KY Special Olympics

The Special Olympics Kentucky State Golf Tournament was held on Sunday at Lindsey Golf Course on Fort Knox for the second year in a row. When the event teed off on Sunday, August 26, there were 86 golfers Of those golfers, 70 competed in the Unified Sports 9-hole alternate shot competition, which pairs a Special Olympics athlete with a non-disabled golfer. Thirteen athletes competed in the skills competition and three competed in individual 9-hole stroke play. Even though I don't know to much about golf, I had a great time keeping score for a unified team learning about golf and getting to know others within the community.
