I’ll be leaving this Thursday evening for Palm Springs to blogcast LIVE from the Team Challenge celebrity sports golf tournament, along with Golf Chick, Jay Flemma and Golf Girl. Unfortunately there weren’t enough rooms at the Fantasy Springs Resort, so Golf Chick and Golf Girl will have to room with me. Don’t worry. I don’t snore that loud. Hehe. OK smack me.
The Team Challenge is a tournament pitting all time greats from basketball, football, baseball and hockey. Each team has a charity which will be awarded the prize money, $100K for 1st place. My blog post here covers the details of the event.
Below is a table from the Team Challenge web site showing the four charities who will benefit. I’ll be paying close attention to, and doing some more blogging about Operation Kids. Operation Kids is located just down the street from my place.
