The 2011 Gentlemen's Club Challenge, Presented by the Las Vegas Disc Golf Club and DiscGolfValues.com, is a go!

On-line sign-ups available on PDGA's site. Paper sign-ups available on PDGA site and at lvbagtag.com.

Current registration list updated on PDGA's site.

More information forthcoming...

The GCC was the number 1 Pro A-Tier event (based on Pro Purse Payout) for the last three years. Our 2011 NT application was denied, but I am positive we will be the #1 A-Tier event again in 2011, and doubt we will ever be an NT unless the NT schedule is expanded.

Last year Am payback was 134% with 137 players. We changed the 2011 Am schedule to be a three-day event, via tee time. Friday and Saturday rounds will be around 24 holes, while the final round on Sunday will be the 18-hole Pro layout. We can accommodate 175 Am players this year! Around a $30 player package, including two discs you can't buy!

Pro payback last year was 152% (excluding player packages values and other goodies) with 149 players and 185% payback with all goodies included (CTPs, Aces, ect.). Format the same as last year (one round a day of a super long course, over three days).

Ace Pool for the longest Ace each round for each weekend. Also have a putting contest and a mini CTP contest each weekend on Sunday before you tee for a mini basket.

Am raffle is growing (over $500 in the pool so far) and pro Silent Auction is huge so far (will be posted soon at lvbagtag.com). Also, Escorted by a Pro is happening again, so place your bids!

The 2011 GCC has a HUGE title sponsor...DiscGolfValues.com. Mark Molnar is sponsoring 400 champion-line discs, valued at around $3,400. (WAY TO Go DISCGOLFVALUES!)

The LVDGC is sponsoring $1,000, the 2010 Las Vegas Halloween Classic is sponsoring $500, The Syndiscate is sponsoring $500, the 2010 GCC Silent Auction is sponsorsing $170, final 2010 GCC financial corrections will add around $2,000, non-lvdgc fees will likely add around $1,000, the Am raffle will likely add around $500, the Pro Silent Auction will likely add around $1,500, the Escorted by a Pro will likely add around $300...but that is not it!

More sponsors are coming! Mike Milne sponsored $100, Rich Murray sponsored $100, Keith Johnson sponsored $40, Jon Canonico sponsored $40, the TD will sponsor at least $100, the first version of the 50 INNColor discs will add $750, the second version of the 50 INNColor discs (being ran now) will add $750, the 200 CFR discs (including Glow flat-top Firebirds, Glow Bosses, some Champion Gators and Vulcans) will add $2,000, the 50 TRF discs (Starfire-long and Teebird-long) will add $250, the 100 bottom-stamped Beasts (in honor of Barry Schultz, the guy that OWNS the GCC) should add around $350 to $400, the 100 Star discs should add around $400, the 100 Champion discs should add around $400, the 100 Pro discs should add around $300, and the Innova Support Package should add around $1,000.

The Pro weekend has a NT dress code, and the Am weekend is being requested to meet the NT dress code, but not required.

Di8scGolfValues.com has a limited number of 2011 GCC discs for sale. They are going quickly (including 150 Champion Vulcans...gone).

You can also sign up your 2011 LVDGC membership through the 2011 GCC PDGA on-line sign up for the tournament. For $15 (the Bronze membership), you get $5 off your PDGA annual fe (unless already paid), $5 off the GCC, $5 off our future 100 Holes from Hell (4 rounds of 25 holes in one day...end of June), $5 off our Duos Duel in the Desert tournament, and $5 off the Las Vegas Halloween Classic...plus 25% off our local merchandise. The $30 (the Silver membership level), you get all that previously listed plus a Champion 2011 LVDGC hot-stamped Valkyrie. For $60 (the Gold membership), you get all that previously listed plus one of 40 INNColor 2011 LVDGC disc.

Thanks again to DiscGolfValues.com and Innova for stepping up and supporting the PDGA's #1 Pro event!

