Monarch Beach, CA – April 2025
You never know what kind of magic the coast will deliver—and this year’s “Favorite Time of the Year – Par 3 Shootout” at Monarch Beach Golf Links proved just that.
What started as a hopeful sunny SoCal day quickly turned into a fog-filled showdown. But if you know this crew, you know a little weather won’t stop the vibes—or the competition.
Hosted by Tony Lanza, Director of Golf at MBGL, the annual Par 3 Shootout brought together local favorites, community regulars, and some surprise faces for a day full of energy, laughs, and some pretty clutch short-game performances.
The highlight of the event? Mr. Gabo Style himself taking the win with a cool even-par 27, reminding everyone that style and skill can absolutely go hand in hand.
“Playing our home course with a different look is always fun and challenging.” – Gabo Style
