Gary Albrecht
Originally from Minnesota, I have lived and played in Colorado since 1995. I have played golf for over 50 years, fairly well for a small part of that time. I love everything about the game: the physical challenge, scenery, camaraderie, and mental demands. I am an attorney who started his career teaching and coaching at the high school level. My true passion is working with kids. In this regard I have been fortunate to be on the board of the Colorado Golf Association, and I help train and mentor caddies as part of the Solich Caddie and Leadership Academy. It is rewarding beyond words.
I am walking in honor of my best friend and wing man, Tom Collins, who succumbed to his five-year battle with colon cancer in January of 2017. His two boys, Thompson and Patrick, attended Camp Comfort, a camp run by the Double H Ranch, my beneficiary, for children of cancer patients. Tommy loved Ballyneal!
I'm really looking forward to being a part of this great event where I can combine my passion for golf with helping others in my own small way.
MY GOAL IS TO PLAY 128 HOLES

Rockaway River Country Club
Awarded the 2009 MGWA Club of the Year, the course at Rockaway River Country Club is of moderate length; an easy walking course with but one climb at the 10th where there is a comfortable half-way house and a magnificent view down the Rockaway River. The front nine on the east bank of the river demands good length: the back nine on the west bank is slightly shorter and demands accuracy. Truly, the course is “tough for the tigers, easy for the rabbits”, challenging for the low handicapper, pleasurable for the average player.
