February for the PVMGA began with a four-man 2 Best Ball net game. The following week featured our annual Presidents Lunch at Palo Verde restaurant, honoring past league presidents. Next, we held the Home and Home event with the Oakwood Men—starting Thursday at Oakwood and concluding Saturday at Palo Verde with a breakfast buffet. The month ended with a Pick Your Partner flighted event on March 7.
