7th Annual California Gator Golf Tournament, 2005

Gators vs Huskers
 

Santa Teresa Golf Club

The Seventh Annual California Gator Golf Tournament was  played at Santa Teresa Golf Club in South San Jose on Sunday, August 28, 2005.  For the third year the Gators will be competed against the Bay Area Huskers. The purpose of the tournament is to win, have fun and generate revenue for club expenses.  The Gators achieved the fun and generating revenue goals, but not the winning goal. For the second year in a row the same a group of young Huskers lead by Brady Bock took the tournament championship shooting an amazing 55!

Between the Gators and Huskers over $400 was raised for the "Gators Giving Gatorade" for the US Troops cause! That is good for a big Go Gators and Huskers!
