The Country Club of Lexington is my home club…and also the club where @LukeBoatright hung his hat for a while.
CC of Lexington has been heavily displayed by our local PGA Tour Pro Wesley Bryan and his brother George in their YouTube videos like this one:
I’ll work on some options for dinner Saturday night and a Sunday morning round somewhere else.
Our charity of choice will be Pawmetto Lifeline, a local no-kill shelter in Columbia, SC. More details to follow on that in next few weeks.
I am really excited for everyone to come play. As Mr. Show mentioned this was my last job in the golf business. I was then a member for a number of years before I decided to hate golf for a while. The golf course is fair and fun. CC of L has been a USGA Mid-Am qualifying site in recent years and is the longest running host of the SCGA Junior Championship which it hosted for over 40 consecutive years.
thanks for putting this together @drv4show. seeing as i won’t be making the Hootnenany this year, i am looking forward to a meetup here in our backyard. also since we will all likely die of heat exhaustion and/or a severe thunderstorm, i can’t think of a better way to go out.
Sorry you guys. I put this in the roll call thread but I’m headed to sand valley that day.
Helpful hint if you’ve got a good round going. It’s a very firm and fast ~230 to the hidden pond on #18, prominently in play. On an otherwise good layout, #18 is a yuck club candidate. I repeat, unless you can count on a high fade over the right trees, you’d best be served hitting 3i-3w-wedge.
I hit into that pond from all the tees round after round…driver or 3 wood. I’m not a fader of the ball but by the time I get to #18 tee box I believe I can fade it. Sunday I went driver, 3 wood to the fringe and made birdie.
