Celebrity Golf Tournament!
We had a blast the other day at Black Hawk Country Club in Dublin. We photograph every year for the SF Bay Area Council Boy Scouts of America who these events raise the money for. We have on site instant printers that print out 5×7 photographs of all the players and their teams along with many playing golf. When they get back from all 18 holes their photos are all ready to be picked up!
This year not only were the Oakland Raiderettes appearing and helping out, we also had the Golf Angels and some of the gals from Hooters! I thought I was going to die, this year it was in the high 80′s on the course last year we were freezing in 41 degree weather with a mist. Over 120 players, some from the Oakland Raiders, some from the Forty Niners, everywhere you looked there were Superbowl Rings! One of the most famous of all Raiders appeared for the auction and dinner and that was Superbowl and Hall of Famer #00 Jim Otto.The silient auction was a hit with many one of a kind auction items donated from the Oakland and Oracle stadiums and many professional sports heros from throughout the Bay Area.
There were front row seats with back stage passes to see Beyonce to Box seats to Raider and A’s games. On hand again this year was Randy Haun the voice of the San Jose Sharks who personally donated a Sharks signed jersey along with a tour and meet and greet of all the player’s along with front row seating. There were also two automobiles that were won with hole in ones! This years sponsor was Channel 36 KICU television which is also the Bay Area station that broadcasts all of the Raider games.
