I just looked through the ABC News Channel 11 photos of the the Jimmy V “Celebrity” Golf Classic. I could hardly recognize a single “celebrity” aside from Arnold Palmer. They did point out “Dennis Haskins, best known for his role as Principal Richard Belding in the sitcom Saved by the Bell.” Who in the name of Almighty Isis is responsible for my missing his appearance? There should have been wide spread public notice and a staggering security detail for someone of such notoriety as Screech’s principal.
I guess the ‘ol Jimmy V just ain’t what it used to be. All I want to know is, did Hootie make it back? It can’t be a golf classic without middle age one hit wonders. They can’t be easily replaced by old politicians and rich people looking for a reason to call each other “celebrities”. Oh ya, Lyle Lovett, Meatloaf and the guy from Extreme Makeover Home Edition were there too. No not Ty, the other dude with the glasses. Far as I’m concerned Lovett’s biggest claim to fame was Julia Roberts.
Why are you looking at me like that? I admire the cause but kinda question the execution. If I’m wrong then why is this tournament falling in notoriety?
Have you done any research on golf tournaments and what it takes to put one together? Celebrities of all kinds receive hundreds of invitations every year and will choose the one (if any) that is most convenient or personal to them. Have you read WHY these specific celebrities come to the V and how much money was raised by them simply being in attendance this year? The V continues to be one of the top tournaments in the country and that hasn’t been altered in its 16 years of raising money for cancer research.
Were you able to come out to the Tournament this year to see what it’s all about? Let me know if you’d like to research on-site next time and I’ll be glad to find you and anyone else a ticket. I think you’d have a much different opinion.
I’ll come as long as Suzanne Clifton and the Executive Staffing Group are no longer admired sponsors. I really don’t want any association with any group that would accept support, financial or otherwise, from those of such questionable character.
