The 2012 Srixon Pro-Scratch Invitational presented by Club Car will take place Sunday, July 22 and Monday, July 23 at Angel Park Golf Club in Las Vegas, NV. Over sixty, two-person teams comprised of one professional and one scratch amateur will compete for a total prize purse of more than $17,000 in a 36-hole, stroke-play, one-better-ball format.

Golfers may register for the event by contacting Angel Park Tournament Director, Ben Buck, 702.967.3213, bbuck@angelpark.com, or online at AngelPark.com.

 “Over the years, this event has attracted teams from many of the top clubs in the Las Vegas area to teams representing clubs as far away as Hawaii and Florida (and everywhere in between),” said Kris Strauss, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for OB Sports Golf Management. “Of course much of the success is entirely due to the support the event has received from Cleveland Golf, Srixon, Club Car, Bellagio Resort/Casino, Grey Goose, Southern Wine & Spirits of Nevada, Meadow Gold, Budweiser, Sysco, Miller Lite and others.”

As Strauss mentioned, the teams travel to Las Vegas from California, Arizona, Oregon, Washington, Hawaii, Florida and beyond to compete for cash, gift certificates and pride throughout the two-day event. The team entry fee for the event is $400 and it includes green fees, golf cart, unlimited practice balls, lunch following the first round, continental breakfast prior to final round, BBQ afterwards, awards ceremony and a tee gift. There is also an optional team skins competition at a cost of $20 per team per day. And, following first-round play, the “Cloud 9 Derby” kicks off with its unique sudden-death, alternate-shot format where the lowest team scores advance to the next hole until only one team remains. The field is limited to the top 15 teams (plus ties) that prepaid at registration prior to the first round. This fun-filled “event within the event” is part of local lore as the 1996 Cloud Nine Derby featured an exciting hole-in-one by local touring professional Robert Gamez on the first hole. Teams that don’t qualify will be placed in a separate purse for payout based on the results of the second round.

Angel Park Golf Club is a 36-hole facility located in the Summerlin area of Las Vegas, and professionally managed by OB Sports Golf Management. Its Mountain Course and Palm Course were both designed by Arnold Palmer. The club also has a 12-hole Cloud Nine Short Course, the World’s Original natural grass putting course and an expansive practice tee – all of which are lighted for evening enjoyment.
