Silver City -- Warming weather means one thing for local golfers - tee time! And now that the Town of Silver City is once again managing the municipal course known as Scott Park, they are singing the praises of town management and the facility's golf pro, Len Zamora.
"I decided it was time to return to my New Mexico roots, share what I've learned and showcase a great golf experience for local residents," said Zamora, a PGA League national member who relocated to Silver City a year ago with his wife, Sarah, from Cabo San Lucas in Mexico's Baja Peninsula, where he improved that course's worldwide ranking from 58th to 36th in the eight years that the couple lived there. He also spent 17 years of his career in Scottsdale, Arizona.

Advanced Veterinary Care and Surgical Center, Silver City, NM, announces the return of general veterinary services

I'm Dr. Shelby Bradberry from Advanced Veterinary Care and Surgical Center here in Silver City. My husband, Dr. Britton Bradberry, and I started our practice here from the ground up in 2014. We built a successful practice, providing advanced, up-to-date, "big city"-type medicine for our patients and clients, at an affordable price. However, COVID put us in a position where we had to rely heavily on our out-of-town clients who were still coming for advanced surgery, so we closed general practice doors in late 2021.
We recently hired Dr. Tiffany Pierce, who is now seeing patients for general practice needs. This means we are able to provide wellness visits, vaccinations, microchips, spays and neuters, dentals, and all the other services that come with general practice. We have digital radiography, an ultrasound, dental equipment similar to human dentistry, hospitalization with IV fluids and care, and so much more. We named our clinic "Advanced" for a reason. We are so happy (as are our clients) to provide the Southwest these services at an affordable price.
