Although I had heard of the Tommy Thomas Pro-Ams for several years, November of 2020 was the first time I attended one of the Las Vegas Pro-Ams with our club members. I was very impressed with all aspects of the four day event – from the accommodations and golf courses to the dinner parties which included an open bar. Every detail was addressed, so all I had to do was enjoy time away from the club with my members. We not only had one team in the event, but our club’s PGA Director of Instruction Barbara Blanchar also fielded a team. The week we spent with eight of our lady members was both an enjoyable and rewarding time – everyone is already signed up to return to Vegas in November 2021! I can’t thank Tommy and his team enough for hosting a first class event that accommodates both male and female amateurs. I look forward to competing in more of the Tommy Thomas Pro-Ams in the future!

Tommy & Jeff,
The response I received from my members who joined me for the event was incredible. We are weeks after the event, and the members are still raving about their experience. The food and beverage was high on the list for favorite parts of the trip. The meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner were over the top excellent. The golf courses were fantastic, and the tournament was perfectly organized. A couple of members from my team kept telling me, "We've been to a lot of premier tournaments around the country, and this is the best run one of all of them." My members were tracking down Tommy throughout the event to make sure we would be on the list to receive an invitation to next years tournament. The whole event was first class, and was a great treat for me and my members. We are looking forward to seeing you guys next year!

Hi Guys,
I just wanted to drop you both a note and truly thank you for such a great week. I know first hand all about the hard work that goes into preparing for a special event like this and I must say you guys got it right. Your attention to detail, little touches and genuine friendliness to each one of my members and all the other participants certainly did not go unnoticed. It’s never easy to please everyone, but I think you both just did that!
Hopefully this is just the start to many more Pro Ams!
Look forward to seeing you both soon!!!!
Thanks again,
