My Community: Keene Trace Golf Club

The community I chose and the community that I feel most connected with is the community of Keene Trace Golf Club. This golf club gives its members an opportunity to play at two of the nicest courses in Kentucky. These two courses are Champions Trace and Keene Trace. I have been a member of this club ever since I started golfing. I have only been golfing for about four years but when you are playing at a really nice course it is easy to fall in love with, like I did. I play at one of these two courses at least three to four times a week. That doesn't always mean actually playing eighteen holes, sometimes i hit range balls. With me being a member here i have met a lot of friends that I am friends with now. This golf club gives a great opportunity for you to meet people, and as I grow older and continue to play here i hope to keep growing friendships and making connections, A fun fact about this golf club is that the PGA actually has a golf tournament here. This tournament is played at Champions and being a member there we get free tickets to go. https://www.keenetracegolf.com/

NICHOLASVILLE, Kentucky | Troy Merritt wins rain-delayed Barbasol, gains spot in PGA

NICHOLASVILLE, Kentucky | Troy Merritt wins rain-delayed Barbasol, gains spot in PGA

NICHOLASVILLE, Ky.  — Troy Merritt shot a 5-under 67 on Monday to win the rain-delayed Barbasol Championship by one stroke. This was his second career PGA Tour victory, and it earned him a spot in next month’s PGA Championship. Merritt led or shared the lead after each round.

“To get a win like this late in the season and move up to No. 65 on the points list and secure a job for two more years, it’s a pretty good feeling,” said Merritt, who earned $630,000 and 300 FedEx Cup points with the victory. Merritt is also exempt through the 2019-20 season.

Merritt was one of four players tied for the lead at 18 under when the round began. He made five birdies, including an eagle-2 on the par-4 eighth hole, to stay in contention.

Consecutive birdies on Nos. 14 and 15 at the Champions Trace at Keene Trace Golf Club put him into the lead before he finished with pars for a 23-under 265.

Billy Horschel (67), Richy Werenski (66) and Tom Lovelady (68) were a stroke behind. J.T. Poston was fifth at 21 under with Brian Gay sixth at 20 under.

The Monday finish was the PGA Tour’s second this season and first since Jason Day won the Farmers Insurance Open in January on the sixth playoff hole.

Monday’s final round had a playoff feel as well with Merritt, Robert Streb, six-time PGA Tour winner Hunter Mahan and Lovelady tied for the lead. Competition remained tight as the leaders dealt with a course left mushy by steady showers.

Merritt passed the downtime by watching the final round of the British Open and used the rest to play his way into golf’s final major of the season.

Merritt had an opening round of 62 to tie the course record. He tried to maintain consistency in a tournament he believed would require at least 20 under to win.

In his last round, he had a lone bogey on the par-3 third hole and birdies on the first, sixth and eighth. Then came birdies at Nos. 14 and 15, and he just missed another on No. 18 when his putt went about an inch left of the cup.

PGA Tour shuffles schedule to finish Playoffs before football season

Movement — and plenty of it — highlights the PGA Tour’s upcoming 2018-19 wraparound season.

Start with The Players Championship, the Tour’s flagship event, which moves back to March from its May spot. The PGA Championship, for decades the last major of the year, moves to May. And the FedExCup Playoffs, shortened from four to three events, moves so it will finish by the end of August and before the beginning of the NFL and college football seasons.

And two events — the Houston Open and A Military Tribute at The Greenbrier — are moving to the fall and will be played next as part of the 2019-20 season.

The Tour released the schedule of 46 events on Tuesday.

“We are extremely pleased with the way the schedule has come together, particularly with the number of changes that were involved and the strength of the partnerships required to achieve this new look,” PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan said in a news release.

“By concluding at the end of August, the FedExCup Playoffs no longer have the challenge of sharing the stage with college and professional football. This will enhance the visibility of the FedExCup Playoffs. We have created a schedule that will heighten interest in all tournaments while further elevating the FedExCup Playoffs.”

The Playoffs are now three events and will be played in consecutive weeks. The annual Boston stop, which played as the second postseason event the first 11 years of the Playoffs, is moving starting in 2020 into an every other year rotation with the New York area, which has annually hosted the first event.

Next season the Playoffs will start with the Northern Trust on Aug. 8-11 in New Jersey, move to Medinah Country Club in Chicago the following week and end in Atlanta at East Lake Golf Club Aug. 22-25.

