Our PCM9GA group made the most of the seasonal October reseeding necessitated closing of our PebbleCreek Golf Courses by conducting a total of four off campus 18 hole tournaments, utilizing Falcon Dunes on October 15, Coyote Lakes on October 22, Sundance on October 29 and finally the local Palm Valley Lakes Course on November 5. Kudos to PCM9GA President Ray Clements and his ever innovative executive board and committee members for making these 18 hole events highly interesting and they all included a group lunch after each event as well as door prizes.
