It was his “sweet stroke” that made him a household name among north Louisiana prep golfers last spring and now with a stroke of his pen, Tayt Culpepper of Weston High School made his intentions to play golf for Southwest Mississippi Community College official.

In front of WHS administration, faculty and students who joined family and friends, Culpepper signed papers on Thursday declaring his intentions to compete on the links for the school in Summit, that is located north of the McComb, MS metropolis just above the Mississippi and Louisiana border.

A regular top ten finisher on the North Louisiana Front 9 Tour circuit, Culpepper completed his junior year by finishing 15th in the LHSAA Division IV state championships.
