Bump and Run With the Amateur Tour in Poway

Head over to Maderas this weekend to check out the tournament.

You can break out your green on Saturday (you don't want to be pinched) or enjoy an all-day music fest in Point Loma.

We’ve got the best bets to entertain and enthrall you from March 10-13, whether you want to stay close to Poway or take a drive to find even more to do. This week, we feature a chance to see amateur golfers get a shot in the spotlight and opening day for a nearly two-week slate of Latino films.
