VOLUNTEER PLAY DAY

On Monday, December 4th nearly 160 Merrill Lynch Shootout Volunteers teed it up at Tiburon Golf Club in the annual Volunteer Play Day. After 18 holes of fierce competition the team of David Guild, Cosmo Hiotis, John Plaisted, and Don Trudden took home first place in the net scramble event with a score of 54. Congratulations!

In keeping with the Merrill Lynch Shootout’s focus on children’s charities and its close proximity to the holiday season, the Volunteer Play Day once again supported Toys for Tots. Nearly 200 unwrapped children’s gifts were donated to Toys for Tots by a tremendous group of generous volunteers, thank you!

VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITY

History will be made in February when the PGA TOUR heads to México for the inaugural Mayakoba Golf Classic at Riviera Maya-Cancún, the PGA TOUR's first-ever official event to be held outside of the United States and Canada. To be held February 19-25, 2007, the Mayakoba Golf Classic will be conducted in Playa del Carmen at El Camaleón Golf Club at Mayakoba, just 35 minutes south of Cancún.

The Mayakoba Golf Classic is now seeking volunteers to be part of this historic occasion. Volunteers are the backbone of every PGA TOUR event and it is their hard work that makes it all possible - and the Mayakoba Golf Classic will be no exception.

February's average high temperature in Playa del Carmen is 81 degrees, while the average low is 68.
