The third Kentucky Regional tournament was held September 22-23, 2013 in Lexington, KY at the Golf Club of the Bluegrass. It is a very blind golf friendly course. The weather was terrific with plenty of sun both days and pleasant temperatures. The golfers were treated to daily lunches on the course from Chic-fil-a. Many thanks go to Paul Weise for his hard work and hospitality.
Eighteen blind golfer/coach teams gathered to participate. There were nine B1 blind golfers and nine vision-impaired from the B2 and B3 categories. Competition was played using the modified Stableford system we have come to use at most regional events. Sunday’s first round was followed by a reception and tasty lasagna dinner at the community clubhouse between the golf course and the hotel.
Following Monday’s final round, everyone gathered at Comedy Off Broadway in Lexington for a buffet dinner, a comedy show and the awards ceremony. Sponsors were thanked, pictures taken and awards presented to the following winners:
B-1 1st low gross—Brian MacLeod w/Sarah MacLeod
B-1 2nd low gross—Ron Derry w/Chad Derry
B-1 3rd low gross—Jim Baker w/Doug Kaylor
