Barbasol Information

Coaches,

Barbasol Championship has set up a youth program to promote the summer PGA TOUR event and benefit the local youth golf programs of Kentucky.  Each high school will be given the opportunity to sell tickets to the event via  https://barbasolchampionship.com/tickets/  and inserting their high school code.  For every $1 of tickets purchased, Barbasol Championship will give back half of the money to the high school golf team.  For example, if a high school is entered at the time of check out for $100 - four day grounds pass, Barbasol Championship will give $50 to that high school golf program. 

On Monday, July 15^th they will also have a Junior Pro-Am event, please read the information in the flyer on this exciting opportunity

The tournament is waiving the fee for any juniors who want to work inside the ropes, and is also looking for caddies for the Pro Am that week.  Any questions about this, call Kevin Mims.

Statement from KGCA concerning recent changes to KHSAA State Golf Tournament:

The KGCA does not exist for the KHSAA, but instead was formed to have an intentional impact on the golfers, coaches and families of Kentucky high school golfers. We endeavor to do this by offering our scholarship program and by being the caretakers of the All State program. As such, we are deeply saddened by the recent actions by the KHSAA regarding the state golf tournament, as well as the way that those actions were brought about utilizing some misrepresentations by key individuals within that organization, whether by mistake or knowingly doing so.

The KGCA is committed to making sure our high school golfers have the best opportunities to shine as they have in the past. We have some exciting opportunities on the horizon for the upcoming year and beyond, so we ask that you stay tuned and keep the buzz about this going in a positive way

Welcome to the KGCA!

In order to keep moving forward and providing the best direction for Kentucky High School Golf Coaches and the athletes that we represent, there have been several changes in what we do and how we go forward as a group.

The KGCA proposes to accomplish this by:
