Georgia Golfers at the 2012 GCC in Vegas

[keith johnson]

5 GA golfers made the trek to the desert - here is a recap and where you can follow scores daily if interested.
Scores and ratings can usually be seen each day around 9-10 PM EST here- http://www.pdga.com/tournament_results/77977

Phil with a 54 leading Masters
Keith with a 60 - 10th in GM
Q
Ben (now Vegas - but still close to being GA)
Kevin McCoy
John Riley
are all in the Open division finishing between 8-9 PM EST

Tee times first day were alphabetically set, so Q and Ben were on the same card with Paul McBeth with Kevin being on the card after.

I saw everyone play the first 2 holes, since my round ended before any Open Men players teed off and Phil was 4 holes behind me in the first Masters tee times, so I saw him on a few holes where the course configurations worked out.

Dawn and Lorelei's flight was delayed due to the crappy weather in ATL (it is 75 and sunny here in Vegas) and now they don't leave until after 9 pm instead of 7:30 - getting here after 11PM, which doesn't leave much reunion time before my 8:45 tee time tomorrow.

Yeah, a 45 at Fountain to come back from 12 behind to win is amazing - he beat the 2,3,4 players by 12 and 13 strokes that round.
It was a mistake free round and 1000 dollar increase in pay from where he was sitting going into the last round.

He swept both stops winning over 2 grand - not too shabby for 7 days of Disc Golf in 9 days time - Over $285 a day for each day golfing is a pretty good job if you can get it.

Not really - the pros played with little or no wind all 4 days where the other divisions had howling or 10-15 mph winds every day - so the best players had the best conditions - it was pretty easy fort hem to take advantage of the courses under those circumstances.

For proof - look at the archived Womens lead group for FRI at Vista with the howling winds which were tailwinds on Holes 1-10 and headwinds on holes 11-17 on discgolfplanet.tv and then watch as they get to the 18th hole hole how they are almost non existant -just in time for the top 3-4 mens groups to tee off on hole 1.
