They quite possibly could be the best team in KY, at any level.

And they had a couple of bad rounds on the card, per their standard.

With the conditions of BGCC, they played very well.

Absolutely. I fished through what they played in. I'd rather have been fishing.

What type of scores do top KY HS golfers shoot? Any of them scratch or low single digit handicap?

Yes. If you're even at the state tourney, you're back in the pack. I can't speak for the other regions, but all year long there were kids under par or even in each tournament our kids played in.

High school golf in Kentucky has gotten a lot better in the past 20 years. I give credit to folks like Drew Conliffe and the entire KGA organization because of their summer tours. The thing is, your elite junior golfers in KY aren't playing many events in the state. They are literally traveling across the country to compete against the best in the country. The young man from Owensboro that won the state title this year has been competing across the country since he was 11 years old!

Obviously not every junior golfer can do this, but summer golf tours have definitely made golf in KY a lot better.

27 stroke victory in the state tourney is unheard of congrats Tigers!
