Our Welcome Night Dinner and TXAPA Casino Party on Tuesday, September 17 caps off a long day on the links or at the range with a reception, full dinner buffet, and a Las Vegas-style enhanced casino experience.

After the awards ceremony is complete, enjoy the rest of the evening raking in the chips at the casino party. The more chips you win, the better your chances of winning a door prize at the end of the evening.
