KISSOnline.com report that guitarist Tommy Thayer is appearing as a featured guest at the 3rd Annual Shaun Micheel Make-A-Wish Golf Classic, held Sunday (June 25th) and today (Monday, June 26th) at Ridgeway Country Club in Memphis, Tennessee.

Last year's event was a huge success, raising over $175,000 to help grant the wishes of children facing life-threatening medical conditions in the Mid-South. With the help of Tommy and KISS, who donated a signed Paul Stanley Sovereign guitar to be auctioned, this year's event stands to be a bigger success than last year. A huge KISS fan, Shaun sees as many KISS shows he can fit into his schedule and personally invited Tommy (who is an avid golfer) as his special guest to this year's event.

A photo of Tommy and Shawn, backstage before the Honda-Fest concert in Columbus last year, can be seen here.

In other news, KISSOnline just got back from the KISS Coffeehouse which is now open to the public.
