Amazing 3 Days of Golf on the Fazio & Norman Courses!

What an awesome 3 days of golf!!   Red Sky Ranch’s member-guest golf tournament, The Trailblazer, was an outstanding event, both on and off the golf courses.  The championship Fazio and Norman courses were in fantastic condition for this match play tourney.

The format was 5 nine hole matches, with 13 flights of golfers based on handicap, w/ each flight consisting of approx. 6 teams.  For each hole your team won, you recieved 1 point, for each halved hole, 0.5 pts. and 0 pts. for a loss respectively.  The highest cumulative point total determined the flight winners, and each winning team then advanced to the Shoot-out.  The Shoot-out was a 3 hole alternating shot playoff (scotch format), with the top 3 teams advancing to the final.

Gateway’s Doug Schwartz and his golf partner, Michael Paderewski won their flight with 29 points.  We played well during the match play, but fell apart during the shoout-out.  Amazing what a little pressure can do to you.

All in all, the courses, the staff, the food, the parties, the whole experience was about as good as it gets for any golfer anywhere!!

Runner-up Finishes For Gateway's Doug Schwartz and Steve Morris

What a great weekend of golf!!  Red Sky Ranch knows how to throw a golf tournament, (and a PARTY for that matter.)  5 nine hole match play rounds, with total points accumulated determining the flight winners.  With 6 teams in each flight, the competition was fierce and fun, right here in the Vail Valley.

Gateway’s own Steve Morris and Doug Schwartz each finished in the Runner-Up position within their respective flights.  Both played excellent golf, even if they were unable to secure the top spot and advance to the shoot-out!  For Doug and golf partner Jeff Leonardo, it came down to the final hole, and an outright birdie by their opponents left them tied atop their flight.  (the tie breaker was head-to-head play, and team Schwartz was left to watch from the gallery.)  At least there was cold beer in the gallery!

I truly had an amazing golf experience and can’t wait until next year to do it again!  To learn more about the excitement and frustrations of match play golf, (or to learn about Red Sky Ranch real estate) please contact me at the numbers or email below.
