David,
I just googled Coyote Springs and the website came right up.
Oh I see the link on the website is broken. I will have my web guy fix it. Thanks!
I had this info passed on to me from a golfer concerning shuttles to and from Las Vegas airport. Las Vegas Limo’s (aka: ALC) out of Mesquite, NV will transport people to and from the airport. Their rates are $50.for R/T and $30. for One Way. P/U times at the Airport and Hotels will be sent to me and I will then forward it out to you all if interested. Just in case your ride wants to leave earlier or later than you want to. Safe travels to all 39 days for me. STMF
Link from courses still broken. This is the message I just got:
Error Summary
HTTP Error 404.0 – Not Found
The resource you are looking for has been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.
As I said before I have my web guy fixing it. In the mean time you can still access their website at http://www.coyotesprings.com
David DeRango, no problem on the Canadian Beer, we will have many cases of beer with us as last year we drank them all before we got to Mesquite. Look us up on the Sunday evening, we will be hanging around George in the Casablanca Lounge. My brother and I will slide up to the room and get you one or two as the hotel will get mad if we brought a “two four” down with us. A “two four” is a Canadian term = twenty four beers in a case.
Carzy Canucks you are on!!
I too will also be hanging around George in the Casablanca Lounge.
Look forward to meeting you and the Beer, we can hide to two four under the table!!
just kidding safe travles.
Chirstian thank you.
For those of you looking for my breakdown of the latest numbers, I am out of town and away from my specialized equipment that I do it with.
(My Printer & my Pen) So maybe when I get home tomorrow I’ll work it up. The weather here in Nevada is nice.
Christian,
The link is working, thank you, now I have question I was on Coyote springs web page and they show using route 168 to get to the course and the directions you give are to use route 93, why is that??
Because route 168 is more of a direct route??
Just wondering.
Thanks again.
After looking at the directions again maybe I am wrong Christian??
In my old age could I have forgoten the way there??
not sure.
thank you.
David,
Is is the simple way: Head south on I 15 to Glendale. Get off I 15 and go right to SR 168. Go to End. Now you have gone to far. Go back 1/2 mile. Coyote Springs will be on your Left. If perchance you catch it on your way, it will be on your Right. WATCH for NHP. Money Maker Route for the State.
David DeRango, we will be watching out for you.
Crazy Canucks, I will not be hard to find, as I have stated before I will be the one with the smile on my face that will not go away!!!
when you enter the Casablanca Lounge to check in with George just yell out the Canucks are hear!!
safe travles.
Ok folks,
This is where we are at:
As of the Participant list dated 4/20/2012
Men – 74
Senior – 118
Super Senior – 175
Masters – 75
Women – 103
Gross – 2
Total – 547
Hopefully the mens flight goes up by at least 6 more. I am one of them, so at least 5 more. Would rather see 3 med flights versus 2 large flights. Still have 30 days to go. We’ll see. STMF
Hey George,
If you like, I can back up and play in the Men’s High Handicap Flight.
I can finish last in any Flight. Maybe we can get David to join us.
George
How much is the Skins Game during the Tournament Rounds? Another reason to move back, I never see who ever it is that might run it in the Senior High HI flights.
George,
You might need to see about 87-90 to see 3 flights. Same as Masters.
we usually run 20 a day, payout in bar right after. I run all three flights together with no handicapp. Straight up golf. In the 8 years I have been doing it never seen one flight really dominate the others in winnings. Seems to always be shared among all three. STMF
You might be right Jerry, but I would hate to be the low guy in the second flight. You could possibly be giving up a stroke a hole to the high handicappers in the flight. TOugh way to get into the top 10. STMF
George,
The Men had 90 with 3 flights and the Masters had 68 with 2 flights last year. The Mens second flight had the least spread with 5 points, the first had a 9 point spread and the third flight more. With two flights the 2nd would have a large spread but I would expect the middle of the road guys to have the best chances of scoring well if you discount the 3% outliers.
Another tidbit of info: There are approximately 40 unattached Women, that is…not coming with anyone having the same last name. The ratio of unattached males to women is 10 to 1. This ratio is probably high due to the number of non golfing spouses and others that are attending this years event.
Jerry
With the Secret Service Scandal going on, you bring up this information.
I lost you when you brought in the Masters, but I do know that last year the high handicapper was getting around 30-31 and the low guy was around 2-3. So if you split that down the middle with 2 flights the low guy in the second flight would be around a 16 or so and be giving up 15-17 strokes a day to the high guy. Where in the top flight the Low guy would be giving up around 12-13. Not much of a difference but 4-5 a day is quite a bit. We’ll see, hopefully more sign up and we don’t have the issue. And for the other tidbit of info you gave out I hope the ladies have a great time. STMF
George,
With the Gross guys playing in the Mens I believe your Division will get to three flights. Given that premise I think you will be in the middle of flight 2 with about a 2.5 stroke difference on either side of you. Half of your field 2.5 strokes less than you and half of your field 2.5 strokes above you. This is based upon the spread from last years participants in your Division. Just do better in your third round this year. You can do it.
