and one room; Double Occupancy (GC Am
Tour Member) is $825 each for two entries
and one hotel room; Single (non-GC Am Tour
Member) is $975; Double (non-GC Am Tour
Member) is $875. Hotel stays (at Planet Hol-
lywood) will be Tuesday through Thursday,
but additional nights are available through the
event coordinators.
And then there’s the tournament itself.
Many players have teed it up in events where
100 players have been entered. Well, this one
dwarfs just about any event players have par-
ticipated in anywhere. There will be another
sellout field of 432 golfers. That’s three full golf
courses in action all at once. An added bonus
is that the event is held right before Super
Bowl weekend.
“The tournament, the Big Game, and Las
Vegas—that’s a pretty good combination,”
Adamek says.
It’s a daunting yet impressive undertaking
for the Las Vegas Paiute Golf Resort staff as
well as the Am Tour staff. “That’s the beauty
of it,” Adamek says. “We just want them to
come out and enjoy the event. We hope they
don’t realize how much work is involved. That
means it’s going smoothly and that’s great. We
have guys who have played in all 15 of them
and it’s their favorite event.” And that encom-
passes a lot of events on the schedule, as The
Golf Channel features about 700 per year.
“If I could still play in these events, this is
definitely the one event I would sign up for ev-
ery year,” Adamek says. “We just love coming
out to Las Vegas.”
