The Eastern New Mexico Golf Association’s (ENMSGA) initial tournament of 2016 occurred Tuesday, March 8, at New Mexico Military Institute in Roswell.
Ninety-four players enjoyed a great tournament, thanks to golf pro Crae Fields, Gary Doerhoefer and the rest of their staff, and Mike Jackson, our tournament chairman. We had eight new members that played to set their association handicap and two guest players. Schlotzsky’s Deli provided the meal following the golf.
