Chairman's Message
Upcoming Kiely Cup
The 2019 field is set!
Once again we look forward to another exciting Kiely Cup … this year marks our 15th! How time flies. We also look forward and hope the boys are able to play all 36 holes without the incredible heavy rainfall experienced at last year’s tournament. Check out some of the photos taken and you’ll see what I mean. The course received an unprecedented amount of rain all day Sunday causing the suspension of play and ultimately cancellation of the first round. Fortunately, Monday’s rain eased a bit and play concluded around 3PM. Beforehand, Canterbury’s highly regarded Course Superintendent Michael LoPresti and his grounds crew worked tirelessly in the wee hours Monday morning and got the holes ready for play.
2018 Champs Dublin Jerome will be back to defend along with another strong cross-section of teams from Ohio’s three golf divisions: (8) from Div I; (4) from Div II; and (3) from Div III teams. Here are this year's invitees:
Archbishop Alter, Brookfield, Canton Central Catholic,
Columbus Academy, Gilmour Academy, Hawken School,
Archbishop Hoban, Hudson, St. Ignatius, Jackson Massillon,
Lakota East, Walsh Jesuit, Wellington School, and St. Xavier.
So if you're interested in witnessing a collection of the best high school teams in the State of Ohio, I invite you to mark for calendars for September 8th & 9th. Come join me at the famed Canterbury Golf Club links and observe the excitement, drama and unpredictability of prep golf. These players are the game’s future stars.
Finally, as most of you probably know the Rules of Golf were substantially altered, modified, revised, revamped this year. To review the (31) changes, click on the 2019 Rule Changes Explained link.
I hope to see you in September.
