The competition at the El Toro Pro is always fierce, with names like Thomason, Motonishi and Kiesel battling for class points and overall honors. The event also provides an excellent testing opportunity, as the concrete surface is very reminiscent of that in Lincoln., Don’t forget to have fun while you are there, Locals recommend Tia Juana’s Long Bar and Grill for good food and top shelf Tequilas.
