A legendary chapter was written in Shootout history as George Les captured a record-setting sixth Invitational Shootout title—this time with his grandson, also named George Les. The dynamic duo carded a blistering 63 (-9) to top the leaderboard and leave a legacy so long, it might need its own cart.
“This kid’s got ice in his veins and a backswing smoother than mine in ’03,” quipped the elder Les, polishing the trophy. “I told him before we teed off, ‘You just focus on bombing drives and making putts—I’ll handle the intimidation.’”
The win at the 2025 Invitational Shootout marks Les’ third different partner championship pairing, adding George Jr. to a hall-of-fame list that includes Dominic Dallio and Paul Manolitsis.
Greg Adams and Danny Hanigan
Legends Division glory went to the crafty combo of Greg Adams and Danny Hanigan, who edged out the competition with a surgical 64 (-8).
Meanwhile, in the Super Legends Division, longtime contenders Pat Grant and Jim Keaty rolled back the years—and probably a few putts—to claim victory with steady play and enough sunscreen to cover a Little League team.
Other notables:
Longest Drive: Connor Glick, who reportedly sent one 290 yards after claiming “he was just trying to keep it in play.”
Closest to Pin (Hole 3): Mickey McDonnell, who celebrated his dart by yelling, “I meant to do that!”—even before the ball landed.
Closest to Pin (Hole 17): George Les, because apparently, he’s also good at darts.
Post-round, Shootout veteran Joe Hill added, “Every year I think I’ve seen everything at this event—and then George wins again with a new partner. I’m starting to think he’s cloning them.”
As the sun set over George W. Dunne, fans and players alike buzzed about the next chapter. One thing’s for sure: the Shootout isn’t just a tournament—it’s a legacy factory.
