The RE/MAX-Jun 23

How did we come to host the RE/MAX??  Long story.  In 1993, I competed in the RE/MAX in Minneapolis, Minnesota.  My interest in the Long Drive was heightened by generally always being able to hit the ball long, although not as long as some people I had played with over the years in competetive golf.  Two individuals stand out as "long knockers," I had played with over the years, one was John Long, who I attended USD with during the late 1970s, and who I played in "short stops," with; and the other was Dave Preheim from Watertown.  Those were two (2) guys who could knock it a mile.
In any event, I generally could win long drives in tournaments, or during mens days, but I wanted to see how I stacked up against the real "big hitters."  Unfortunately, even using a borrowed John Daly "Whale," I didn't even come close.  I put one out past 270, but on the day of the event in Mpls., the wind was about 45 mph into your face, and the range was hitting into a hill at an angle of about the 12th at Meadowbrook, if you were hitting from the green down to uphill.
That passed, and some years later, while living in Mesquite, Nevada; the RE/MAX finals were hosted there, where they still are today.
My interest grabbed me about 3-4 years ago; in looking for opportunities to do something further with my life; when, I began looking for acreage for an investment, with the long-term goal of eventually turning the driving range into a park-model trailer development.  I needed a flat piece of ground, at least 300' deep; which this ground is; yet, at some point wanting to put in an indoor facility similar to "World of Golf," formerly on Jackson Blvd., and before that, in the strip mall, just off of Catron Boulevard.  Eventually, want to have an indoor facility, with a miniature golf course on the east end of the property. 
THEN...a development in between the two facilities, similar to desertskiesresort.com, where I lived in Mesquite.  This development would be ideal, particularly in this area.
Hence, the RE/MAX; and hopefully a long term relationship with one of my best partners in life...GOLF!!!
