Orange, Texas is the easternmost city in Texas, located on the border of Louisiana. This is Texas State men’s golfer Jack Burke’s hometown.

The main activities of this small quiet Texas town include playing golf and eating at the many Mexican restaurants scattered through town.

The Burke family specifically found interest in the golf course. Jack’s father, Aaron Burke, is a teacher and coach and spent his summers off at the golf course. He would put Jack in a car seat in the golf cart so he could play with the older guys at the Sunset Grove Country Club.
