LEXINGTON, Ky. (LEX 18) â On Saturday morning, dozens of kids got to tee up on the golf course with some partners from the Lexington Police Department.
The DSE Golf Club hosted the event at Tates Creek Golf Course.
According to the release, DSE Golf Club works with students who attend lower-income elementary schools and provides extraordinary opportunities for them to grow as golfers, students, and members of their community.
The golfers partnered with one Lexington police officer and they played nine holes together.
One Lexington detective told LEX 18 that sometimes when they interact with children, it can be on their worst day. This is a chance to build a relationship and trust out-of-uniform.
