One lucky WM Phoenix Open fan and one lucky Phoenix Suns fan will get a chance along with a number of war heroes, celebrities and sponsors during the Phoenix Suns Charities Shot at Glory presented by Snell &amp; Wilmer LLP on Wednesday, February 1<sup>st</sup>.  This unique closest-to-the-pin contest is a friendly competition featuring roughly 25 participants and will take place following the completion of the FBR/Xerox Silver Pro-Am at approximately 3:30 pm. The event is open to spectators – in fact Waste Management Phoenix Open fans are encouraged to stick around and cheer-on the participants.</span><span style="font-family: 'Arial', 'sans-serif'">The Waste Management Phoenix Open fan participating in the Shot at Glory will be chosen randomly by tournament officials on the day of the event. The Phoenix Suns fan participating in the Shot at Glory will be chosen randomly from the team’s season ticketholders. The celebrity, Wounded Warrior and sponsor participants will be released at a later date.</span><span style="font-family: 'Arial', 'sans-serif'">Past Shot at Glory winners include: New York Post sportswriter Mark Cannizzaro (2008), Tilted Kilt Executive John Reynaud (2009) and rock star Alice Cooper (2010). The 2011 Shot at Glory event was canceled due to frozen turf. </span><span style="font-family: 'Arial', 'sans-serif'">Tournament host The Thunderbirds will award more than $100,000 to the charities chosen by each competitor. Plus, if a participant makes a hole-in-one, $1 million will be given away ($500,000 to the competitor, $500,000 to the charity of their choice) If no one makes a hole-in-one, $40,000 will be donated to the charity of the participant who is closest-to-the-pin, while $25,000 and $15,000 will be donated to the 2<sup>nd</sup> and 3<sup>rd</sup> place finishers, respectively.  Each of the remaining participant’s charities will receive $1,000. <a href="http://www.wmphoenixopen.com/">www.wmphoenixopen.com</a></span></p>

<span style="font-family: 'Arial', 'sans-serif'">Fort McDowell, Ariz.</span></strong><span style="font-family: 'Arial', 'sans-serif'"> – The award-winning We-Ko-Pa Golf Club recently celebrated its 10<sup>th</sup> anniversary on Wednesday, December 14<sup>th</sup>. Named one of the “</span><span style="font-family: 'Arial', 'sans-serif'">Top Ten Best New Courses in the World” by <em>Sports Illustrated </em>two weeks after opening in December 2001, We-Ko-Pa’s Cholla Course has been one of the most awarded and successful daily-fee golf facilities in the country.  </span><span style="font-family: 'Arial', 'sans-serif'">“I’m proud to say that 10 years after opening, little has changed at We-Ko-Pa Golf Club,” said We-Ko-Pa Golf Club Managing Partner Ed Francese, who has been with We-Ko-Pa since course construction began. “</span><span style="font-family: 'Arial', 'sans-serif'">Whether it’s the phenomenal golf courses, the pristine Sonoran Desert environment or the unique tribute We-Ko-Pa pays to the Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation, we are still offering the same consistent, all-encompassing golf experience that is unlike any other in Arizona.”</span><span style="font-family: 'Arial', 'sans-serif'">Unlike gas and food prices, green fees at We-Ko-Pa have remained consistent. In fact, in December 2001 t</span><span style="font-family: 'Arial', 'sans-serif'">he introductory green fee at We-Ko-Pa was $130 for out-of-state visitors and $80 for Arizona residents with proof of residency.  Today, green fees booked 8 to 90 days in advance are $140 for out-of-state visitors and $85 for Arizona residents (through Dec 24).  </span><span style="font-family: 'Arial', 'sans-serif'">            About the only thing that has changed at We-Ko-Pa over the last decade is the addition of a second golf course. The Saguaro Course, a Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw design, opened for play in December 2006 and has been greeted by the same fanfare as the original Scott Miller-designed Cholla Course. <em>Golfweek Magazine</em> lists Saguaro as the number one public access course in Arizona and the Cholla course as the number three public access course in their 2011 state-by-state rankings. </span></code><code></code><code></code><code></code><code></code><code></code><code></code><code></code><code></code><code></p>
