About the Event

Oh yes, it is the warmth of the Palm Springs sunshine, the hues of the desert and its magnificent, mountainous crown, and the teary-eyed patriotism and good cause for which we play that brings us together for three days of golf in May. Please join us!

The Nineteenth Annual FBI Agents Association Chi Chi Rodriguez G-Man Desert Shootout Charity Golf Tournament to be held May 13-15, 2010. True to our mission, we will play for the kids.

The Charity

The G-Man Desert Shootout got its start as a shootout between Northern and Southern California FBI Agents and grew into a charitable tournament for the FBIAA National Trust Fund, which provides college scholarships to the children of Agents killed in the line of duty.

In addition to the usual risks of “most wanted” manhunts, criminal investigations, and bringing down drug cartels, gangs and auto boosts, our Agents risk life and limb to ferret out terrorism in every nook and cranny of the world. The G-Men stationed overseas, like our soldiers, are in harm’s way daily in their efforts to protect our freedoms and preserve democracy. Most of them have children.

We are sustained in our mission through the steady support and largesse of our sponsors, so if you are aware of any organizations or individuals that might want to be sponsors, please ask them to contact Bob Jones at (888) 248-2300 or e-mail: gmga@sbcglobal.net

Also, if you are unable to participate in the tournament, we hope you will offer your financial support by sending a charitable, tax deductible donation to the FBI Agents Association Trust Fund. (A tax identification number will be provided upon request.)

Please make check donations payable to the FBI Agents Association and send it, along with the appropriate form to G-Man Shootout, P. O. Box 7819, Northridge, California 91327. Other donations may be shipped to me at 18606 Vintage Street, Northridge, California 91324-1526.
