2009 Participant - Lindsay Carrington

The Committee is proud to introduce 2009 Pineapple Cup participant Lindsay Carrington. Lindsay resides in Charlotte, NC. During 2008, he maintained the points lead on his team going into the final day by compiling a 4-2-3 four-ball record. Unfortunately, he went 0-3 in singles play and promptly blamed it on the distraction of his duties as the commissioner.

He graduated from Wake Forest University in 2001. Prior to attending WFU, he grew up playing in many KY junior golf tournaments. Once held the first day lead at the AJGA Bluegrass Invitational. His most memorable golf tournament occurred at the KY state high school championship, where play was suspended because of darkness with Lindsay having yet to complete the 17th and 18th holes. He was one back of the leader, who had already finished. Alas, LC was not able to make up the stroke in the last two holes though.

Typically, Lindsay is known to be a very straight driver of the golf ball and a brilliant sand player. Additionally, he keeps a very collected manner about him during a match, making him a valuable four-ball partner. It will be interesting to see how fatherhood affects Lindsay's game. You know, his son did come out at 7lbs., 2 ounces and quickly attained the nickname "Scratch." Maybe this is a sign of things to come. In any event, expect Lindsay to make plenty of pars, a few birdies and wear a lot of sunscreen!
