Format: Open Play - No Scoring

Field: 32 players.

We started 2018 GK Plays outings at Rams Hill and ended it there. Just a fantastic course. And although the greens were not in typical Rams Hill pure shape, the rest of the golf course was phenomenal. Beautiful weather and wonderful service. We’ll be back again in 2019!

Thank you to everyone that came out. I wish I could have got more tee times because I know many others wanted to play. But thankfully Santa jumped in early and came ready to play. Huge thanks to GK’er HmtGolfGuy for making the day even more special.

Was a big day for HmtGolfGuy as he was also presented with his mini GK Cup Fall 2018 trophy. Yes everyone Santa has game!

We had GK’ers travel a long way to play. Granted Borrego Springs is far for all of us but consider jcrow from Phoenix, xazntigerx from Ohio and bmcnicoll from Edmonton, Canada. Meant a lot.


Again big thanks to HmtGolfGuy playing Santa, mpisarski01 & xzantigerx for helping the raffle and sixpez for donating his Bogeys Across America 2019 calendars!

btw – I found the secret to play great golf, play with Santa, I shot my best round of the year :)

Looking forward to 2019 already!

Real glad I decided to do a double-shot year end GK Plays. Originally I planned this Omni La Costa outing for November but scheduling did not permit. Turned out we timed it perfect with great weather and playing conditions (still having nightmares about the long rough although – LOL).

Was great to see all those that came. Thank you so much. Was cool to have some of GK Plays prize sponsors playing as well with AndrewZ28 of LinkSoul and jwalrack as well as bigj882 of GolfMoose.com.

The outing also gave me an opportunity to give AndrewZ28 his mini GK Cup trophy for Spring 2018.

Personally I’ve never seen Omni La Costa Legends Course in that great of shape. I know they’ve worked very hard to get it back to this point and will be continuing to improve conditions. Your review are very appreciated.

Big thanks to ringworld for helping out with photos, mpisarski01 with the raffle and sixpez for donating his Bogeys Across America 2019 calendars!

Laughlin Ranch Golf Club - Bullhead City, AZ
Sunday, July 15th
Tee Time 7:00am - 7:24am
Includes: Green fees + Cart, Range Balls, Contest & Prizes!
Format: Open Play - No Scoring

Field: 16 players.

Was a great outing this weekend and a big thanks to everyone that came!

I took a chance scheduling this in the heat of summer in Bullhead City but luckily the weather cooperated and the golf course was about as green as I’ve seen a desert course in the middle of the summer in a long time. Fantastic golf experience.

Was great how we had 6 players to jump in the last week bringing our total to 13 players. Linksoul and GolfMoose provided great prizes as usual and some GK’ers got to discover Laughlin Ranch which IMO is the hidden gem of the southwest right now. You can bet we’ll be having another outing here again. Next time likely in the early Spring so those of you that did not participate because of the heat, you’ll have an opportunity to enjoy it with pleasant temps in 2019. However, get up there and play it before that, you won’t be sorry.

Fun way to start the 2017 GK Plays season. Thank you to everyone that came!

Normally we kick it off with a high-end golf experience, this time going with a low dough outing. But it certainly was not a low dough prize table. LOL. Big thanks to Linksoul.com and GolfMoose.com for the bulk of the prizes.

It was exciting to see so many first time GK Plays outing participants. 15 in total. Almost half the outing! Many new friendly faces.

Been reading lots of your reviews already – thanks so much. And I know the golf course appreciates them too.

Big thanks to ringworld for helping me out a bunch Sunday. Thank you to Dconnally and Dcricket for donates some prizes.

Short turn around for our big GK Plays PGA WEST on May 7th. 44 Players. Sold Out. But I am going to start a waiting list. Going to be awesome!

I’m working on lining up a June GK Plays outing. But already super exciting about our GK Plays NoCal outing at famous Yocha Dehe Golf Club on Saturday, July 22nd. Space is very limited on that one. Only 24 spots. Bucket list course. Just $65.

