| RULES OF PLAY |
| The 18-hole golf event will be played over two days on Saturday, February 23 and Sunday, February 24, 2008. Nine holes will be played each day. Tee time is 8 a.m. (HT) |
| The format is alternate-shot SKINS, featuring the team format. The low ball will determine the winner on each hole. If two tie for low ball, all tie. |
| If there is a tie on the 18th hole, there will be a sudden-death playoff, with each team participating on the first playoff hole. Only those teams who tie with the low score will continue in the playoff. |
| The playoff will begin at the 18th hole and, if not settled, will move to the 16th and 17th holes. The procedure will be repeated if necessary. |
| CHARITY |
| Each player will donate 10% percent of his winnings to charity – 5% to the David Thomas Foundation for Adoption and 5% to a charity of his choice. |