We will likely fill up a few weeks before each tournament, so sign up sooner than later.

Oh ya...the caddie book is better that any other caddie book I've seen...except the USDGC (of course).

Any questions, please post here.

Wow, I'm no math wiz but by some simple calculations (adding with a calculator ;p) thats over $14,000 added already. Can't wait to get this years tournament season started right here in Las Vegas.

Entries updated. Pros 1/4 full. Entries coming in pretty steady.

More sponsorships!!! Laurie Cloyes for 40!

Entries updated! Latest USDGC champ is coming!

More sponsorships. $100 from Dr. Kenneth Cox (dentist located right across the street from teepad #17)!

Silent Auction bids coming in! (Thanks "The Chad" Francis, PDGA 30662, for the $100 bid on two 1970s Star War frisbees!) Go to www.lvbagtag to check them out. Some collector items being listed!!!

Escorted by a Pro bids coming in. (I am pretty sure I heard all the Pros who volunteered last year say they'd do it again...especially since it raised $600 for the Pro Weekend!) You'd tee at Noon the Thursday before the GCC.

Whats up locals. Get your registrations in.

Entries updated.

More sponsorships! Christian Cullen (turns 50 this year) $40. I hear huklab will be sending $300 in merchandise...and if the new daddy can pull it off (congratulations Jay!), might be at the Pro weekend of the GCC to sell his goods. Also hear Sierra Nevada donating some goodies (thanks Arek!). Don't know the details yet, but last year was a lot of cool items...including 24 cases of beer!

Escorted by the Pros will be updated soon. Paul McBeth and Will Schusterick are being added to the list. Other pros are being removed until we verify that they are still interested. Place your bids now!!! You'd play at Noon on 2/24 at Sunset Park, front 18 holes.

Pro layout is looking awesome! (Thanks Cary & Steve!!!) Hole 11 an island hole, with an elevated basket. Also, like the Memorial, lots of ob lines being added to clearly separate the fairways. Only the pin placement will change each round Pro weekend. I don't think anything else will change.

Sunday round for the Ams will match the Pro layout.

Any questions, post here for all to see.

just signed up today cant wait. Boise in the house lol

Welcome to the Desert Boise. If you have any questions we can help with let us know.

Looking forward to coming back to play the GCC and hopefully play better than last year. One question though: There is conflicting info on how many holes the Ams play. The front page of the website says 3 rounds of 18 but here it says 2 rounds of 24 and one round of 18. Which is right?

as i understand the latter is correct. 2 rounds of 24 normal layout with sunday being 18 holes of the GCC pro layout.....pretty long par 60

Hey all.
The Gentlemen's Cup is the first big event of the 2011 touring season and we would like some great pictures from Nevada for the next issue of DiscGolfer.

If you have a good camera and are going to be there then please contact me and I'll give you some info that will help in securing magazine quality images.

Thanks

Is there a map of the pro layout? Just to have an idea of what it's like.

Map might be available within a week or two. Both weekends are playing a very extended 18-hole lay out each day. The Ams will play almost the same layout as the Pros last year. Each weekend will also have their own island hole (just like USDGC). Pro weekend almost same layout as last year, BUT will have many O.B. lines added separating fairways (just like the Memorial).

I screwed up on the entry fees for the Am weekend. Each Am sign-up will get $10 back at check in.

More sponsorships...the LVDGC is kicking in another $500 (for a total of $1,500), Jon Canonico for $40, Francis Albanese for $40, the Doubles Crews for another $120, another $250 add with our quick sales of the first run Star Vulcan.

Escorted by a Pro list up at lvbagtag.com. Barry Schultz will be here for both Pro and Am weekend, so all you out-of-town Ams can bid on playing with Barry Schultz the Thursday before the Am weekend (2/17 at Noon).

Silent Auction bids coming in. They also are being updated at www.lvbagtag.com.

Maps posted on lvbagtag.com. Course designers made an NT layout for the Pros, and a pretty competative layout for the ams.

