The Country Club of Paducah is one of the best clubs in the entire commonwealth of Kentucky and we are thrilled to host this event at the venue. Additionally, along with the Racer Intercollegiate at the Country Club of Paducah, the men’s golf program will rehost The Buddy at Miller Memorial Golf Course annually, starting in the fall of 2027 and we are excited to share more details on that soon!”
