This years 8th Annual SupplySide West Golf Classic, sponsored by Pharmachem Laboratories, saw more than 250 golfers playing on the Sun Mountain and Snow Mountain courses at the Las Vegas Paiute Golf Resort, the first time the tournament has been played at this resort. This is a fantastic tournament the best in the industry, said Dick Beitel, Pharmachems vice president of sales. The tournament had great course selection and first class food. We look forward to this event every year, as it is one of the best for our company and customers.

Over a luncheon at the clubhouse that featured hamburgers, chicken, salads and dessert, Beitel helped draw for raffle prizes that included Ping drivers, golf shoes, Paiute course shirts and a putter. Dave Anderson, purchasing director with Natures Way, noted during lunch that the beautiful course and business opportunities at the tournament were a draw. The great networking was one of the main reasons I golfed, he said.
