Very cool thing happening off the 18th green today as Butch Whaley, a Marine and a member at Boone’s Trace National, is tending to the 18th flag for players while they putt out. A nice touch for the holiday. 🇺🇸
The end of an era beckons for GHK. Bill Coomer, our long time Director of Amateur-Professional Competitions will be retiring in the spring. Bill began his role in January 1995 and will call it a career in April. Please join us in congratulating him on his pending retirement! 🐐
Since we were at Country Club of Paducah earlier this week, we’re throwing it back to when the late, great Cullan Brown hit an unreal flop shot on the closing hole there to preserve a win in the 2017 Region 1 Championship. A shot so good it has to be seen to be believed. #TBT
We were delighted to receive the news earlier today that golf courses are EXCLUDED from Governor Beshear's executive order outlining the closure of public-facing businesses. With that said, golf should be considered even more of a sanctuary during these times than usual.
20 years ago, Old Silo was "the" public golf course in Kentucky. Today, it sits vacant 6 years after closing clouded by sadness over what it once was and questions about what happened.

Y'all... do NOT be the reason why Kentucky becomes red on this map. Golf courses are being shutdown in states nationwide and without being cautious or maintaining social distancing, Kentucky could be one of the next. Stay healthy and safe out there! (h/t GolfDigest)
