BACKGROUND AND FAMILY Davis III was born to Davis M. Love Jr.and Helen Penta Burgin shortly after his father contended at the 1964 Masters . He played ice hockey as a kid. As he stated, "I was a right wing, but I could skate backward, so they made me a defenseman."

He won six titles during his collegiate career, including the ACC tournament championship in 1984.

The company has been responsible for the design of several courses throughout the southeast United States. In 1997, Davis III published the book ''Every Shot I Take'', which honors his father's lessons on life and golf. The book received the 1997 United States Golf Association's International Book Award. Davis III and wife Robin have two children, Alexia, 17, and Davis IV, 12. Alexia is a nationally ranked rider of Paso Fino horses.
