Ben Montgomery Wins KIT, CAL’s Golf Team Places 3rd
CAL’s Varsity Golf team placed 3rd in the KIT (Kentucky Invitational Tournament) at Nevel Meade golf course on Sunday afternoon. The KIT is one of the largest golf tournaments with one of the strongest fields. CAL tied with a team score of 297 and West Jessamine Co. won in a playoff.
CAL’s team score was the lowest YTD with a team total of 301. Ben Montgomery was the overall winner with a score of 69. Montgomery’s playing partner rolled in a 40-foot birdie putt on the last hole to tie Montgomery at 2 under par. Ben proceeded to roll in his own 30-foot birdie putt to pull back ahead to 3 under par.
Spencer Swift and Jake Davis both shot 77, Jonathan Embry shot 78 and Jimmy Kev Clements shot an 85. This marked the first time CAL has had 4 scores below 80.
“Yesterday our golf scores were great but I was more impressed with the way our players represented their families, our school, and most importantly our Heavenly Father, said Coach Dortch. I cannot begin to tell you how many parents, coaches, players, rules officials, etc. came up and complimented our players. It is just good stuff!”

Coach Cal at CAL
For the 3rd consecutive year, The John CalipariSatellite Camp Tour stopped and set up camp at Christian Academy of Louisville’s English Station campus. From Boone County to Bowling Green, the camp tour is making its way through the commonwealth during the month of June. The 2012 summer tour includes 9 stops throughout the state.
“This is really the only school we come back to every year. People ask us why we keep coming back to the same school and it’s because these kids are the best and really want to be here,” said Calipari.
Over 300 campers, grades K-12, filled CAL’s red and blue gyms to learn drills taught by UK Assistant Coaches, Kenny Payne and John Robic, as well as UK staff and players Kyle Wiltjer and Jon Hood. . “We do these camps so that we can spend time with the people throughout our state,” said Calipari.
Hundreds of campers lined the perimeter of the Centurion’s blue gym to get autographs and pictures with Coach Calipari and the Championship trophy. “I’m not sure if these camps are more for the kids or the parents,” joked Calipari.
Coach Calipari offered encouraging words to campers and practical skills to propel them to be the next generation of Wildcat players. The Tour ends today with stops in Nelson County and Bowling Green.
