June 10, 2008 ▪ Albuquerque, NM – On Friday and Saturday, May 30th and 31st, 142 golfers participated in the Albuquerque Ford Dealers Lobo Club Golf Tournament at Twin Warriors Golf Club in support of UNM student-athletes. Beautiful weather and an enthusiastic group of Lobo supporters helped to make this year’s tournament one of the best ever.

A barbeque luncheon was enjoyed by all as we recognized our tournament sponsors and announced first, second and third place teams for all three flights as well as closest-to-the-pin and longest drive winners.
