CFF Members Enjoy a Beautiful Day of Golf at Stockton Tournament
 Fun was had by all during the California Fertilizer Foundation's 11th Annual Golf Tournament held on the beautiful greens at the Stockton Golf and Country Club. The weather cooperated, being mild and comfortably breezy with blue skies and lots of friendly chatter. Many thanks to the dozens of people who volunteered this year to make this happen, and to our many sponsors, members and guests for making this event a truly memorable year.
