2009 Lexington City Championship Results
Posted on July 16, 2009
The Lexington Men’s City Golf Championship came to a close this past weekend with 16 year old Will Bishop coming out on top after 72 holes. The championship is a 72 hole stroke play tournament played at four different courses: Tates Creek, Lakeside, Picadome, and Kearney Hill Golf Links. Each course did a fantastic job getting ready for play and it ended being a great tournament.
I’ve always wanted to play in this tournament and was finally able to do so this year. It was my first big tournament since high school golf and I feel like I played fairly well with the exception of a few shots. I look forward to playing in the years to come.
Here are the final results from the ...

Ryder Cup Media Pass Info Finalized
Posted on September 7, 2008
I received additional information this past Thursday regarding my 2008 Ryder Cup Media Credentials. I knew I was approved for a media credentials and I also knew they have different levels of credentials that get you into different areas. I’m getting “Media” credentials which gets me into the: Grounds, Media Center, Interview Room, and Media Dining.
Having access to all of those areas as a part of the Media is an unbelievable opportunity. I’m allowed to also have a camera with me (borrowed a nice Nikon D40 from someone at work), so having access to those areas + camera = some sweet pictures in which I’ll be able to upload to the gallery at KentuckyGolfing. The only thing I was ...

KentuckyGolfing.com is Bringing You All the Ryder Cup Action from Inside the Ropes
Posted on September 1, 2008
A couple months back, right about the time that I launched Kentucky Golfing I applied for media credentials to the 2008 Ryder Cup. I was extremely late in launching Kentucky Golfing (about six months late) and I figured that would really hurt my chances at snagging a media pass. I’m very excited to announce that Kentucky Golfing will be bringing you all the action from the Ryder Cup from inside the ropes as I was approved for media credentials to the 2008 Ryder Cup. This is such an amazing opportunity not only for me, but for this site as well. It will be a great networking opportunity to interact with all of the top media outlets from around the state and around the country for that ...

Laurel Oaks Classic
Posted on July 22, 2008
Over the weekend I participated in the Laurel Oaks Classic. The tournament is held at Laurel Oaks every year on the third weekend of July. I’ve been eager to play in this tournament for a few years but I always forget about it when the time comes. I know a lot of the golfers that play in this tournament and know that there would be some stiff competition playing.
The tournament is a two day tournament with the players flighted after the first day. Anyone that knows me, knows that when I play golf I play to achieve the lowest score possible (no sandbagging), but unfortunately for me, on the first day I did a lot of stupid things and didn’t score the best that I should have. I ended up ...

Cale Barr Takes the Lexington City Championship
Posted on July 15, 2008
July 10-13 was the annual Lexington Men’s City Championship. The Lexington City Championship is a four day tournament for golfers residing in Lexington city limits or those that hold a membership at a Lexington course.
This is a tournament that I’ve always wanted to participate in since moving to Lexington, but every year I’m either on vacation or cannot get off of work. If I played, I would only want to if I could play and compete with the best golfers at the tournament. Looking at the scores, there are quite a few very low rounds posted, but if I played my usual golf I would have finished somewhere in the top 20. I don’t get the opportunity to play in many tournaments though, so with ...
