The Elfego Baca Golf
Shoot
|
| Rattlesnakes, scorpions, blood-seeking
cacti, biting black gnats, rock slides, and no relief from a
harsh desert sun isn't the typical description for a golf shoot,
but the annual Elfego Baca Shoot is far from typical.
|
As it has been since the mid-1970s, competitors are loaded into four-wheel drive vehicles to
ascend Socorro Peak, 7,243 feet above sea level. Here they will
battle in a one-hole shoot. The hole, a fifty foot patch of
dirt, is located on the New Mexico Tech campus, about 4 hours
long, 2550 feet down, and almost three miles away.
The shoot is
based on a rugged course, Socorro's M Mountain, and has aptly
been named as "one of the world's most unusual golf
events" in the Book of Lists.
