Dear VGA Members,

We welcome you to our annual TPO, Memorial Two-Day Tournament located @ Gold Canyon Resort and Spa.  The event is open to members only and guests are welcome but ineligible for prize money. 

Net total score event w/ Treasury paying out $2,000 over 10 places in each flight (20).  Gold Canyon Golf Resort and Spa gives members the option to stay & play or simply participate in a single-day event if preferable.

We booked tee times on Friday, 5/24/2024 for an optional practice round, not mandatory.   

The tournament includes both Gold Canyon Resort courses; Sidewinder, May 24^th Practice Round, Dinosaur Mountain on Saturday, May 25^th, & concluding on Sidewinder, Sunday, May 26^th. 

In addition to TPO, we will hold our normal day-money event w/Big Dog Points on Saturday only.  Entry fees are standard $15.00 paying top three spots in both flights, skins & CTPs.  Sunday’s event follows same format w/o Big Dog Points.  Optional side pots offered both days.  PLEASE NOTE: There is NO ENTRY FEE into the TPO 2-day event. 

Rest assured, Head Pro states both courses will be in fantastic condition during this time.

The beauty of the golf courses is top notch & worth the trip alone if never played. 

We hope as many members as possible can attend & look forward to great competition & most importantly, a memorable & fun experience. 

Thank you,

VGA Board

VGA Alert for Best Ball & TPO calendar events 5-5-2024.

Website tip: New updated Calendar is available here (Printer friendly).

When participating in VGA Events, don’t miss out on the chance to win cash without paying extra. Low handicappers can pair with a higher handicapped member, and through a synergistic ‘ham and egg’ style, you might find surprising results. It’s a fun opportunity to play your own game, have a teammate, and compete for the prize money contributed by the VGA: $100 for 1st place, $60 for 2nd, and $40 for the top 3 teams to split.
