Bob Gaona Memorial will help golf legend's widow with bills

One of Tucson’s top golf events of August will be the Bob Gaona Memorial tournament, to be played Sunday, Aug. 27 at El Rio Golf Course. That’s the course at which Gaona, a self-taught 1959 state champion at Tucson High School, learned the game en route to the PGA Champions Tour. All proceeds from the event will be plugged into a bank account used expressly for Gaona’s widow, Eva, to pay mortgage and utility bills. The four-person scramble is $100 per person.