Hey Everyone!

A day late in recapping our GK Plays than normal for me so my apologies. I already read some golf course reviews about the day which are greatly appreciated and instrumental to my efforts to organizing these outings. More reviews the better.
I think we really made the right call having this Sunday as opposed to Saturday. It’s my understanding the weather was very winding the day before and the area was a madhouse with the Stagecoach music festival. Instead we caught perfect weather, little crowds and beautifully maintained golf course.

We even had our 3rd ACE in a GK Plays by Nickesquire (Nick’s 2nd Ace ever).

I want to give a big thanks to Clevelend Golf/Srixon and of course Linksoul.com for the extremely generous sponsorships. I’m noticing many more GK’ers where the fine Linksoul clothing.

Also need to thank GolfMoose.com and Aliante Golf Club as well as other Las Vegas courses for donating twosomes.

btw - thanks stickboy for helping out with the raffle.

Many More Prizes Coming!

Hey Everyone!

Another great outing and I really appreciate the support in coming out! Big thanks to Linksoul, Cleveland Golf/Srixon, GolfMoose and others. That was one loaded prize table!

Desert Willow Resort treated us terrific and their service was excellent. I like the added touch of providing us 15% off discount off any posted rate they have on their website for a future tee time. It was also great of them to set us up in an enclosed semi-private room when they anticipated the rain (although it barely rained). But I have to admit, like most of you, I was disappointed by the unexpected small tine aeration and bunker condition. I was made aware that the bunkers were to be prepared for a May renovation about a month ago but had the impression the bunkers would play very firm and would still be properly maintained which IMO they were not. Seems they had not been machine raked/turned in long time. As for the greens, this was most disappointing. Although in good shape overall, they would have been exceptional despite the recent small tines aeration had they been cut and rolled that morning. I understand the logistics of turf management and wish Desert Willow Golf Resort would have be able to proceed with small tine aeration after our GK Plays or a little more in advance of it. I can’t blame the tournament director I work with on this. He simply has no control over when a minor procedure to the greens it going to take place. Many times a small tine aeration is done with no advance warning.
Despite this let down in conditions not meeting high expectations I thoroughly enjoyed my day. They are great longtime supporters of GK and wonderful people to work with. It’s also a fabulous layout.
Our PGA WEST Greg Norman GK Plays is right around the corner. Less than 3 weeks. There are spots open so please join us. I’ve already called them and they said they won’t aerate the greens until June 20th.

Rams Hill Golf Club - Borrego Springs, CA
Sunday, January 10th
Tee Times Starting: 10:30am
Includes: Green fees + Cart, Range Balls, Contest & Prizes!
Format: Open Play - No Scoring

Field: 36 players.

Originally planned for 28 players, decided to give 32 players a shot and increased to 36 players with not a single cancellation...way out in Borrego Springs CA. 470 miles round trip drive for me from Ventura County yet not as far as Uncleddboy23 who came in from Peoria, Arizona. El Nino decided to makes us a little nervous early in the week but come Sunday it was nice to play golf. The course certainly lived up to its billing, the Rams Hill Staff was super accommodating and friendly, everything about the day was wonderful. It goes without saying Rams Hill is an annual stop on the GK Plays outing schedule.

Thanks everyone for coming out. Big thanks to GK’er AndrewZ28 for hooking us up was so many LinkSoul.com beautiful clothing. Big thanks to Cleveland-Srixon Golf for the setting us up on new Srixon driver and Z-Star golf balls. Thanks to Aliante Golf Club for the 3 comp Vegas twosomes. Thanks to T-Link for the wearable GPS watch. Take a look the prize table pic, man was it loaded!

I am loving our outings so much. Made some calls today already to try to line up something in March.
Want to thank everyone who helped me out and who offered. Special thanks to Hammer74 for being the volunteer photographer. Another thanks to Kviser for helping hand out raffle tickets.

