One of my group had a cancelled flight last night and can't get in to Denver till 3pm Wednesday. Anyone headed to Mullen about that time that could rescue a stranded traveler?  Send me a PM please.

Big Ward, I have never seen a greater gathering of talent than at the CWS.  The baseball players are pretty good too.

I just wanted to wish everyone participating in the 5th Major a great time and safe travels.  Dismal River looks like a pretty amazing place and obviously the company will be pretty good too - I hope to make it out one year.  Have a great time and looking forward to seeing some photos...

What a great turnout for the 5th Major - 28 teams - playing match play within 7 flights over both the White and Red Courses - with a 7 team playoff afterwards on the Red, where the team of Raulie Weber and Eric Borchers outlasted the runners-up, Dan Kelly and Dan Moore.





Photo courtesy of Dan Moore, who is not only a terrific golfer and competitor, but a gifted photographer as well. He's shared a few of his shots with me and they are, in a word, spectacular.


Here is the tournament summary:

Flight                   Winners
201                       Dan Moore & Dan Kelly
Pappy Vanwinkle     John Kavanaugh & Randy Stoll
Iconic!                   Matt Glore & Marshall St Amant
Open Jaw               Eric Borchers & Raulie Weber
Taddy Porter          Dick Daley & Doug Siebert
Tomahawk Chops   Jimmy Gulick & Nate Gulick
Hooker's House      George Hurst & Walt Pottschmidt

2015 5th Major Champions Eric Borchers & Raulie Weber

Putting Contest Winner Dan Moore


Thank you to all of the GCAers who continue to make the effort to attend this event! I've met more great folks through GCA than likely any other group, anywhere, in my entire life. I count many of my best friends, the people I talk to on a regular basis, as either past or present GCAers, and for that I owe a debt of gratitude to Ran and Ben for providing this forum. Thank you, Gentlemen!

And, thank you, Dismal River!

Beautiful.
And if RJ won his flight it means he is playing good golf, which means his back troubles have cleared up, which is great.
And -- I think we can now say that Dan Kelly is either the best editor who plays great golf, or the best golfer who is a great editor!
I live vicariously through Eric's golfing life, and that's pretty darn good

So, if James Brown is the hardest working man in show biz,  I feel confident to say CJ is the hardest working man in golf.

Thank you Chris for an overwhelming outpouring of hospitality and the many kind words you spoke. 

Thank you Eric, Kav and the members of DR that share their awe inspiring club with so many of us for several days.  If you can ever see your way clear, my advice is to take one of these 5th Major events in..... Peter?  You will never regret the time to get there or modest $ to participate by comparison to so many other travel golf events.  I met some newer gents this time that I hadn't run into on the GCA circuit previously.  I felt like we were all part of a fellowship, more so than a frat rat sort of club; but more like people that have serendipitously come together to discover something of great common interest and uniqueness not found easily in any quarters. 

BTW,  the beef steaks were absolutely as good as it gets.   ;D

Tagging on here to say Thanks to Chris, Eric Smith and Dismal River for hosting and supporting me on my Hundred Hole Hike. We arrived a little late on Sunday so I didn't get to meet any GCA'ers departing the 5th Major, which I really wanted to do.

But Chris and head pro Joe took good care of me all day Monday (and were a little worried :) ) as I looped around the Doak course. First time to the sand hills and any golf in those parts. Hope to make it to the 5th Major next year and enjoy Dismal River at a more leisurely pace.

It was a fun time, on and off the course.  My golf was average, but the food was great.


Seeing the Dan's (the quiet assassins), the esteemed Mr. Daley back at it, and both dear old and new friends was a hoot!


Dick - it isn't work if its fun!


Ryan - Congrats on the HHH.  Well done!


Thanks to all who came out!

ok here is a no brainer for Fifth Major 2016

World college baseball series prior weekend and then roll deeper into Nebraska

Have you seen the weather, chicks, sloppy ass ballpark food and ode time baseball on right now?

I will organize Omaha; who is IN!

Wardo


Wardo - Sorry how things ended in Omaha. But your idea for 2016 could work. The 2016 College World Series is Saturday, June 18 through Tuesday/Wednesday, June 28/29. Though, that would lead into the 4th of July weekend (7/4/2016 is on a Monday) and we typically hold the 5th Major the weekend before the 4th of July weekend. Much to ponder ... Ryan H. - Congrats on your Hundred Hole Hike!

While this was my first GCA event I want to second what has already been said by many.  What a great event the 5th Major was and what a wonderful job done by Chris, Eric and both Mike's! Our Tomahawk Chop flight may not have produced the best golf but we sure found a way to have a great time!!  It was fun meeting everyone!  The golf never disappoints at Dismal River and the food is something special!  The tuna Friday night was to die for and I am now hooked on Rochefort as well!

John the tuna was out of this world as is every meal at Dismal. 


When I mentioned CJ, Eric and both Mike's earlier I should have said both Eric's-- Smith and Chef Eric!

I took a break from the superb steaks to have the tuna as well.  It was all that!  Chef Eric can really present some outstanding food.
