2024 CCTRLV Golf Update

ALCON,

The course was gracious enough NOT to cancel our event, even though we fell well below expectations for the number of players required for a tournament-styled event (scramble or otherwise).

We have not been granted a shotgun start since we only have 17-18 players and they have elected to give us tee times instead, starting at 0730L each day (spaced out in 8-minute intervals).  If you have requested rental clubs, I have submitted the names of the club rental reservations (renters will pay for their clubs on-site).  Also, due to the drastically increased cost of transportation this year and the size of our group, we will not have bus transportation for players to/from the course/hotel; therefore, we will kick it old school as we have in previous years, and players with POVs will drive non-POV players to the course.  We have plenty of drivers to accommodate riders and I have worked out a driver/rider pairing list and tried to correspond it the best I could with the golf pairings.  Everything will be sent to all players this weekend once I have the documentation and WARNO finalized.

This year’s golf has been reformatted into a simple, low-key golf outing vs. competition.  It will be about getting away from the casino & hotel, breathing fresh & clean air, playing a nice course, comradery, the brotherhood, having fun, and drinking responsibly (if that’s your thing).

See you all soon!

Last Call – CCTRLV Golf 2024

All interested golfers,

This is the last week to register for golf!!!

We currently have 16 of the required 32 to have a tournament.  If we don’t get 32 for each day we run the risk of not being able to play at all.  So please get into the registered guest list and get your buddies, (SHAME THEM INTO IT) to sign up ASAP.

 It would be a shame to have this all fall apart because folks lost track of time.  Cutoff is Friday 29 March.  Lets see what we can get done in the few remaining days we have left.

CCT Reunion Las Vegas – Golf 2024

BLUF:  We need more golfers, with only nine registered as of this newsletter/email.   We have nowhere near the number of players necessary by 01 April (32-players minimum), so if you do not see your name below, but plan on playing, please go to the website, using the link below, and register.  Also, if you have requested a specific foursome pairing for Thursday, and the rest of your team has not registered, then you need to get on their butts to register now.
 
 
Also, if we do not have enough players two weeks prior, they will not give us a shotgun start for either day and could cancel the event altogether.  Please note:  The cap this year is 56-players, if we receive more player entries than we have space for we will request more openings from the golf course.  If they cannot accommodate extra players registrations will be honored on a first come, first served basis.  Please reach out to everyone you know attending the reunion who is willing and able to play golf and get them, AND yourself, signed up IMMEDIATELY.  
 
Again, we must have preliminary player numbers turned in to the course director NLT 01 April 2024, and a final number of players turned into the course director NLT 15 April 2024.  Players not signed up by the 15 April cut-off cannot play.  The course grants no wiggle room to allow someone slide in last minute.
 
If anyone wants to sponsor a hole or if you know of a company that may wish to sponsor a hole, please let us know by registering to sponsor at the link below.  This will help defray the cost and keep the individual player cost lower than the going rate of $125-$150/player per day, which we currently have set at $95/player per day.
 
 
Also, I would like to thank Geoff Hitchcock and Samantha Somer for taking over my golf coordination duties as I take on the Treasurer role for Las Vegas Reunion.  Speaking of which, you two must also sign up…LOL!!!
 
Thank you so much for your attention and participation.
