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 Ty Thompson and Paul Weise for their 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 in Ty Thompson’s neighborhood, 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
B-1 low net—Tony Schiros
B-2 1st low gross—Kevin Edwards w/Anna Edwards
B-2 2nd low gross—Jeff Estero w/Stan Hall

Ty and Paul say they are already looking ahead to the 2014 event!
