09/28/24 – State Golf First Round Update

September 28, 2024 Athletic Department Blog Updates

The heavy storms throughout the state over the last 24 hours have obviously impacted the host courses for the state golf first round. In order to give the courses proper time to clear storm damage and prepare for competition, Hopkinsville Golf and Country Club and Eagle’s Nest Country Club have opted to move the date of the boys’ golf tournament. There is currently no change to the girls’ playing date.

With that said, the girls’ competition at Hopkinsville and Eagle’s Nest will be played on Tuesday, Oct. 1 followed by the boys’ event on Wednesday, Oct. 2.

At this time, there is no change to the order of events at Shelbyville Country Club, which will assess its course conditions this morning and then make a determination about any possible adjustments.

We realize this schedule change will cause participants to adjust their travel plans on short notice, but it is a necessary change considering the weather conditions and storm damage each course has endured. They need proper time to clear the damage and prepare the course for championship play in order to provide the best playing experience for participants. 

Due to the change of schedule, practice times will be available on Sunday and Monday at each course’s discretion (weather permitting).

The pairings will be released later this morning and will reflect the change in playing dates.
