The 15th Annual Danny Noonan Invitational was contested on May 14th-17th, 2015 in beautiful Mesquite, Nevada. With many returnees from previous Noonans, this event was set up to be an epic battle between two teams.
Unfortunately, one team didn't show up! The Red Team, Captained by Mike Quam, put a good ol' fashioned butt whipping on the Green Team!
The Red Team swept the board in the Thursday Match Play Scramble event, getting out to a 5-0 lead....and they never looked back! In the most lopsided event in Noonan History, the Red Team captured the Noonan Cup by a resounding score of 24-11.
This drubbing has promoted the idea of Team Captains DRAFTING their team in future years, which the Commissioner has taken under serious consideration. Below are the match results and some photos that highlight the 2015 Event! Enjoy!
