The Butter Cow - Aug 8-9. GPGC Major and NIT spot

Butter Cow Sweet Butter Cow, August 8-9, 2025 is when for 2 (or 3) unforgettable days in August, everyone can find their favorite food, ride, game, entertainment and most importantly, GOLF competition. Memories are made with every hook into the RV park at Coldwater, every tree smacked at Veenker, and every exhausting hill climbed at Waveland. We’ll also hit up our sweetest tradition at the Craft Beer Tent again where every sip feels like coming home.

*once again, totally not stolen from state fair website.

Join @GreatPlainsGC as we run it back for the 4th year of retracing our beloved @MerchCzar @Randy @djpie steps while competing for THE BUTTER COW TROPHY and a spot in THE NIT.

After the golf is settled throw on your finest fair kit as we caravan over to the fairgrounds for many coooold beers, fried foods, live music, and people watching. (MANDATORY, not really, but kinda :grin:)

I have unfinished business to attend to at Veenker after a Top 10 finish in the 2004 Iowa Games. This is easily the most exciting thing on my 2025 calendar.

Am I coming back to Iowa? God last time I left Ames it was -20 with the windchill what do the models say about the weather?

Could be anything but in general the weather should be fine. The only thing would be Coldwater being a little wet almost all the time.
