In Washoe Valley, Toiyabe Golf Club served as the venue for the Al Porta Memorial Golf Tournament. The event remembers Al Porta, who was a World War II veteran, and raises money for a local veterans charity.
The organizer, Tom Porta, says his friend gave him the idea.
“My father enjoyed golf very much,” Porta says, “and a friend of mine called me after my father passed away and said ‘let’s start a tournament in your father’s name.’ I said, ‘well, that would be really great.'”…
