Fedex Kinko's Classic Returns to The Hills of Lakeway
The Fedex Kinko's Classic is back at The Hills Country Club. Starting with some ProAm golf yesterday and today, the bulk of the play that everyone will want to see will be over the weekend.
Preparation for this year's Classic got a little spooky for the host club when heavy rain, hail and high winds hit the area last Friday. Almost 3 inches of rain, marble-sized hail and winds up to around 60 mph pounded the area Friday morning. Grounds keepers had to flush out the sand traps and replaced the sand that washed away. Hail stripped many leaves off trees, leaving the area covered with debris that had to be picked up. Wind caused chaos with some of the tents and stands that had been set up. But it looks like everything was ready to go on time
The good news about the rain is that the course is lush, which will make for great viewing on the Golf Channel and CBS. So if you want to see what The Hills looks like, this is a great time to watch some TV.
