LEXINGTON — The 36th Annual Lexington Medical Society Foundation’s Golf Tournament on May 20, 2026, at the University Club of Kentucky in Lexington drew a robust crowd of 96 players, sponsors, and volunteers with 24 teams and multiple sponsors and organizations.
The Golf Tournament is the Foundation’s largest fundraiser and resulted in over $25,000 in donations to Central Kentucky health-oriented charities, such as Baby Health Services, Bluegrass Council for the Blind, Camp Horsin’ Around, Radio Eye, Surgery on Sunday, Yes, MAMM!, Yes CERV!, Mission Health, God’s Pantry, Children’s Advocacy Center of the Bluegrass, Camp Hendon, and more.
Tournament chair Tom Waid, MD, in his first year of chair of the event, said, “We thank all of the brave participants who supported the LMS Foundation in the face of 100% chance of rain and thunderstorms. We had seven additional teams this year and nine new sponsors. The Bourbon industry has been very supportive, so I’ve nicknamed this the ‘Bourbon & Birdies’ golf classic. We have scheduled additional tournaments on the third Wednesday in May for the next three years, so lock in your dates. As always, we especially want to thank our primary sponsor, Stock Yards Bank & Trust.”
The first place, with a score of 55, was from Baptist Health of Lexington, followed closely by the second-place team from Family Financial Partners, with a score of 56. Third place went to a team sponsored by Professional ProAssurance with a score of 59.