Many of you have already posted golf course reviews. Thanks so much. That is so important to helping me continue to get great rates for us to play. Also I started a new initiative to spread the word more about our outing on social media, #gkplays, if you have not already made a post on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter or wherever with #gkplays, please do, it’s just another tool for us to show golf courses and those that support our outings, our support for them…plus so much of the fun we are having!

Note from JohnnyGK:
- When we teed it up here in March, I knew instantly we would be back for another outing, this course is just too pure. What I did not anticipate was how soon. The reason we have returned is because despite the immaculate conditions Rams Hill was in this spring, it’s going to be in even better condition and a more grand experience in January. That’s because the golf course closed from the summer into November for yet more investment in turf enhancements, landscaping and major clubhouse improvements. In addition this outing will be loaded with many more raffle prizes and goodies!

So please make the drive to Borrego Springs so we can bring in the GK 2016 outing season in style!

Our year end GK Event was another great success with a gorgeous golf course in great shape, beautiful weather and of course all of you that participated. I don’t think we've ever had a prize table so loaded down with excellent goodies. Big thanks to AndrewZ28 hooking us up with beautiful Linksoul clothing. Warm welcome and big thanks to Clevelend Golf-Srixon for the donating a top-of-the-line driver and Z-Star Golf Balls. Big thanks to HmtGolfGuy for setting everyone up on Essence water and the cases of water as raffle prizes. Thank you very much to GolfMoose for all the $50 certificates. Big thanks to T-Link for donating a GPS watch. Thanks to Aliante Golf Club, Conestoga Golf Club and Revere Golf Club for the comp twosomes. See the photo of the prize table - crazy!

I want to give a special thanks to Sixpez for once again donating his year-end GolfNomad calendar as prize gifts and all the help provided with photos and raffle at our GK Event.

Normally this event caps off the year and we wait until Spring next year before our next outing. Not anymore, we are going to keep the fun going, so if you have not already saw the Rams Hill GK Plays for January 10th (less than a month away) – please do!

One last thing, it’s very important for me, is for you to write a golf course review of your experience at Indian Wells Golf Resort. The reason we get great rates for our outings is because the golf courses want your reviews. Even if you have never wrote a golf course review on Greenskeeper.org before, make this your first.

Thanks!

- This is a first for GK, we are heading back to the same course we’ve already had a GK Plays at this year...but can you blame us, it’s Goose Creek! Their reseed went very well in October and it’s time to show off the course! Our last GK Plays at The Goose was on a Monday so hopefully a lot of you that missed the first one because of work can make this one. The $55 rate is a big savings on their normal rates (normally $78 at the times we are playing). We’ll have sweet prizes and a GK Plays is always a good time. Come out and join us! Kick-off your Thanksgiving week right!

Hi Everyone,

This was our first attempt at a low cost GK Plays and I considered it a success. Being it was a Friday afternoon on a popular course with beautiful weather, I anticipated not the fastest pace of play. But overall I really enjoyed the playing experience. Judging by the many reviews already posted which I very much appreciate (and so important for GK) looks like most agree.

Have to say after the round was a blast too with most GK'ers being able to stick around. Big thanks to LinkSoul.com GK’er AndrewZ28 for hooking us up with all the great gear and discount purchase cards. Also big thank you to TLink.com for coming on as a new sponsor. I tried out the TLink on the course and found it very accurate with yardage. We’ll have many more to give away.

Something that really impressed me with Green River Golf Club was how accommodating they were. They had everything set up for us perfect making my life easier and what most of you don’t know is they kept the bar/grill open just for us as it normally closes around 5:00pm. Their service was excellent. I even got to talk with the GM and Superintendent before the round.

We had some fun again with pictures and videos. I’ll be posting much of those in the coming days/weeks on our Greenskeeper.org Facebook Page (please LIKE it) and of course here in the GK forums.

I've already posted so photos on the GK Events page.

