4th Phoenix Amputee Open April 23,24, 2010

Bill Harding is back! A Champion at Cave Creek

Cave Creek Golf Course in Phoenix, AZ hosted the Phoenix Open Amputee Tournament April 23 & 24, 2010. We had a crisp morning for the opening 7:30 AM Shotgun start.  Can you believe some wore jackets in Phoenix at the end of April?  It warmed up nicely for two days of great golf with 68 players.  Our players hailed from AZ, CA, WY, OK, TX, WA and Canada.
Everybody enjoyed the Luncheons and camaraderie.  The Raffle was a lot of fun with over $4,000 in prizes to win.
The over-all gross champion was Bill Harding posting a 159 for the two days.  Bill won over Adam Grossman in a 7-hole score card playoff.

The following were all won using net scores:
