Puerto Los Cabos World Cup and Celebrity Golf Tournament
October 11-14, 2009
The Puerto Los Cabos World Cup and Celebrity Golf Tournament SURVIVED PATRICIA and brought together some diehard golfers and Celebrities, from near and far, for the inaugural tournament event, October 11-14, 2009.
If you ever get a call from Patricia who says she wants to be part of your golf and fishing event, tell her to go away. Say to her she is not welcomed. You don’t even want her around, make her believe that there is a cool tournament in Mazatlan and hopefully she’ll go away and lose some steam.
We were polite, so when Patricia remained an unwelcomed guest we actually embraced her and gave into her feminine charms, we saw and felt her tears and witnessed her fury, but she also had a little “Sunshine Patty” in her so when her wet cries of anguish took a break, our brave band of golfers went out and had a great time at it in the first Scottish (sideway rain) Open Golf Tournament in Los Cabos.
Local business man, John Pentz and fishing legend, Harvey Hunnicutt
had the vision of a mini week of high end sports fishing and Celebrity golf with an All Star Rock and Roll concert finale.
Party buster and fishing contest eliminator, Patricia wanted to make our program challenging but thanks to the 110% efforts of the Questro group who stepped up for every event scheduled that had to be rescheduled ending up better than the original plan, we came out on top.
Our three day golf program consisted of two days of TEAM competition with individual scores used to determine the winner between the USA and Mexico Players. Four and five man/woman teams consisted of amateurs and Golf Professionals. A Best Ball format was the order of the day allowing only 3 person’s score for each team to count in the overall TEAM contest. Ten teams of equal divide (5 USA and 5 Mexico) set off to find the best TEAMS and the Best 8 players on both sides mano a mono for the two days. The result was in favor of the guest players from the USA as they won the top three TEAM trophy spots and the USA versus Mexico match.
First day leaders with 212, The Markers, with Michael Broussard, Vince Goett, John Gregerson, Melinda Pentz, and local El Dorado Golf Professional Jaime Diaque couldn’t hold their lead as the team from Turtle Ridge, in California with Richard Vella, Dave Clark, Dave Doyle and former Cabo Real Golf Professional Rob Gutierrez won the Team title with a two day score of 418. Third place went to the colorful guys from AZ Radio in Phoenix, including Danny Schott, the DOG, Joe Freiberg, Dan Wach and the TOP DOG, Uncle Buck, who was also our tournament MC throughout the week.
