Vegas PGA of America Pros Honored For Excellence
There are many Las Vegas golfers that are the heart and soul of Las Vegas’ golf courses, and several were honored at the annual PGA of America, Southwest Section, Las Vegas Chapter awards dinner. The event was held at Las Vegas golf course TPC Summerlin–host course of Las Vegas’ PGA Tour event, the Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospitals for Children Open–and honorees received awards in categories such as Pro of the Year, Player of the Year, Person of the Year, and Junior Golf Leader of the Year.

Jack Nicklaus’ First Words About Reflection Bay GC
Whenever Jack Nicklaus hits Las Vegas, it’s a big deal. But flash back to the mid nineties–when Nicklaus was knee deep in the creation of his first two Las Vegas golf courses and a guy named Tiger was just hitting the scene–and those visits were extra special because there was still no denying who the biggest name in golf was. Nicklaus first designed the private SouthShore Golf Club at Lake Las Vegas Resort but soon followed with Reflection Bay Golf Club, Las Vegas’ first Nicklaus resort golf course. “It’s not often you get the opportunity on a body of water like this, in a setting like Lake Las Vegas, to design a golf course,” Nicklaus told this writer.

Robert Gamez ‘Remembers’ Record at Painted Desert
Robert Gamez, who grew up playing on Las Vegas golf courses, was the 1990 Rookie of the Year on the PGA Tour. He won two events that year, including his first official start on the PGA Tour, the Northern Telecom Tucson Open, but then didn’t win again until the 2005 Valero Texas Open. But back in 1992*, Gamez fired a 10-under par 62 at Painted Desert Golf Club. That round still stands as the official course record.