Closest To Pin Results:

Hole #2: Dconnally (8ft, 3in)
Hole #4: Nobody (are you kidding me!)
Hole #8: TomHooter (14ft, 11in)
Hole #13: Itslikeimsayin (1ft, 4in – shot of the day!)
Hole #16: TimSullivanPDF (22ft, 5in – that hole was a beast)

Sandpiper Golf Course - Goleta, CA
Sunday, September 20th
Tee Times Starting: 11:00am
Includes: Green fees + Cart, Range Balls, and Raffle Prizes!
Format: Open Play - No Scoring

Field: 20 players.

Entry Fee: $95

I was not sure how well received an outing like this, on short notice, high priced and long drive would be embraced. Well 19 out of 20 players and a bunch of fun was the result. Thank you to everyone who participated!

In my opinion, and my review will be more detailed, PLEASE remember write a review…fantastic layout and service but the drought has had an impact on the playing conditions of the fairways and aspects through the green. Although still in good shape overall, having played Sandpiper many times, it’s always been in much better shape. I think the coming El Nino rains are going to have a very positive impact on Sandpiper. We will be revisiting Santa Barbara for an outing coming in Spring.

I want to give a BIG thanks to our sponsors Linksoul for a terrific package of clothing and golfmoose.com for the $100 certificate. This may have been a small outing but it was NOT short on prizes! Also thank you to sixpez for helping out with the raffle tickets and ringworld for snapping many photos. Also thank you to wrangster for snapping pics!

With GK Plays they are not scoring events, but we do closest-to-the-pin on every par 3:

Hole 4: Mattias (34 ft, 11in)
Hole 6: Stickboy (20ft, 9in)
Hole11: DannyAfflalo (13ft, 0in)
Hole 18: Mattias (23ft. 0in)

I hope everybody had a great time! – Thanks again for coming!

Note from JohnnyGK:
- Sandpiper...for under $100 on a weekend morning...enough said. Well, of course it goes without saying when GK'ers get together it's always a great time so make the drive to beautiful Santa Barbara and enjoy this spectacular course on the ocean. Side note, keep in mind although that the conditions of greens, around the greens, bunkers and tees should be fantastic. But Santa Barbara has been hit very hard by the drought so fairways and rough will be dry and not up to typical Sandpiper Golf Course standards.

We put this little outing together about a month and half ago, started it at 16, grew to 20 and in the week of the outing Linksoul.com apparel came on as GK Plays & GK Event sponsor to totally hook us up! Btw – big thanks to AndrewZ28.
I was concerned about the scorching heat wave but everyone showed up, stayed well and enjoyed the day. Afterwards I introduced our “Everyone Wins a Raffle Prize” process and proceeded to act like Santa Clause for the next 45 minutes. What a great time it was playing the course and hanging out in the Redhawk Golf Club Cantina. Good food and drinks. It was buzzing with us GK’ers talking and laughing it up! – To think how much fun just 20 GK’ers can have. Love it. Thanks Everyone!

With GK Plays we only do one contest and that is closest to the pin. But in ALL my years doing them, never have I seen so many so close! We were in the last group and we would come up to a hole and say WHAT???

Hole 4. Dkiewiez – around 4 feet
Hole 8. Thingstodo – around 4 feet
Hole 12. AndrewZ28 – inside a foot
Hole 17. Lotrgolfer48 – inside 2 feet

I’ve gone ahead and uploaded the photos so check them out!

Can’t wait for Monarch Beach Golf Links this Thursday and Goose Creek on 8/31!

Note from JohnnyGK:

I want to say right from the start, thank you everyone that came out! For close to ½ of the field this event was pretty local. For me, a 3 hour drive…but worth it!

Lots of new players for this one and some longtime GK’ers I finally got to meet.

I loved this entire event. I know the pace would be considered slow but I hardly noticed being surrounded by so many great people. The golf course, being my first time playing, exceeded my expectations in conditions and challenge. I definitely want another crack at it.

