On Thursday, July 12th, we went to Celebrity Day at the American Century Championship Celeb-Am Golf Tournament at Edgewood Golf Course in South Lake Tahoe. Celebrities were paired with four VIPs that paid for the privilege. The selected charity this year is the Lance Armstrong Foundation - Live Strong. Money is also being donated to the Tahoe Angora Fire fund.
Tee off started at 7:00 a.m. We arrived around 8:00. It was gorgeous weather. Low 60's when we arrived with a high of 82. Completely clear, sunny skies. Admission was only $10 and it was one of the few days cameras were allowed.
The club house at Edgewood. Nice little bar inside :-)

Sweet! I am most excited about Don Cheadle! I think he's the bee's knees... don't let Ross see John Elway... not a fan! You saw some great people & glad to hear the bar was nice:)
Tell Ross that Elway doesn't walk too well anymore. I can't walk too well either and I only sat in a cubicle during my "pro" life.
