Kicks Off 2017 Season
in Las Vegas
Garrett and Tom Shaal traveled to Las Vegas for the
19th annual AGEM/AGA Golf Classic presented by JCM
Global. The event was held on Tuesday, April 25, 2017.
This year, the event returned to the award-winning and
breathtaking greens of Cascata in Boulder City, Nevada,
a course that defines luxury golfing. Cascata, Italian for
“waterfall,” is aptly named. A 418-foot waterfall from the
steep mountainside towering above the driving range,
meandering through the practice facilities, cascading
into a river that roars through the clubhouse, eventually
culminating in a tranquil stream. The air is pure, the si-
lence beyond description. Cascata is currently ranked
among the top 100 golf courses you can play.
TOPGOLF of Las Vegas provided $3,300 in prizes to the winners of the Wedge Works Com-
petition. The wedge competition featured a golf target provided by Target Golf Association.
First prize in this short iron event was a TOPGOLF of Las Vegas ultimate VIP experience valued
at $2,500. AGEM/AGA Golf Classic participants also competed in a long drive competition
after they played 18 spectacular holes of golf.
The event is one of the gaming industry’s premier events, attracting players and sponsors
from across the industry and around the world. Proceeds benefited the National Center for
Responsible Gaming, and to date, the golf classic has raised more than $1.5 million to ad-
vance the NCRG’s important research.