Big thanks to sixpez helping out inputting all the scores and assisting with the raffle. Big thanks as always to TheBigDog for setting up our score sheets.

So far I’ve read some of your reviews and can’t say how much I appreciate them. It’s our reviews that make these events affordable and possible so please write one.

Definitely not waiting 5 years again before coming back to PGA WEST – just a fantastic outing. Thanks so much everyone for coming.

Got to give a big thanks to sixpez who handled all the scores inputting and with helping out with the prize table. Knowing I had that added help allowed me to socialize more at event which is my favorite part and not to mention be relaxed more on the course.

It seems I was the only one immune to Pete Dye’s diabolical intentions with the design of the Stadium Course. I managed to play the same ball the whole round, not have single penalty and never find any of his bunkers. But I believe I was more lucky than good as I only hit 3 greens in regulation in regulation but somehow always missed the greens in the right places.

I need to give another big thanks as always to TheBigDog who set up the score sheets for us and wish he could have made it.

I’ve been reading your reviews, really appreciate them and know it is those reviews that bring more awareness to GK allowing us to make these events possible to begin with.

I’m going to get our photos and scores posted soon but wanted to post the results now.

Note from JohnnyGK:
- You've read all the hype now come out and play…or play it again! Late March in Borrego Springs is typically post card weather. Having played the course, it’s immaculate and the layout is instantly one of my favorites. I understand nearby accommodations at Borrego Springs Hotel are reasonably priced. Plus they offer a Play & Stay package if you want to Rams Hills Golf Club the next day too. Let’s make this a fun GK Weekend to kick off the 2015 outings!

PS: I've made this a GK Plays instead of GK Event to keep the price down and so many that are playing this course for the first time can play the tee box of their choice.

This will go down for me as one the very most memorable and fun events we’ve ever had.

Highlights:

- Picture perfect weather on a beautiful course in exceptional condition.

- dconnally’s awards speech and presentation recapping his eventful day last year. Dave gave those involved with the event and that helped him so gag awards and some touching ones too.

- kg1791 donations of Bridgestone balls to give out to every group, a pair of Disneyland tickets and a new Odyssey Versa Putter.

- sixpez giving every person his beautiful 2015 GolfNomad calendar. Plus donating back an extra Revere Golf Club comp twosome.

- th91711 (Tom Hill) donating 3 of his books A Perfect Lie: The Hole Truth

- All the help I got that allowed me to play from Paisano and sr129 helping with checking, kviser helping with scoring, ringworld helping with photo (much be over 100!) and as always, while not at the event, TheBigDog setting up our scoresheets.

- Most of all, everyone making it to the event, which included th91711 actually having to hitchhike! – You all brought great smiles and good times. I can’t wait for 2015 – I won’t make the same mistake as I did this year and not schedule more. I already got an event confirmed for PGA West TPC Stadium course on Saturday May 16th.

THANK YOU!

Note from JohnnyGK:
- Our December Palm Springs event is our biggest every year and our best attended. Once again we will be at the beautiful Indian Wells Golf Resort, but this time playing the Players Course. The course should be in fantastic shape from overseeding and off the cart paths. After golf we'll be in a private room enjoying a delux Southwest Fajitas Buffet. For this outings I'll have a bunch of new GK SWAG with our new logo. If the stars alighn it will also be the kick-off for the new GK Mobile App. We will be doing a special closest-to-the-pin contest on hole 17 called the "Balata Hole" where you will be required to play a never hit HT-90 Maxfli Tour Balata to win a dozen GK logo golf balls (thank you GK'er Isoceles who donated the balata balls that had been sitting in his garage, never opened, for over 20 years). Being its the last outing of the year, I'll be unloading lots of prizes.

Looking forward to a great turnout and as always good times!

Thank you to everyone the came to our annual year end Palm Springs GK Event!

It was unseasonably cold and there were some unexpected twists this year but in the end it turned out to be a very successful GK Event again.

First off to anyone still concerned about member dconnally, he is fine now. I just want to express my deep sincere thanks to everyone that came to his aid.

