Tahoe Celebrity Golf - July 17–20, 2014

American Century Championship Logo

Another great year working the Golf Tournament and meeting new celebrities.  The tournament celebrated 25 years.  We had our usual jobs of Hank as a Walking Scorer for the celebrities and I was a Standard Bearer carrying the sign.  We were able to get pictures with several of the players and autographs, they were all very nice.

This is the 17th “Party Hole” where all the crazies get drunk on their boats and hang out at the beach.  The fans will toss footballs/baseballs to the players to get autographs.
