I can't believe the 2nd Annual Charles Trevathan Cup is nearly here! This year, we have 12 golfers traveling to Portland, OR, then trecking down to Bandon, OR, for golf, fellowship, and fun.
The Trevathan Cuppers this year include:
Mike Conduff- Denton, TX (city manager for 25 years who now works with me on a number of fun things).
Brian Showalter- Frisco, TX (young real estate-developer-Trump-esque-tycoon that hits 400 yard drives and isn't afraid to tell you about it).
Brad Moore- Frisco, TX (insurance guru and good friend who had his two career low rounds at last year's tournament- he knows how to play well when it counts).
Casey Tipton- Dallas, TX (former high school golf phenom who still has a very salty game).
Scott Donley- Mesquite, TX (this guy knows more about the golf swing than David Ledbetter and happens to be a golf pro at Frisco Lakes).
Jim Uno- San Diego, CA (a great friend who is president of Trion:Z and a wonderful golfer).
Sean Mulherin- San Francisco, CA (best friend from high school who played golf for Texas Tech- has the most perfect, fluid golf swing you've ever seen).
Larry Kanzler- Columbia River, OR (Chief of Police in Milwaukie, OR, and Bandon expert- never misses a putt inside 10 feet).
Mike Swanson- Lake Oswego, OR (City Manager in Milwaukie, OR, and another Bandon expert who hits it down the middle all day long).
Joe Arca- Chicago, IL (good friend from the Windy City- one of the best putters I know).
Alex Mecenas- Chicago, IL (another friend from the Windy City that loves golf as much as anyone I know).
Brian Davis- Coppell, TX (just happy to be here, Clark).

On Thursday, April 3, the majority of the group will arrive at Portland International Airport at 11:30 AM and will travel twenty minutes to Heron Lakes (Blue Course) for round one. Upon completion of the first round, we will drive 4 hours to The Mill Hotel and Casino in Coos Bay, OR. After a few laughs and a few rounds on the blackjack table, we will head to our rooms and rest up for an amazing two days of "World Class" golf at Bandon Dunes Resort.
Bandon has three courses on the property (Bandon Dunes, Pacific Dunes, and Bandon Trails). All three are ranked by Golfweek.com as the "Top 10 Public Courses in the Country," and Pacific Trails is ranked #1 (over Pebble Beach)!

There are NO GOLF CARTS at Bandon and caddies are highly recommended. I have been told that sometimes, when the morning fog rolls in off of the Pacific, the fog is so think you can't see 75 yards in front of you. The caddies are so good that most can simply say, "Take out a 7-iron and aim for that piece of grass to inches in front of your ball." If you listen to the caddy and make a good swing, you'll find your ball nestled right by the cup when you can finally see the green.
Friday morning we are playing 18 holes at Pacific Dunes and Friday afternoon, we are playing 18 holes at Bandon Trails. Saturday morning we'll play 18 at Bandon Dunes and 18 at Pacific Dunes in the afternoon. The format will be Ryder Cup style with individual best ball matches and two-man team best ball matches. We will have a great time playing golf, cutting up, and sharing great stories... especially those about about our dear friend, Charles Trevathan!
Pacific Dunes- Hole 4
Bandon Trails- Hole 2
Bandon Trails- Hole 1
