The Phoenix Forum Swings Into Action With Golf Tourney

The day consisted of VIP shuttle service from the host and surrounding hotels to the Golf Club, sponsored by CCBill, players then registered and enjoyed coffee and juice, followed by the National Net putting contest and a shotgun tee start time.

On the course were a number of contests, models, bars and food, with happy hour to be followed by awards, dinner and raffle.

This year's competition included a field of over 40 participants bested by the winning foursome of Dr. Doug Wickes, Ycaza Thrush, Mike Hawk and Stephen Bugbee.

Other contests included "closest to the pin," won by Rick Bennick, "longest drive" nabbed by Joel Prappeau and the putting contest won by CCBill's Will.

The dubious achievement "shankopottamus" award, sponsored by Cherry Pimps, went to Moe Helmy.
