As a very young man my father taught me to play craps, poker and golf! (Not sure which one came first). As I got older he would bring me to Las Vegas and Lake Tahoe for golf, gambling and fun.
I clearly remember on one of the trips to Vegas, playing a round of golf and we were using some of the casino chips from the night before to make bets. On the back 9 my father said he has a great idea for a golf product. He said , “Let’s formalize what we have been doing by placing negative and positive tasks on real poker chips and sell it as a game! It will be a fun “On The Course” game that rewards you for the positive things you accomplish and punishes you for the hazards.”
Great idea!” I said. I remember that night we scribbled down some characters on paper with the rules. I remember asking him what we should call the game. He replied instantly, Vegas Golf, of course!” So obvious!
The Original version at the time only contained 7 chips (Positive: Birdie, 1-Putt, Negatives: Trees, Sand, Water, 3-Putt and 8-Ball). Right away I went to work on creating the funny characters that represented the positive and negative shots.
The game was first introduced as golf tee prizes in which they would and still do place sponsors logo on the back of each chip for various golf promotions. Since that time Vegas Golf has grown considerably. Vegas Golf is now sold in most of the large golf retailers in the USA. Vegas Golf is now sold in 15 different countries and is the #1 selling “On The Course” golf game in the world.
My father passed away years ago but I know he is happy to see how Vegas Golf has evolved.
