One of the greatest rewards I have received by volunteering for NMFMA has been the joy of bringing fun, entertaining networking opportunities and social activities to our membership.

Several years ago, I was able to participate in the San Juan County Employee Golf Tournament. I had not played golf before and due to the format, including a toilet seat around one cup, water noodle maze on one of the greens, and several other fun challenges, I fell in love with the sport. I have always enjoyed Put Put Golf and the obstacles appealed to that history.

Last November, several people mentioned they would like to play the golf course next to our hotel and that sparked a discussion about a golf tournament. Working with Tyler Ashton from Wilson & Co, we have gathered logistical options for a possible tournament. We hope to bring in all skill levels and include some of the Put Put like entertainments to entice those new to the sport. There will be the usual tournament challenges, such as closest to the hole and longest drive, for the more skilled among us.

For those who are not yet ready to step out on the course, but would like to be part of the fun, we will have plenty of volunteer positions to fill. You can fill out the survey or contact myself and Tyler directly if you would like to be part of the Golf Crew. (I will not be afraid to force recruit, bribe, beg, etc. as needed)

The survey link at the beginning of the blog will determine if we have enough interest to put the tournament on this year.

With an adult beverage in hand, your drink fairy,

Michele
