Inn of the Mountain Gods Recap

|
The Clash in the Clouds was another memorable stop on the 2026 season!
Held on June 14th, we welcomed 53 players for this beautiful out-of-town event. The weather was nearly perfect, with temperatures in the 60s throughout the day, creating ideal conditions for some outstanding golf.
Nestled in the mountains, Inn of the Mountain Gods always provides a unique experience and a challenging test for every player. Between the scenery, the competition, and another great turnout from our members, this event was a huge success.
A huge thank you to Inn of the Mountain Gods Golf Course for hosting us. We always look forward to making the trip to one of the most scenic venues on our schedule!

Tournament Results
|
Champ Flight
For at least the front nine we would see a battle with only three strokes being the difference for our Leader. But starting the back nine with back to back birdies, would put the pressure on everyone else to catch up. In the end our leader would have a one under back nine to become our champion. Will Schaffer would once again be victorious with a +1 (73), marking this his 3rd TOUR WIN THIS SEASON & BACK TO BACK VICTORIES!

A Flight
This flight was packed with talent. We saw some new faces, some faces we haven't seen in a while and the ones that come out every event to become a champion. At the turn it was a tigh race with at least two strokes seperating the field from the leader. But the leader would have a strech of 5 BIRDIES and and a consitent even par on the front and back to take the championship. Alex Jasso would return to the the winner circle (FIRST ROUND IN A NEW FLIGHT) with a EVEN PAR (72) and making this his 4th TOUR VICTORY THIS SEASON! One in C Flight, B Flight and now A Flight!!! Matthew Holguin would take the second place after the scorecard playoff over Billy Hinojos with a +5 (77).

B Flight
We would see a battle for most of the day in this flight. We had one member go one under through six holes to take an early lead, but at the turn would see him fall behind. The back nine would see a lot of low scores but the leader would see himself at one under through sixteen holes and cruising to victory. In the end, The Ghost - Chris Rocha would see himself back in the winners sircle after a two year hiatis with a +1 (73), securing his 21st TOUR WIN OVERALL!!! Jordan Morrow would give it a good try but would eventually take another second place finish with a +9 (81). NEW MEMBER Steven Campbell would take third after a scorecard playoff over Roy Littleton with a +11 (83).

C Flight
Anything could happen in this flight with everyone having to battle the course and the rain storm that was approaching. At the turn our leader would have a slim lead against more than half the field. The difference would be the last three holes, were the leader would bogey all three, and let another member come back and tie him with three straight pars, and a nervous final putt with everyone watching. We would need a one hole playoff with a hole nest to the clubhouse, were a group of members would stay watching to the very end. After the playoff, Stephanie Cieslik would return to the winners circle with a +11 (83), marking her 10th VICTORY OVERALL! Ruben Herrera would take second place after the playoff.
Ruben Herrera & Orlando Almeida

D Flight
This flight always has oppurtunity for anyone to win and one Member would take the chance and run with it. At the turn, half the field had a chance to take the lead with our leader having a slim one stroke lead. But a very strong back nine, our champion would have a round of his life no matter who would try and make a comeback. Nique Woods-Shells would finally get out of the second place shadow and make a claim to victory with a +7 (79), marking this his FIRST VICTORY OVERALL!!! Steven Trevizo would take second with a +10 (82). Manny Munoz would take third with a +13 (85).
With our BIGGEST PROMOTION EVER,