I want to thank Paisano for all his help running the Hopkins Golf wedge contest and of course Hopkins Golf for being so generous to donate a couple of their excellent clubs. Also thank you to everyone that helped at our awards/dinner. I always know all I have to do is ask and GK’ers don’t hesitate to assist. And as always a big thanks to TheBigDog for setting up our spreadsheets.

Pretty crazy day but wow, with all the commotion this was by far our best scoring event…not an easy course at that!

The dinner was delicious with plenty of food, deserts and drinks. Indian Wells Golf Resort did a great job with the service as well. Actually they did a super job all day long assisting us with everything.

I’ve read many of your reviews already and can’t express enough how much I appreciate you writing them. If we did not write many reviews after our events, we would never get the great deals. It’s that important. Positive or negative…please express yourself.

I am working on our 2014 event schedule now. Please stay tuned to the GK Events page for updates. Almost certain we will be back out to Palm Springs in May 2014. There should be one or two events before that.

Hope everyone has a wonderful holiday break :)

Little did I know, or could have guessed, this GK Plays would feature some of the fastest greens we’ve ever played! Turns out when you cut and roll tight dry bermunda the morning before play…look out! I personally loved them.

Anyway, this was a great time again and I can’t wait to get back out to Arizona for another GK Plays. We had good turnout with 6 players from CA and 10 from AZ. The weather was beautiful, the course, considering it was only 10 days before overseeding, was in very good shape. I thought it was perfect for a Skins game…not too tough (other than putting), some reachable par 5’s and a few long par 4’s.

I guess its time to make all the GK’ers that could not or passed on this event jealous because once again it was a fantastic time. The course was in great shape, weather perfect, scores low and tons of fun!

I want to thank Audc1ty for helping with check-in, stickboy with the raffle tickets and RobStretch for bringing up some extra prizes I ordered from swing18golf. As always I must thank TheBigDog for setting up our spreadsheets and most importantly everyone the came!

After the event I really enjoyed going out to eat with 8 other GK’ers to AJ Spurs and playing golf the next day at Hunter Ranch with rgm2525, lotrgolfer48 and Audac1ty. Great fun the whole weekend.

Highlights: ItslikeImsaying EAGLES hole one, the hardest hole on the course by holing out a 5-iron from 174 yards. RobStretch finally breaks through to the A flight in a very impressive way by winning the event with a 75.

I’m going to post our next event this week which is another GK Skins Game in AZ on Sunday 10/6 at Sun City West Golf. Also, there was talk about us using a bunch of the Las Vegas Comp 2 some certs to have a small GK Plays in Vegas in early November. Finally, I will be posting our annual December event in Palm Springs early in October for Indian Wells Golf Resort on Sunday December 8th. What a fun years it’s been!

Hi Everyone,

Once again just a super event! Thank You everyone that attended! Big thanks to Addictedtugolf who, despite ill and not being able to play, came anyway to support the event. And wow did he, donating over a thousand high quality used golf balls…looking at my dozen ProV1’s right now. Also a big thanks to TheBigDog who set up our scoring spread sheets and would have loved to make it but has had his hands full. I’m thrilled how it all came together. We had perfect weather, great golf course conditions, first time players, solid showing and awesome camaraderie. Also loving the reviews being posted.

Our second day of the weekend provided us beautiful pleasant weather and some real fireworks! Sabrina Ko (beanieng) won TWO Closest To The Pins contests and Michael Ko (michaelko) eagled 18! Both neither of their two feats could compare to….drum roll please…KVISER’s HOLE-IN-ONE! – Hole #12. Our first ACE by a GK in the 8+ years we’ve been having outings. Congratulations to Kevin again! And BTW, like the good man he is, he bought all of us in the clubhouse a round of drinks.

What a trip, two awesome rounds of golf, great food, service, good times hanging out by the pool and playing cards. The perfect golf weekend.

