Even without golfing, you can join in the excitement of the FORE the House Golf Tournament with the Helicopter Ball Drop Raffle!
During the 19th Hole Reception immediately following the tournament, a helicopter will drop up to 1,500 numbered golf balls onto the practice green at the Papago Golf Club. Golfers and reception attendees can watch as the helicopter circles the course and makes the drop, with hundreds of golf balls bouncing onto the course! Winners will be announced based on the first ball in the designated hole, with the top 4 in the hole or nearest to the hole, winning prizes. Need not be present to win!
Whether you’re golfing in the tournament or not, we invite you to purchase raffle tickets online until midnight on Saturday, 04/26/25. (Those attending the tournament will be able to purchase raffle tickets in person until 9:45 am the day of the event.) Only 1,500 raffle balls will be sold! Click here for official rules.

Purchase raffle tickets online through 4/26/25 using the PURCHASE RAFFLE TICKETS button below. Only 1,500 balls will be sold!

Each raffle ticket purchased is linked to a golf ball labeled with a number.

All ‘claimed’ golf balls are loaded into a helicopter and dropped from the sky over a hole at Papago Golf Club.

The ball in the hole or nearest to the hole wins, with second, third, and fourth place balls also winning awesome prizes.
