Laura Kueny (Whitehall, Michigan) has lived in Asheville since November and recently became an honorary member at the Country Club of Asheville.
“I’ve only played the course a few times with our travel schedule, but they treat me really well threre,” said Kueny after her final round in Greenwood, South Carolina. “My housing dad from last year is going to caddie for me so it will be nice to see them again.”
Kueny, who played college golf at Michigan State, loves her new home.
“I love the city of Asheville,” said Kueny. “There is plenty to do like hiking, The Biltmore, white water rafting and lots of neat spots for photography.”
Although Kueny has missed the cut twice at this event, she really likes the course and is hoping her third time is a charm.
“I acutally do really like the course and I don’t know why I never play well here, that really bothers me,” said Kueny. “It is one of the courses on Tour that is always in really great shape with the greens rolling nice. I’ve played it a couple times this year and it was in great shape.
Kueny says that being in position off the tee is going to be critical this week at Country Club of Asheville.
“If you hit the ball in the fairway, you are at least one up on your opponents,” said Kueny. “I can’t get too greedy because there are a lot of greens on the course where you want to be below the hole because it is a Donald Ross designed course and that is his specialty.”
More than anything, Kueny is excited to be back “home” and take in Asheville. Her favorite restaurants are Tupelo Honey Cafe and Doc Cheys.
