GASCON GOLF GROUP
Deceased golfers honored at tournament
Our Laughlin Memorial Golf Tournament continues to be a big success.
The tournament was initiated as a way to honor members that have passed, but that we remember each year. Before competition begins, passed individuals are announced, and golf shots are chipped into "Brunn Pond". Sequential chipped shots honor all members that are no longer on the playing card. Nearby Honor Guard members release balloons as further tribute.
When all souls have been recognized, the Tournament suspends play, and everyone retires to a sponsored lunch that serves both players and guests.
On the greens, it is serious, with skillful effort (and tall stories), the competitors play through to the final score.
The event ends with evening fun in Laughlin, and in the host hotel "Hospitality Suite."
Awards are called and presented at the German-American Social Club of Nevada upon return to the Las Vegas valley.
