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.

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.