Looks like total sponsorships will be around $20,000...if we can sell all our fund-raiser discs.

Looks like total costs to run both weekends is around $12,000.

So, looks like around $8,000 or so added to the GCC.

The MPG field will likely exceed the Memorial after this weekend local sign ups.

More sponsorships...$300 from the Blue Ox, $100 from Fat Tuesdays, $40 from Jimmy Daughenbaugh, lots of goodies from Sierra Nevada (and I mean a lot); huges discount on tournament needs from IFA Country Stores for hay bales (yes, another island hole each weekend), Millennium awards (wait until you see the wine and pilsner glasses you can bid on or win in the raffle), La Quinta (donating a room for the raffle), and Cazadores Tequila (shot specials by the girls at each award ceremony).

Over $800 in raffle goods.

silent Auction will grow after am weekend...like crazy.

Escorted by the Pros is coming along great!!!

Get you sign ups in now. #1 Pro A-Tier event for 2011...I'd bet! (And I do live in Vegas so I am a betting man!!!)

Blue Ox!!! Woooot!! Best chicken tenders in the world!!!

More sponsorships! $100 from Hussong's Cantina Taqueria. (Might host a party or food next year!). $250 from the Senior Grant Foundation Program. (Thanks Peter Shive!)

Only 82 ams. What is up? I will still take last minute sign ups until 5PM on Thursday night at the Blue Ox.

Pro weekend - We will have a MPL division! Might only be two, but we will have a division!!!

And more sponsorships!!! Steve Berger $40. Ameya Leitera $40.

Saturday Night Adult Player's Party - Crazy Horse 3 (near Russell and I-15) from 8 PM to 11 PM. Free entry with wrist band, 1 free drink with wrist band, 1/2 drinks thereafter with wrist band. Free limo services to Crazy Horse 3 if you call them and ask. Dress code is business casual. No baggy jeans, t-shirts, hats, or jerseys.

I know there are a few "pros" in town that probably qualify to play for the AM weekend. Why don't you guys sign up and play AM and then maybe you might actually cash in the open after an extra weekend of practice on this LONG layout.

good luck everybody... gcc is the richest A tier event in the usa!!! and its a blast. thanks to jeff jacqart and all the people who pitch in evey year. i love you all.

PDGA site is not working for loading up tee times. Check lvbagtag.com in a few hours.

Both the GCC and the Halloween Classic are fantastic events. Excellently run and organized, super phat payouts, and of course it's Vegas. :) You should play each at least once.

Go Justin Brown, bring it home.

Just wanted to say thank you to all the staff and to the competitors. It is true that it takes a LOT of volunteers to help make an event a success but without the competitors who came out to play there is no event. So thank you to everyone that played but especially to all of the out of towners who came to Vegas play this past weekend at the AM GCC 2011!

Pro first round scores up. Very, very windy with gusts nearing 50 mph.

Hey I was down there last weekend for my Wife's Birthday and her parents 40th anniversary and it was the coldest I remember it being in February. There was no disc golf for me but I did win on the craps table, thanks Bills Gambling Hall and Casino.

It was windy last weekend but no where near 50+ winds. What time of day was it the worst?

Oh yeah the Blue Martini is awesome bar, many many beautiful people. However there was a dress code enforced while we were there.

where's feldberg?

Feldberg got sick.

Winds were not as bad as Friday, but still gusting up to 30 mpg.

We lost two tents on Friday.

At 6:30 AM on Saturday, there was a bit of snow falling, but melted right away.

Most staff have bad wind burns on their faces and hands.

From what I heard, quite a few top pros like mccabe, rico, fedlberg, climo, and anthon etc got sick with the weather change or something...

Hey, I played 1 &1/2 rounds with a broken right ring finger after shooting 1000 rated golf in the 50+MPH winds on FRI and still came in last cash, so those guys coulda played "SICK" if they wanted to. :)
