VGT PALM SPRINGS GOLF CLASSIC DETAILS 10 SPOTS LEFT
February 18 – 21, 2013
Palm Springs, California
Thank-you for your interest in our 2nd Annual Golf Getaway down to Palm Springs this February! We have 20 players pre-registered for the golf getaway, which is double the # from last year. This is very exciting to see, and who knows how big this event could be in 5 years’ time??
Being that we are in a time sensitive situation on booking flights and accommodations, we will need all payments for the Palm Springs Getaway confirmed by Friday, January 22nd to guarantee pricing and confirm your booking on the trip.
I strongly suggest anyone who has not already booked their flights, please do so right away so you can guarantee you make it to sunny Palm Springs on time!!!
If you need someone to do your air and car rental arrangements, Hector’s wife Monte does great work and she can be reached by email at monte@travelbydesign.ca.
You don’t want to miss out on this great rotation of golf courses and the accommodations we are lining up!! The prices we have set are really great considering the accommodations and golf courses are 5 star thanks to our connections with some pros in the area!!
Prices are confirmed as long as all the golf courses and hotel space is available for our group, which will be confirmed by this weekend. If there is a change to a course or we need to look into an alternative hotel, pricing may change slightly (up or down) and I will email this to all players before the online form is up on the site. Due to the nature of everyone’s requests, we may need to do the rooming assignments for everyone as there are many guys who want to head down a day earlier, stay a day or two later.
On that note, here are the details of this year’s VGT DESERT GETAWAY!!!

Tournament Format:
- 18 – Hole Events:
There will be three (3) separate 18-hole events in round 1 thru 3, so even if you ‘struggle’ on day one, you can still win daily prizing on day 2 and 3. We will use two flights for this event, which will be determined by equally dividing up the flights once we have confirmed the total #players in the field. - 54-Hole Event:
There will also be a 54-Hole event where the top 2 overall Gross and top 2 Overall Net winners will win prizes over 54-Holes. We will use two flights for the 54-hole event as well. - 9-Hole Horserace:
After one of the tournament rounds (TBA), players will be teamed up in pairs (highest score with lowest, second high with second low…etc.). All players will tee-off the first tee in an alternate shot shoot-out, and depending on # of players in event, we will eliminate minimum of 1 group per hole until we crown a Team Champion! - ‘BIG SHOT’ Skills Contests: At completion of one of the rounds we will have a Big Break type (“BIG SHOT”) contest. Players will be broken down into 2 flights for this. Top 2 in each flight will gun it out to see who is the A Flight and B Flight ‘BIG SHOT Champ’
- Optional Net Skins Game & Duece Pot ($5/day for skins + $5 in pot for deuces= $20 total):
