The Palmer Signature Course at the Wildfire Golf Club will play host to the 2009 IPHFHA Charity Golf Tournament.  Situated amidst magnificent mountains, stately saguaro cactus and the desert wildlife, our tournament of champions will give golfers an unmatched Arizona golf experience.  The course designed by Arnold Palmer sits on 151 acres at the JW Marriott Desert Ridge.  With its generous fairways and abundance of bunkers, this course promises to challenge and test the ability of all golfers.  The entry fee for the tournament will be $250 per person, which includes greens fee and cart, a continental breakfast, lunch, goodie bags and cocktails.  Golf club rentals are available for $60.    Cocktail service starts at 10 am on Sundays (AZ law). The shotgun tournament is restricted to 144 players, so sign up early to guarantee your spot.  As you select your team, please keep in mind that each team will be required to have at least one vendor.  If you do not know/have a vendor to add to your team roster, we will be happy to place one for you.  Individual men’s and women’s prizes will be awarded to those hitting closest to the pin, longest drive, and to the person who hits a hole-in-one on #8.  We will also recognize teams who place first, second and third.  All participants need to wear proper golf attire, no denim please.  Players are required to wear soft spikes.  All proceeds from the tournament will be directed to Children’s Mercy Hospital of Kansas City.
