On July 19 – 22, 2016, the Freemont & Newark Fire Departments hosted this year’s Summer games. Special thanks go out to our hosts for running such a great event, and also thanks going out to John Laur and Leigh McArthur of the F/P Athletic Association for their assistance. Thanks guys!
72 players teed it up in beautiful and breezy conditions at Coyote Creek, (Valley & Tournament Courses), and Wente Vinyard Golf Courses. Your LAFDGC was represented by eight players taking a total of eight medals!
The following is the list of the LAFDGC winners:
• A Flight Team Low Gross: GOLD Paul Gamez/Gerry Malais
• B Flight Team Low Gross: GOLD Tony Valdez/Joe Szabados
• B Flight Individual Low Gross: GOLD Paul Gamez
• B Flight Individual Low Gross: SILVER Gerry Malais
• C Flight Individual Gross: GOLD Tony Valdez
• C Flight Individual Low Gross: BRONZE Mike Proffit
On a side note: Joe Szabados also competed in the table tennis tournament where he faced some tough competition and finished just out the medals, taking 4th place.
Congratulations and thanks for representing the LAFDGC so well. Next year’s event will be held down in San Diego. Hope to see more players there.
