I know, I know. And I am sorry, but this blog was started to talk about Gallup golfers, so as an update, while I still can, I can't help but brag a little about some of our friends who we

nt to Grants and to see if they could tame a few coyotes... and, they did! In a late year display of putting and accurate iron shots,
Gary Leloff &
David Haynes paired up to win the
"Coyote Shuffle" at beautiful
Coyote del Malpais in Grants, NM. Several other Gallup tea

ms entered this popular event that is played over 36 holes: 9 on Saturday and 27 on Sunday.
The unique format calls for 9 holes "cross country" on Saturday, nine regular holes on Saturday and the contestants finish with 18 Par-3

Holes...
this is where accurate

irons shots become a priority over 300 yard drives: Gary, known for his consistent putting prowess and his iron shots "when he says he is on" (many of us think he is always "on" with the irons), and David, known for his length with the driver and low shots that bore into the wind, combined their skills over the two days of competition and won by one, 139-140, over two coyote

pairs:
Carlos Moncada &
Orlando Romero and
Emerson Vallo &
Phil Vallo.
Coming in 4
th (143) were Mayor
Joe Murietta &
Leon Gonzales. Gallup's pair of
Tommy Pino &
Andrew Dominguez were in 5
th place at 144. Among other Gallup golfers who participated were
Scott Hamilton &
Bill Terrazas. THIS, TO MY KNOWLEGE, WAS A FIRST, AS USUALLY LOCAL KNOWLEGE PREVAILS...
COME ON!! DON'T ANYONE PACK THEIR CLUBS YET!
