meeting. “I am thankful for the opportunity to help grow golf in Louisiana and look forward to working with the LGA staff, Board of Directors, and all of our members to ensure a vibrant future for the game in our state,” said Frazier.
A decorated amateur golfer, Frazier played collegiate golf at the University of South Carolina and graduated in 1998. His Gamecocks team was coached by Hall of Famer Puggy Blackmon. Frazier served two terms on the Board of Governors at Palmetto Golf Club prior to moving to Louisiana. He has been employed in the medical sales industry since 2001. Frazier resides with his wife and three children in Baton Rouge and is a member of Santa Maria Golf Club.
“We are thrilled to have Phillip as our President,” said LGA Executive Director Logan Ray. “His leadership and desire to leave the game better than he found it will serve us well.”
Frazier is joined on the LGA Executive Committee by newly elected Vice President Jonathan Jeter of New Orleans, representing TPC Louisiana, and Secretary/Treasurer Randy Ponthie of Alexandria, representing OakWing Golf Club.