Thanks again to everyone that came – for sure we will be back at Stevinson Ranch next year.

I am still buzzing from this event like many those that attended it. I’ve already let Stevinson Ranch know we WILL be back next year! GK Events & Outings are organized predominately to make GK a stronger community by sharing good times with each other. We nailed it! So you can imagine how good I’m feeling reading all your positive feedback. I want to give a massive THANK YOU to everyone that came and as always to TheBigDog who helped me with the spreadsheets. Looking forward to reading many more of your forum posts and course reviews.

Side Note: Can’t tell you how great it was to finally meet all the NorCal/CentralCal GK’ers who made this one. Wonderful people I had a chance to golf with or hang out with. You are the primary core group that can springboard the GK community to thrive in your regions. I’m so fired up to do more outings up your way. Thanks again for coming!

JohnnyGK Note:
- Last June we spent two days at Stevinson Ranch and it was one the best times I ever had with fellow site members. Stevinson Ranch treated us fantastic, the course was awesome and the food delicious. This year I want to make it one of our biggest gathering of the year. The price is unbeatable (seriously – look around). The first round, $50, is a GK Event which includes a sit down New York Steak (or ribs, chicken or alfredo pasta) dinner. The second round, $45, is a GK Plays with prime time Sunday morning tee times. I also reserved 10 cottages right on the Stevinson Ranch property for Saturday night at only $44 per person a night (cottages accommodate 2 people). Regarding cottages, you’ll need to pay for the stay separately at the course. Cottages also include a nice pool, hot tub and BBQ area we made the most of last year. Lastly, Stevinson Ranch also has a world class practice facility, great bar and restaurant.

Really happy how our first GK outing turned out in AZ…not just because I won a big skin! There were 11 of us + Pat (SeveB) and Mark from Sun City West Golf. Pat hooked us up with free mugs and CTP prizes (which were free rounds of golf!). Only three skins were had, amazing how much pushes with so few players. The skins winners were kviser, JohnnyGK and Pat - $56 each. Pretty nice with only a $14 buy in. Golf, cart and range balls were on $39. Pat went ahead and made a scoreboard and I used the counter of the patio to create a GK “Prize” Buffet Line (two passes every player). Isoceles won 2 of the 4 CTP and Pat won the other two which of course he gave to me to give to GK'ers at our outings! After the round 7 of us grabbed a bite to eat and shared a lot of laughs in Scottsdale.

Great times and thank you to everyone the came! – Hoping to get another organized this Summer since this one went off so well.

JohnnyGK Note:
- Our first organized event in Arizona and our first Skins Game! We will also be joined by Sun City West residents but paired together as GK’ers. The GM, Pat, of Sun City West Golf came up with the idea and has agreed to run it. Pat will also be playing. If we can get decent participation Pat will put on more outing for us. I’m loving this mainly because it’s a fun way for us to get together but also because it’s a great deal on a fair fun course.

* If you don’t have a USGA Index, you can use a GK Score Tracker Index. If you don’t have a GK Score Tracker Index, then go to the GK Score Tracker page, start entering scores to create one. It’s Free. If you don't have a GK Score Tracker or USGA Index, and don't want one, you can play as a scratch (0 index).

Super time! Our first GK Event at CrossCreek and I was very pleased how it worked out. We had a great showing, beautiful weather, excellent playing conditions and gave away a ton of prizes. In fact it’s the most winners we’ve ever had at a GK Event! Can you believe nine holes yielded skins.

I’ve read some of your reviews already, looking forward to reading more, and they’ve been helpful. Please post when you get a chance.

Thanks to rgm2525 for helping me with setup, to sixpez assistance with the raffle, those that hung around after and to TheBigDog for once again setting up our spreadsheets. Also a big thanks to all our prize sponsors…so when are we going to Vegas to redeem certs! – lol.

Thank you everyone for coming!

Our Stevinson Ranch outing is right around the corner on 6/8 & 6/9. Make the drive and play the fabulous course.
