June 18 was a four-man Cottonwood Palo Verde team to beat the pros of Cottonwood and Palo Verde. The pros had a bad day on the course, so most of the 30 teams were victorious. The June 25 outing was canceled due to the storm damage earlier in the week.
July events included the Ace of Aces Qualifier, a two-man pick your partner low gross/low net combined score competition, an A-D versus B-C team play, and an ABCD team challenge.
