PVC Alumni Golf Tournament
Blythe Municipal hosts first Palo Verde College Alumni Tourney
By Randy Peterson
PVC Class of 1967
A small but enthusiastic crew of players participated in the Palo Verde College Alumni
Golf Tournament on May 17 at Blythe Municipal Golf Course. The tournament used the
ever-popular scramble format.
The team captained by Randy Peterson claimed the title as they rallied for five birdies
and an eagle on the back nine to fire a seven-under-par 29 for the side. Joining Peterson
on the squad that managed a four-under-par 33 on the front nine and a winning total
of 62 were Pete Garcia, Manuel Rodriguez and Ronnie Blackwood along with Clancy and
Millie Osborne.
Oscar Galvan's team of Joe Cota, Adam Garcia, Alvaro Saldana and Gabe Vega led after
nine holes thanks to a six-under 31 on the side. A four-under 32 on the back nine
allowed the victors to pull of the one-stroke victory.
Third place went to the team of Adrian Linares, Joey Jimenez, Paul Stewart, Robert
Lopez and Lee Reynolds as they completed the 18-hole circuit with a 66 total.
Joe Cota headed the organization of the inaugural event and expects to see it grow
into a most popular event.
Cota thanked the City of Blythe for its help in support of the event as well as the
sponsors -- Coca Cola and Rick Copple, Danny Doyle and Valley Beverage, and Willie
and Anne Getchell and the golf course staff.
