2005 Hall of Fame Inductee - Bud Bono

Bono was a two-time most valuable golfer for the Cowboys in the 1950s, leading the Cowboys during collegiate golf's infancy. He was a three year letterman and played on McNeese's first two Gulf States Conference championship teams.

As one of Ellis Guillory's top players, Bono led the Cowboys in the GSC tournament in 1957 with a fourth place finish, shooting rounds of 74-80-79 for a 233, and in 1958 with a runnerup finish with rounds of 73-73-70 for a 216.

Bono posted a 73.0 stroke average during the 1958 season.

After graduating from McNeese, he went on to dental school at Loyola in New Orleans and after a stint in the US Navy, ran a practice until he retired in 1994. He has since been involved in the telephone business and remains as one of the top amateur golfers in the Lake Charles area.
