The 18th Annual Danny Noonan Invitational was held in Mesquite, Nevada, with accommodations at the Rising Star Sports Ranch.
This is the first year we had a "Corporate Sponsor", with the firm of Botkin & Bailey providing their famous drink along with some giveaways (see the Mike Clem Spirit Stein page for details).
Gerry Fricke and Gerry's Friend Bill (also his son) were the Team Captains for the annual Noonan Cup. Gerry's Team went out to an early lead and never looked back, winning the Noonan Cup by margin of 12 to 6.5.
Along with the corporate sponsors, we had interesting happenings like Mike "745" Quam (see the Gopher Award page), Cal & Ger winning the Horserace (see the Noonan Horserace page for details) and overall good humor.
