Golf Tournament
IACSC will host its second golf tournament in 2004 on Friday, November 5, at the Kierland Golf Club. The shotgun tournament will begin at 1:00 pm, using a scramble format. Staff will award the first, second and third low gross teams, as well as the golfers who hit closest-to-the-pin and the longest drive. The 27-hole course is set apart from any other desert golf experience. Emerald green fairways are etched into golden-colored desert grasses, sweeping over constantly changing elevations to flawless tif-eagle grass greens. More than three hundred bunkers guard the way, along with lakes, dry desert washes and strands of desert trees. (Cost:  $155 per person)
