Tournament Details

The Pro-Am will be a team event with each team featuring 3 amateurs and 1 professional. Teams will play in a Shamble format. Each hole, the team will select the one best drive among them after teeing off, then all play their own ball from that position to the hole. Professionals must play their own ball for the entirety of the hole to be eligible for the professional purse. Team scores are determined using one low gross score and one low net score per hole. USGA Handicap Indexes will be used at 80% of player handicap. Team and Professional prizes will be awarded to top finishers.

The tournament field will be limited to 35 teams.

Why Support Youth on Course Kentucky

The game of golf provides many introductory programs and opportunities for youth across the country. Youth on Course Kentucky provides an affordable opportunity for juniors, from all backgrounds, to continue with the game across the Commonwealth! It serves as a continuation program to keep juniors engaged at an affordable rate while providing extensive access to facilities, and an opportunity for comradery with kids their own age! This helps them (and their parents!) overcome many of the obstacles that may stand in the way of their continuation with the game of golf.

Youth Caddies of Kentucky

The Youth Caddies of Kentucky program is designed for youth ages 14- 18 who wish to participate in a part time job as a caddie at participating golf courses. Participants earn $70 per caddie loop (paid in-part by the KGF) and will accrue loops to become eligible for an Evans Scholarship. The Evans Scholarship is a full tuition and housing college scholarship for high-achieving caddies, primarily those with limited financial means. To qualify, caddies must meet the requirements of having a strong caddie record, excellent academics, demonstrated financial need, and outstanding character.

Kentucky Golf Foundation

The Kentucky Golf Foundation is the 501(c)3 charitable affiliate of Kentucky’s Family of Golf Organizations. Founded in 2002, the foundation was the vision of the Kentucky Golf Association and Kentucky PGA. Our core purpose is to impact Kentucky's youth and military through golf while also enhancing the diversity found within the sport. The Kentucky Golf Foundation impacts the community in many ways, including Youth on Course, the Kentucky PGA Junior Tour, PGA HOPE, junior golfer grant opportunities, the Kentucky Golf Hall of Fame, and more!
