FIREFIGHTERS TOURNAMENT COMING UP...
NOTICE:
IT WAS MOVED TO AUGUST 1st, 2010 TO GRANTS N.M. FOR MORE INFORMATION CALL EDDY JARAMILLO AT: 505-870-0576
The annual Firefighters tournament is coming up in Sunday July 25th. According to Eddy Jaramillo (pictured with his team last year (Adam Archuleta, left, and Ramon Guerrero, watching the break), there will be at least 20 (twenty four) 3-Man teams.
This is not only a fundraiser for the Firefighters of Gallup, but over the years, it has become a family tournament, with several families attending the event, even if not playing. You can enter the tournament by calling the pro-shop at 863-9224. You can make your own team or you can sign individually and you will be placed two other golfers in a team. Play will be in sixsomes and teams will be handicapped (teams will receive a percentage of the team's total handicap). You can also call Eddy Jaramillo at 870-0576.
Outside my house, no one closer to me in Gallup.. and no better teacher.
