Other recommended events at Walkingstick GC include: SoCo Amateur – May 2 & 3, 2009. ESPN 2-Man – June 7, 2009. These are not Men’s Club events, but participation is encouraged.

Another possible event: Cougar Canyon GC is apparently forming a Mens Club and they have asked about a possible ‘Here & There’ with the Walkingstick Mens Club. This could occur either on a consecutive Saturday & Sunday or two weekend days separated by a week or so. If there is enough interest, we will pursue such an event.
