County Games Golf

This is pre-post to the upcoming annual County Games Golf.  My work has an annual golf tournament to determine who will represent the County at Corporate Challenge.  Corporate Challenge is local to the Las Vegas area.  The event replicates the Olympics.  It encompasses all the local public agencies as well as participating private businesses.  The County sends the first place team to Corporate Challenge and the second place team is the alternate.  

I have entered the event the past two years.  Typically its at Silverstone.  http://www.silverstonegolfclub.com  The first year my partner and I came in third.  What a day.  50 degrees 20-25 mph winds all day.  For those of you who golf, you know what 20 -25 mph wind can do to the ball.  Last year we won the event and were able to attend Corporate Challenge.  We shot -7 under but that was hardly competitive.  The winning team ended up shooting -12 under.  As a note, the format is a two-man scramble.  I wish I could shoot -7.

This years event has been relocated to a different course.  http://www.bouldercreekgc.com  This is a really nice course with three different 9's.  It's a typical desert type course but it has always been in great shape every time I've played there. The tournament is set up to play from the whites which cuts off close to 600 yds.  Maybe the 635 par 5 will be reachable.  We'll see.