Significant scheduling challenges await the game’s best players as they look to peak for the sport’s biggest events and arrange for proper rest.

With the revamped schedule, there is an eight-week stretch that includes the World Golf Championships-Mexico Championship Feb. 21-24, The Players Championship March 14-17, the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play March 27-31 and the Masters April 11-14. The other four events in this stretch are important to the players, too — the Honda Classic, Arnold Palmer Invitational, Valspar Championship and Valero Texas Open.

Two of the season’s most popular events precede the eight-week stretch — the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am and the Genesis Open at Riviera Country Club. And the RBC Heritage at Harbour Town Golf Links once again is the week after the Masters and has annually been a big hit with players looking to decompress after the first major of the year.

There’s also a six-week stretch that begins July 18-21 with the Open Championship at Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland. The following week the last WGC event of the season, which is now moving from Akron to Memphis and will be called the FedEx St. Jude Invitational, will be played. The next week is the Wyndham Championship, the last spot for players to earn a spot in the FedExCup Playoffs. And then you have the playoffs.

Exciting changes await.

  Other significant changes include the addition of two new events. The Rocket Mortgage Classic will be the first PGA Tour event held in Detroit from June 27-30 and will be followed by the 3M Open at TPC Twin Cities July 4-7.

The RBC Canadian Open moves from its traditional spot in late July to June 6-9, the week ahead of the U.S. Open.

The season begins the week after the 2018 Ryder Cup in France. The Safeway Open in Napa, California, is Oct. 4-7 and kicks off a seven-week, eight-tournament fall stretch before the Tour takes a break in late November.

The schedule resumes the first week of January in Hawaii with the Aloha State two-step — the Sentry Tournament of Champions Jan. 3-6 and the Sony Open in Hawaii Jan. 10-13.

NORMAN, Okla. – Auburn men’s golfer Brandon Mancheno has been named a semifinalist for the 2018 Division I Jack Nicklaus National Player of the Year Award presented by Barbasol, the Golf Coaches Association of American (GCAA) announced Tuesday. Mancheno is one of 30 semifinalists up for the annual award, and is one of nine representing the Southeastern Conference. The freshman is the first semifinalist from Auburn since Michael Johnson in 2016. In his first season with the Tigers, Mancheno boasts the lowest average round score on the team at 70.52 and has produced nine rounds in the 60s. The Jacksonville, Fla. native has paced the team in five tournaments this season and touts a team-best eight top-20 finishes, including six in the top 10. Following the SEC Championship, Mancheno has 19 rounds even or below par, including 16 below par. Division I finalists for the award will be named May 24. Nicklaus Award recipients will be announced May 31 with the honor presented by Jack Nicklaus at a ceremony during the final round of the Memorial Tournament presented by Nationwide at Muirfield Village Golf Club. In addition to receiving the Jack Nicklaus National Player of the Year Award, the five recipients will compete in the Barbasol Shootout for an exemption into the PGA TOUR’s Barbasol Championship, held July 16-22, at the Champions at Keene Trace in Lexington, Ky. The Barbasol Shootout will be held Saturday, June 2 at the storied Scioto Country Club in Columbus, Ohio - the same club where Jack Nicklaus first learned the game of golf as a young boy.

NICHOLASVILLE,Ky | Lincicome shoots 71 but misses cut at Barbasol Championship

NICHOLASVILLE,Ky | Lincicome shoots 71 but misses cut at Barbasol Championship

NICHOLASVILLE, Ky. — Brittany Lincicome missed the cut at the Barbasol Championship after shooting a 1-under 71, failing in her bid to become the first female golfer since 1945 to make the cut in a PGA Tour event.

The eight-time LPGA Tour winner with two major titles was the first woman since Michelle Wie in 2008 to play in a PGA Tour event. Lincicome had sought to join Babe Zaharias (1945) as the only women to make the cut.

But Lincicome faced a huge hurdle after an opening 78 left her near the bottom of the field. She had six birdies in Saturday’s rain-delayed second round at Champions Trace at Keene Trace Golf Club, highlighted by an eagle-3 at 17. Her round included six bogeys, including three on the final four holes, and she finished at 5 over 149.

Troy Merritt (-15) enters the third round leading Billy Horschel and Cameron Percy by two strokes.
