LEXINGTON, KY (June 11, 2021) – The second of four Drive, Chip & Putt Local Qualifiers in Kentucky took place today at Man O’War Golf & Learning Center in Lexington. While there was a delay of slightly more than an hour in the middle of the competition because of severe weather in the area, it was an otherwise smooth day with many smiles, high-fives and fist bumps. Suffice it to say, today’s Qualifier did its part to grow the game and promote enjoyment through golf.

The top three overall finishers in each division are now exempt for the Sub-Regional Qualifier, which will be held on Sunday, August 1 at Persimmon Ridge Golf Club in Louisville.
