Get Ready for the Ultimate Disc Golf Experience in Las Vegas!
Date Published
The countdown has begun for the 13th Annual Gentlemen's Club Challenge (GCC), set to take place in Las Vegas from February 18th-26th. Organized by Jeff Jacquart and the Las Vegas Disc Golf Club, this A-Tier event promises to be one of the most anticipated disc golf tournaments in the country.
For amateur players, the GCC weekend begins on February 18th-19th with a two-day tournament featuring tee times and a $35 player's package. The course will feature 27 holes, including an island hole, with average distances nearing 320 feet. As part of their package, participants will receive a custom embroidered hat from Maverick Helicopters and a free meal courtesy of Chipotle Mexican Grill.
One of the unique aspects of the GCC is its NT-inspired format, complete with full-color caddy books, plenty of volunteers, and a dress code requirement for pros on the weekend. The event's organizers have spared no expense in creating an unparalleled experience for participants, including a 150% payback guarantee for all divisions.
The professional player lineup promises to be impressive, with a strong field expected from over 25 states, Canada, and France. The pro tournament will take place on February 24th-26th, featuring 18 holes, including one island hole, with average distances exceeding 450 feet. A silent auction, complete with exclusive helicopter tours courtesy of Maverick Helicopters, is also in store for attendees.
The GCC has garnered significant support from top sponsors, including Disc Golf Values (official title sponsor), Innova Champion Discs ($8,000 in donations via merchandise sales), and the Las Vegas Disc Golf Club ($1,500 sponsorship). Legacy Discs and the Senior Foundation Grand Program have each contributed $500 to the cause.
When asked about the event's growth, Jacquart noted that last year's $23,000 pro purse ranked among the top 10 richest PDGA events in 2011. "Although we may not be a National Tour event," he said, "we certainly look, feel, and smell like one!" The GCC extends its gratitude to major sponsors DiscGolfValues.com and Innova Champion Discs for their combined sponsorship of $12,500.
