The Desert Nomads Golf Club is proud to announce the details of Slyder Cup 23, the club's main annual
event. The Slyder Cup Invitational, a team event in the Ryder Cup format, will be going back to
Prescott, Arizona with Captains Brad Dugas and John Crawford. The Nomads are back on Whiskey Row since
2018 now that probation is over.
Believe it or not, it has been 15 years since Captains Crawford and Jackson found themselves tied at the
end of regulation at Antelope Hills North. Playing hole #1 in sudden death, a slight dog leg right,
Captain Crawford selected Mike Paulson and Terry Seibel for his twosome while Captain Jackson selected
Brad Dugas and himself. Winning the coin toss, Team Jackson elected to go first and what proceeded was
the drive that has lived in infamy. Although rumored to be over 400 yards, Dougie hit a bomb of
approximately 360 yards to the front of the green making the heads of Team Crawford turn toward their
shoes. After Mike Paulson's aggressive approach searching for birdie went long over the back of the
green, Team Jackson's victory was sealed.
This year Captain Crawford gets a chance to avenge the man who stole the cup from him in 2008.
Meanwhile, Captain Dugas has his own demons being on the losing end as Captain in one of the most
dramatic finishes in Slyder Cup history in 2010. Are we in for another playoff in 2023? DON'T MISS IT!