Oh the dreaded third round. Have to put down the duck farts for that to happen. I don’t see it happening, haha. THanks for the advice though. STMF
David D. no worries about us Crazy Canucks announcing our presence as we will have beers in hand. But we will announce just for you as there will be a “Canadian” beer with your name on it.
Played golf the other day as courses are just starting to open up here in Calgary Alberta Canada . A wee bit rusty as the triples and doubles showed up the first round of the year. Best get back out there and forget skiing (yes the ski slopes are still open) to eliminate those triples and doubles. The only triples and doubles I want to see are in the pub after the round. Just over a month away till Tee Time.
Yes a bit rusty I am as well working on it but this old senior body has more aches and pain then I do golf balls.
Hope to get work in on our golf league which starts tonight, but as I said 53 and windy normal around here.
Looking forward to that Canadian beer!?!?!?
I am moving up to the Super Seniors this year and will be happy to run a daily Skins games for the Nicklaus, Palmer, & Player groups. I have run it for the last 6 years in the seniors. We will do $20/day and heads-up in your own flights. On Thursday we will do an additional pool for all the players in the rotation (that will be $40 for Thursday to play both). You can hang around after the round to collect, I can pay you the following day, or you can find me at dinner. On Thursday you will need to hang around or find me that night.
Just like Stan I will volunteer my services to run the skins in the mens 49 and under flight. Not as lucky to move up in flights like Stan, 5 more years. I do all men together, the higher handicappers play from a tee up so it makes it fair. 20 a day and we pay out in bar afterwards. Open to all men in the flight. Good luck on travels, see you in 30 days. STMF
Ok Stan, now you are in the Super Seniors who will do it for the seniors??
Do not leave that up to me I can screw up a two car funeral?
Any one what to run this I will help!!!
Update to both skins games. The Sunday gross game at Falcon Ridge is up to 43 players and we have 9 spots left. The Monday net game at The Palms has 103 players registered with 9 spots left. If anyone is playing either of those courses and you want to get in a practice round this might be the way for you. Meet a lot of nice people, play some golf and have a chance at starting the week off right by winning some money. http://www.tournevents.com/doingit2012 is the website or if you have any questions just drop me a line here. Safe travels to all I lift off in 27 days. STMF
Played Falcon Ridge April 26 & 28, Course is in great Condition, my game, Oh Well.
Kerry, did you stop by and say Hi to Chirstian for all of us!!
Been to busy. Maybe Monday, before I leave. Tee Time Monday at Palms, 6:00am. Then Home.

Christian,
numbers look good is this what you have expected?
David,
The numbers are up from last year so that is two years in a row that our numbers have increased. We appreciate everyone’s support of the event and bringing new people to the event. I was hoping to get to 600 but I think we will come up a little short of that. People can still register and join all of the fun this year!
I will be sending out the “last” invite for both skins game this evening. As of today the gross game on sunday at Falcon Ridge is at 46 golfers with 6 slots available and the net game is at 110 golfers with 10 spots left if anyone is interested. Website is http://www.tournevents.com/doingit2012. Safe travels to all I am wheels up in 22 days and a wake up. STMF

safe travles all and yes you know what I am going to say _ ______ ____ !!!
Have just made my Saturday Tee Time. Playing Oasis-Canyons at 8:20 am. I think. I really should write these things down. I should be almost in Mesquite by this time on the 25th. I Cannot Wait. I said it David.
David: “TRAVELS”
Working on yardages for both skins games today and I just noticed that #1 at the Palms is now a par 5. Interesting change. 18 and wheels up. STMF
George,
I heard some folks talking about that when I was there last weekend.
“TRAVELS” yes Kerry I know did not check my spelling.
you cannot use my cannot wait!! that one is mine!
How come when I am on the Palms site I donot see #1 as a par 5??
18 days till Vegas, and 21 till Mesquite!
Save “TRAVELS” all.
David
It was the same way when I looked also. But when I was at Falcon Ridge last week, there were folks talking about it. I would have 1st hand knowledge, but I was not feeling well when I was to play it last Monday. So I bowed out. Even the scorecard on the golfnow.com website still shows it as a par 4. Ok, won’t use it. And “SAFE TRAVELS”. Man you are getting old.
You are going to be playing with Stan soon. 19 days & a wake up, work, then Wheels Down and 80 MPH. Safe Travels All.
