PGA Professionals Matt Cain and Griff Jayne from the Yellowstone Club in Big Sky, Montana, took on 27 other Rocky Mountain Section PGA professional teams and defeated the elements with a birdie on the first extra hole eking out PGA Associate Professionals Brady Nelson and Zayne Slotten from Twin Falls (Idaho) Municipal Golf Course to take the 2023 RMSPGA Fall Pro-Pro presented by Cobra/Puma Golf. With efforts of 65 and 71, their two-round total of 8-under-par, 136, was good enough to earn a tie with Nelson and Slotten whose final round 67 surged them in to the playoff.
The senior division saw PGA Head Professional Tad Holloway from Timberstone Golf Course in Caldwell, Idaho, and his partner Steve Meyerhoeffer, PGA General Manager from Twin Falls (Idaho) Municipal Golf Course, capture the 2023 Fall Pro-Pro hardware beating out the duo of PGA Head Professional Mike Hamblin from Blue Lakes Country Club in Twin Falls, Idaho, and PGA Teaching Professional Tommy Sanderson from The Valley Club in Sun Valley, Idaho. Holloway and Meyerhoeffer’s 36-hole total of 68-70=138, 6-under-par, was 3 strokes clear of the second-place finishers.
Conditions were winter-like as Mother Nature provided an extra challenge with cold, wind, and some rain both days of the RMSPGA Fall Pro-Pro presented by Cobra/Puma Golf and representative Darrin Vaughan, PGA, and supported by Chris Jenkins and Charley Carlson of JC Golf Accessories, Mike Langley of Dynamic Brands, ROLEX and The PGA TOUR.
The two-round format (Better Ball of Partners in round 1 and Modified Alternate Shot for round 2) was contested at the par 72, 6,720-yard Idaho Falls Country Club on October 2-3, 2023. The Rocky Mountain Section PGA would like to extend its thanks to Jason Jacobsen, PGA General Manager, Travis Hackett, PGA Head Professional, and the always hospitable crew at Idaho Falls Country Club for hosting the event, providing wonderful course conditions and for the care shown to the competitors. The Section also extends its sincerest appreciation to the aforementioned sponsors for their kind and always generous support of the RMSPGA Fall Pro-Pro.
