NM Tech Golf Tournament Set for September

by Thomas Guengerich

Socorro: New Mexico's largest one-day fundraising golf tournament will be Friday, Sept. 19, at the New Mexico Tech Golf Course in Socorro.

The 14th Annual President's Club Golf Tournament, hosted by Tech President Dr. Daniel H. López is filling up fast.

The event includes 32 groups — 128 players — for a morning flight and again for an afternoon flight. Tech raises more than $150,000 every year during the one-day event.

The event requires an army of volunteers from nearly every department on campus. Top finishes in each flight get prizes, but the true winners are the students.

"We call it a tournament," López said. "But it's truly a fun event that helps students. We designed this tournament to be focused on the university, not on competitive golf. "
