Where: The University Golf Club of Kentucky (Wildcat Course) - 4850 Leestown Road, Lexington, KY 40511
- The low 2 males and 2 females who qualify in the state tournament will represent Kentucky in the Trusted Choice Big "I" National Tournament (August 5-8, 2013 - Country Club of North Carolina Pinehurst, NC)
I was TOTALLY hanging out with the youngsters today! So much fun to see these 18 and unders compete on the golf course. We started out with a flood delay because of the crazy amount of rain Lexington received the night before. Once the players were OFF making birdies and pars, Megan and I directed the players around the flooded areas. I got to ride in the golf cart and show off the trophies. Then it started raining... again... so I decided to take a break in the car. But the players didn't stop. They continued to play despite the conditions. The first day was a little wet to say the least... but the sun was shining on Friday and the kiddos had a great second day of play.
I finally got to meet Moe Dugger, the chair of the Young Agents Committee for IIAK. He helped shuttle the players between nines and then presented the awards at the end. We became such good friends that we even shared a Sprite.
