The 6th Annual D.I.C.E. Summit Golf Tournament sponsored by EA Partners was held at the Paiute Golf Resort this year. EA Partners introduced the wildly popular and fun “Microtransaction model” golf that allowed the golfers to pay for offensive and defensive abilities. These abilities ranged from offensive abilities such as Drowning Victim (for $10, you get to kick the closest ball to the hazard into the water, laughing maliciously is optional, but encouraged) to defensive abilities such as Sandwich (for $2, this ability lets you make a free drop out of a sand hazard). All proceeds made from these abilities were donated directly to the Randy Pausch Scholarship Fund. The winners of the 6th Annual D.I.C.E. Summit Golf Tournament were David DeMartini, Scott Lynch, Jason Holtman, and DJ Powers. The prize this year was Rock Band 2.
