AIREF 12th Annual Golf Classic Winners Irving, Texas (Apr. 21, 2015) — A dozen years of golf, a dozen winners a year, nets a gross of lucky and talented players. But everyone was a winner at the AIREF 12th Annual Golf Classic held at the Revere Golf Club in Las Vegas on Tuesday, April 14, 2015. Industry colleagues teamed up for a pre-ISC West networking event. Windy conditions prevailed on the Lexington Course but the sun was strong and the temperatures high for the 109 players (26 teams) participating in this fun fundraiser. Golf co-chairs, Keith Baird of Honeywell and Mike Harrison of Hillcrest Davidson, introduced tech savvy electronic live golf scoring, powered by VPAR, to ramp up the friendly competition on the course. Golfers returned to the clubhouse to view a leaderboard which revealed the winners automatically. Golfers were divided into two flights. Flight One Low-Gross went to the team of Telguard, who came in with an unbelievable net score of 46 (-26) (scorecard playoff). Runner up honors went to the Safe Security team, who came in with a net score of 46 (-26) (scorecard playoff). Flight Two Low Gross went to the team of Tri-Ed 2 with a remarkable net score of 56(-16). Runners up were the Professional Telecommunication Services (PTS) team, with a net score of 57 (-15). Each player on the winning teams received a $300 or $150 American Express gift card. The Longest Drive #16 went to Mike Matson, Jr. of Matson Alarms, playing for Honeywell. His prize was a $150 American Express gift card. Closest to the Line winner, Bob Pep of Winstead, playing for Team SDM, also received a $150 American Express gift card. Lou Santos (PTS), doubled downed with a win by hitting the jackpot of $3,330. The event followed a shamble format, a combination of scramble and best ball. Note was made of the most sartorially splendid golf ensembles—but no money was awarded for their clothing budget. “The AIREF foundation is grateful for the continued generosity of our industry colleagues.
