Kentucky African American Golf Tour [Kentuckiana Amateur American Golf Tour]

From the Kentucky African American Golf Tour website: "Organized under The Kentucky African American Golf Association, Inc., the purpose of the tour is to promote African-American golf in Kentucky. The mission is to provide African American amateur golfers in Kentucky an organized format to compete and fellowship together at the highest possible level. Membership is open to any race, creed, color, sex, religion or national origin."

The tour was established in 2004, and the first tournament began in April of that year. There was an annual fee of $25. Each year the schedule started in April and continued through October, with an event scheduled each month. Players competed using the USGA Handicap System.

The name of the organization has been changed to the Kentuckiana Amateur American Golf Tour, which serves Kentucky and southern Indiana.
