It was over in a blink of an eye. The 2nd Annual PHD Golf Tournament has come and gone but the fun times will remain. On September 4th, we all made our way up to The Maples of Ballantrae (http://www.maplesofballantrae.com/), some by car and others by bus. 116 golfers teed off just after 9am on one of the best days of weather we have had this summer (thank goodness). 

We had some excellent golfers out there but we also had beginners but we all had fun. We saw the group of Scott Dane, Scott Mitchell, Bill Hicks and Boyd Mickle win the tournament with a group score of 69.

We had a lot of support from our suppliers with many participating and donating prizing for the golfers. We want to thank everyone including: Pattison Outdoor, Astral Outdoor, Tribute.ca, Canoe.ca, Rogers, Chill Magazine, Adconian, IT World, Uptrend, TSN, Abacus, Adcentrictiy, Glass Box, Score Golf, Newad, Scott Thornley & Company & the Toronto Blue Jays.  Chill Magazine also created some awesome pics for each foursome.  See our Facebook album to see them all and get a copy of you on the cover of Chill magazine.

We also want to thank the course, the staff there were excellent and helped us put on a top notch event. They even donated a foursome that a lucky raffle ticket holder ended up with.

But this day wasn’t all about fun and golf. We were there to raise money for the Ontario Association of Children’s Aid Societies (www.oacas.org/). With PHD corporately kicking in $2,200, we were able to raise $10,034!! A great accomplishment to break the $10K barrier.

Lastly, I want to thank Geoff Glen, Scott Dane, Ryan Gilroy & Brian Wylie. We couldn’t have put this tournament together without their help. Special thanks to Angie Genovese for volunteering for the day of and selling raffle tickets and taking some great pics. So once again, thank you all for your support and we hope you enjoyed the day.

See you all next year at the 3rd Annual.

More pictures will be up on Facebook

Monday was the first day of MSN and Sympatico running their own portals.

The feel and look is different from each other but not overly that it would alienate the consumer.

Traffic on the homepage for Sympatico.ca dropped 25% from where it was at before. This is inline with what we were to expect.

MSN is still out on what their numbers are… time will tell… will update as soon as numbers are in.

We will be keeping a close eye on both portals so see how traffic progresses.

Stay tuned for more updates. Or follow us at @PHDcanada for immediate information
