Bose District Governor Did you know we have a National Champion in our Zone? The United States Golfing Fellowship of Rotarians (USGFR) held its 27 th annual National Championships in Albuquerque, NM on September 24th- 28th. About 50 Rotarian golfers from across the U.S.A. and Canada participated, including Zone golfers from Districts 6960, 6980, 7690, 7610, and Incoming USGFR President PDG Patrick Eakes (D7690), shot -1 over the closing seven holes to win the National Gross Championship. DG Jon Spillman (D7690) finished 5th. The National Championships offer a great week of fellowship and food, and lifetime friendships are made each year. Non-golfing Rotary partners have a wide array of tours to choose from while golfers are on the course. Please mark your calendars now for the 2017 National Championships in beautiful Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, September 11-15, Also, please watch for more information about the 2018 National Championships, which will be held in Blacksburg, VA.
