San Diego AFA Golf Tournament Photos Now Available
Photos from the annual golf tournament are now available. Click here to view the gallery.
On Friday, April 16th we held our 7th Annual Chapter Golf Tournament at the Double Tree Golf Resort in Rancho Penasquitos, CA. This tournament was dedicated to developing a Scholarship Fund for AFROTC Det 075 cadets at SDSU. Therefore, we renamed it as the AFA – AFROTC Aztec Shoot-Out”. Thanks to all of you who played and/or supported the Tournament. The weather was beautiful, the course was in great shape, we had lots of fun, and we crowned a new Championship Team led by Colonel Marty Wojtysiak of Det 075. We had 48 golfers. Local and area businesses and golf courses donated approximately $7,800 in prizes, and 2 Community Partners sponsored holes. Each 4-person team won a golfing event at courses ranging from the Country Club of Rancho Bernardo to the Green Tree Course in Victorville, CA. AFROTC Cadets supported in the Tournament in many ways, including playing golf. We netted about $3,000 for the Scholarship Fund, with the first scholarships being presented this fall. Special thanks to Leo Barretto, our Tournament Director and Trident Society Community Partner, for adding his golf tournament expertise to this event. Also, thanks to Ron Harris, John Wickman, Bill McCarroll, Duke Ayers, Colonel Marty Wojtysiak, and Major Brooke Rinehart for working on the Committee. They all put in some long hours making this a successful tournament. We are looking forward to an even bigger and better tournament next year. In case you are interested, there will be other ways and opportunities to contribute to the Scholarship Fund.
