From the 2nd to the 9th of December this year, GolFantasy, the “dream week of golf”, will be celebrated at the Casa de Campo resort and it has just been announced that Top 10 All-Time Money Leaders on the Champions Tour; Bruce Fleisher & Jim Thorpehave joined the events “talent roster”.
GolFantasy, a legendary vacation and ultimate fantasy for all golf enthusiast, gives amateur golfers the opportunity to play alongside touring professionals – on some of the world’s best golf courses; the Pete Dye designed courses (Teeth of the Dog, Dye Fore and Links) at the World’s Leading Golf Resort – Casa de Campo. The event which is back by popular demand is for both national and international golfers who will be playing in groups of four or five and will include clinics, tournaments, Q&A forums, individualized instruction, exhibitions and daily contests (with special prizes) as well as a few off-site excursions!
Fleisher is the 5th leading All-time Money Winner in Champions Tour history with 18 victories, and Thorpe is 7th, with 13 victories.
“We are thrilled to have Bruce Fleisher and Jim Thorpe at GolFantasy. These are the exact right guys for our event – Bruce is a great guy, a technical expert who is also an excellent instructor. Every guest that plays alongside Bruce will improve their game. And Jim is such a fun guy, colorful and with a lot of flair. We’ve got a quite a talent lineup assembled for December.”
— Howie Hacker, producer of GolFantasy
Mark Lye has also been added to the talent roster for GolFantasy. Lye’s 18-year PGA Tour career included 40 top-10 finishes, and golf enthusiasts know him well as the current on-course reporter and tower analyst for Golf Channel’s coverage of both the Nationwide and PGA Tours.
“I like GolFantasy because it’s a leisure vacation and the golf becomes part of an overall social interaction. Guests get a rare chance to really get to know Pros they watch on TV or in the gallery. GolFantasy delivers on all fronts – great golfing, top tier instruction, and the insight into how we as golf Pros approach the game mentally and how our on-course and off-course lives intertwine. It’s a unique experience for any golf enthusiast. I am even bringing my wife and two kids along and I’m really looking forward to hanging out in beautiful Casa de Campo.”

“John Daly told me to lie down on the grass. He put a tee on my head and whacked it 350 yards off that tee. Where else but GolFantasy could that happen?”
