27th Gold Pan Open

2005 Western States Championships

The Host with the Most

Bruce Knisley and the Final 9 team brought an all new energy to the 27th Gold Pan Open and returned one of the longest running disc golf tournaments anywhere to its former glory. For his efforts off the golf course, Knisley was rewarded on the golf course with the Western States Open Championship crown.

On the charitable front, a total of $750 was for Katrina victims. There was a closest to the pin contest (for a basket) along with a raffle. Many golfers personally donated items along with the Orangevale, Rocklin, Auburn & Mutherputters clubs to make a very large raffle.

    Does anyone know where the first Gold Pan was held? Charlie Callahan ran it for a long time–did he start it? Anyone know the history of the event?
