Seeing celebrities in our neighborhood is never as easy as during the annual Lake Tahoe Celebrity Golf Championship! The American Century Championship, held at Edgewood Golf Course, will host 78 pro-athletes and entertainers this year including crowd favorites Michael Jordan and Charles Barkley.  The celebrities participating in this year’s event are a diverse group including actors Dennis Quaid and soap heart-throb Jack Wagner, comedians Dennis Miller and John O’Hurley (Seinfeld’s J.Peterman and recent Dancing with the Stars winner), former Vice-President Dan Quayle, Baseball Hall of Famer Ozzie Smith, and NASCAR superstar Dale Jarrett. 

We have members who travel to Tahoe every year just to watch the event and star-gaze around town.  Stories  are plentiful of people who run into these larger-than-life folks doing ordinary Tahoe things like playing at the casinos, going out to dinner and strolling on the beach.   When you figure we’re a small town full with celebrity tourists, the odds are better-than-normal that you’ll see someone interesting (although we think we’re all worth coming up to visit!). 

NBC’s going to televise the championship which will air on Saturday and Sunday (July 12-13), but the event really starts on Tuesday, July 8th. Smaller mid-week crowds give more opportunity to be up-close in the gallery.  If you can’t join us to see the event in person (tickets are available daily at the gate), then catch out all the action from the comfort of your living room. 

We anticipate having mid-week Bonus Time available.  If you’re interested in coming up for this event don’t wait to call.  Bonus Time is made available as people check-out early and is always first-come, first-served.  Give us a call now if you’re interested… 530.541.8022.

Fore!
