Last week the Dewsweepers flew out to Las Vegas and played in a charity golf tourney at the beautiful Summerlin Golf Club. The event is hosted every year by Dewsweeper friends that have NEO roots, and relocated to Vegas a few years ago. Al and Tammi DelSangro own a fantastic Italian themed restaurant in Vegas called Giuseppe's, and this is their annual outing.
It was played again Summerlin, which is a really great golf course set in a housing community that is a joy to play. This is the 3rd time I've played this course, the second time I've played a scramble there. Summerlin is a typical desert course. It is relatively open with generous fairways, and reasonable amount of sand protecting the greens. There is a small "lake" or two, they are really just retention ponds,. but your ball can get just as lost in there as an actual lake.
This is always a nice tourney that locals, and many peeps from out of town come into play. We came into town and our team featured Dewsweepers me, Beef, Dirk and B-Roz. The 4 man scramble event does tee off early about 730, and wrapped up around 1pm. Which is a good thing because that particular Saturday the temp was 107 when we had a few holes to play. Good thing we ran across our friend Dr. Drey on the course who is a Vegas dentist and he suggested "The Dr. Drey Cooling System." Which included pouring ice and ice water down our backs. You kind of had to bear down and get through it, but it did work, and helped get through the last few holes.
Our team finished 11 under par for the day, good enough for second place in the outing, 13 under ruled the day. But Beef did win long drive for the day, and picked up a new golf bag - nice job!
Summerlin is another course that is totally worth putting on your list when you make a Vegas desert golf run. Located in the Sun City Center. Always in good shape, and always a fun time. Always feels good too, to help support charity nand tee itup at the same time!
