THANKS FOR HIGH SCHOOL INVITATIONAL SPONSORSHIP
In a note to CCMGA President, Don Chambers, Diane Escobedo,
Cave Creek's Lead Professional, wrote in part, "On September
4, 2004, thirteen boys' teams and four girls' teams were treated
to some great competition, lunch and awards sponsored by the Cave
Creek Men's Golf Association.As always, I received many thanks
from the kids and coaches on what a great tournament this is.
They wanted me to make sure you were all thanked, THANK YOU!....
Mike and I personally want to thank your volunteers for their
expert monitoring of the kids as they teed off and while out
on the golf course. They did a great job. We couldn't have done
it without them. Thank you once again. You are the best!!!"
