Kentucky PGA
Another Warm One at Andover
It was a warm day for some hot golf for the Kentucky PGA National Car Rental Pro-Am Series at Andover Golf & Country Club in Lexington on June 13. 23 teams teed it up in hopes of capturing one of four prizes: two best gross balls of the four-person team, two best net balls of the four-person team, Low Professional and Low Senior Professional. There was also a little something for everyone with KPGA Business Partner Horn Legend supplying golf shirts to the professionals, KPGA Business Partner Cleveland | Srixon Golf providing two sleeves of golf balls to each amateur and the signature National Car Rental Pro-Am Series poker chip being passed out to all players. KPGA Business Partner Bionic Gloves also brought some fun to the day with a game on the second the hole - the closest amateur to the hole in each group won a Bionic Glove. Special thanks to National Car Rental and our partners for a fantastic and fun day!
