This past Saturday, three weeks after the event was originally scheduled to be contested, the Mountain Dew/Aquafina Junior Series event at Lafayette Golf Club in Falls of Rough, Kentucky was staged and is finally in the books. Postponed due to rain on April 24th, the event was rescheduled for May 15th at 9 AM (central time) with hopes that ideal golf weather would coincide with the day’s festivities.
However, it appeared Mother Nature would not fully cooperate, the weather forecast was threatening once again with precipitation predicted to be in the area throughout the day. Fortunately for staff, competitors, parents and spectators alike the rain decided to hold off just long enough for all 38 players to complete their respective rounds. Falls of Rough, Kentucky was then flanked by thunderstorms for the rest of the afternoon into the evening.
For the first time this golf season a Mountain Dew/Aquafina Junior Series event was accompanied by above average temperatures. The absence of wet weather and presence of warm humid temperatures produced some excellent scores. Full field results for all age divisions can be found under the "Events" link at the top of our junior golf website.
Lafayette Golf Club is located on the property of the Green Farm Resort which includes lodging possibilities at the Green Mansion Bed and Breakfast. Designed by Jody Kinney of Dublin, Ohio, Lafayette covers 250 acres, and takes advantage of the varied terrain and the many lakes and rivers on the historic Green Farm property. Opened in May of 1997, the course offers superior golf for all levels of play. Five tees on each hole vary the course from 4200 yards to 6900 yards with the layout design incorporating both links and wooded styles.
The KGA-PGA, Inc. staff would like to thank PGA Head Golf Professional Chris Brown, Assistant Professional Kyle Pelley and the Lafayette Golf Club staff for their efforts in hosting the event. We would like to also thank fellow KGA-PGA, Inc. staff member, Barbara Peak for her assistance before, during, and after the event.