<p style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: 0.5in" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: 'Arial', 'sans-serif'">Located on the Fort McDowell Indian Community, We-Ko-Pa Golf Club is a daily fee golf facility that consists of the original 18 holes, the Cholla course, designed by Scott Miller and a second 18 holes, the Saguaro course, designed by Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw<em>.</em>  In addition to the two 18-hole courses, there is a large practice facility, a full-service clubhouse and a second smaller clubhouse serving the Saguaro Course.  We-Ko-Pa is owned by the Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation and is operated by EF Golf and OB Sports Golf Management. For more information on We-Ko-Pa Golf Club, call 480-836-9000 or visit them online at </span><a target="_blank" href="http://www.wekopa.com/" title="WE Ko Pa Golf Club"><span style="font-family: 'Arial', 'sans-serif'">www.wekopa.com</span></a><span style="font-family: 'Arial', 'sans-serif'">.</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><span style="font-family: 'Arial', 'sans-serif'"><a href="http://www.hotelvisitorsguide.com/arizona.html" title="Arizona Hotels">Phoenix, Ariz</a>.</span></strong><span style="font-family: 'Arial', 'sans-serif'"> – Golf Legend and 1964 Phoenix Open Champion Jack Nicklaus has six Green Jackets from The Masters, five PGA Championship Wannamaker trophies, four US Open trophies, three British Open Claret Jugs, but until today, he didn’t have a Blue Velvet Tunic and Silver Concho from The Thunderbirds. The Thunderbirds, hosts of the Waste Management Phoenix Open since 1934, honored the Golden Bear by making him an honorary Thunderbird prior to today’s 2012 Tee Off Luncheon at The Phoenician Resort. </span><span style="font-family: 'Arial', 'sans-serif'">With the addition of Nicklaus there are a total of 31 honorary Thunderbirds, including former PGA TOUR Commissioner Deane Beman, singer Bing Crosby, entertainer Bob Hope, former City of Phoenix Mayor Margaret Hance, golf legend Arnold Palmer and PING Golf founder Karsten Solheim.  </span><span style="font-family: 'Arial', 'sans-serif'">No name is more synonymous with greatness in the sport of golf than the name Jack Nicklaus, and no single person has changed the face of the sport more than Jack Nicklaus – the player, the designer, the philanthropist, and the good-will ambassador. Jack, 70, has been named “Golfer of the Century” or “Golfer of the Millennium” by almost every major golf publication in the world. He was also named Individual Male Athlete of the Century by <em>Sports Illustrated</em>, and one of the 10 Greatest Athletes of the Century by <em>ESPN</em>. Winner of the 1964 Phoenix Open held at Phoenix Country Club, Nicklaus played in five Phoenix Opens (1962-65 and 1986) and has four top-10 finishes.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Arial', 'sans-serif'"><span style="color: black"></span></span><span style="font-family: 'Arial', 'sans-serif'">Thunderbird membership is limited to 55 Active members. Each has demonstrated a sincere interest in sports and a dedication to community affairs. All Thunderbird activities and events are the prime responsibility of these Active Thunderbirds and are under the watchful eye of the Big Chief and Thunderbird Council. When a Thunderbird reaches the age of 45, their status changes from Active to that of Life Member. Although they are relieved of continuous duties, it is not unusual to see a Life Thunderbird lending a helping hand at The Waste Management Phoenix Open or one of the many other Thunderbird-sponsored events. There are over 300 members comprising The Thunderbirds organization. To date, the Thunderbirds civic organization have given more than $75 million dollars to local charities, including more than $48 in the last decade alone. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Arial', 'sans-serif'"></span><span style="font-family: 'Arial', 'sans-serif'">The 2012 Waste Management Phoenix Open, known as “The Greatest Show on Grass,” will be held at the TPC Scottsdale from January 30<sup>th</sup> to February 5<sup>th</sup>, 2012. The Waste Management Phoenix Open is the best-attended golf tournament in the world and has gained legendary status for being the most unique stop on the PGA TOUR. The 2012 edition will mark the 77<sup>th</sup> playing of the event (one of the five oldest events on the PGA TOUR) and the third as the Waste Management Phoenix Open.</span></p>
