That time of year again where Lake Tahoe becomes the center of attention when all the celebs from the world of entertainment, sports and reality TV shows converge for a weekend of golf no matter how good their skills are. Charles Barkley was a highlight as Lake Tahoe proclaimed it, "Charles Barkley Day" to thank him for his generous contribution made to The Angora Fire Fund. Had a chance to chat with comedians Ray Romano and Saturday Night Live alumni Kevin Nealon (seen here on the left), actors Greg Kinnear and Brian Baumgartner (from NBC's The Office) and sports guys Joe Theismann (NFL) and San Jose Shark's Jeremy Roenick. For the past few years now I have been broadcasting my morning show from Edgewood Golf Course where the event takes place so it's fun to chat with some of these guys.
This year I was asked to be part of the first ever media putting competition where sports journalists from radio, TV and print all compete for who can be the best putter on the green. Some of these guys take this very seriously but for me how serious can you possibly be when you're just tapping a little white ball into a hole? Well, partly because I'm a comedian and also partly because golf is kind of new to me I sort of wanted to make some type of memorable impression for the other media folks so I did. Usually when one putts you're standing in an upright position. My style well.....let's just say that I'll never really be country club material. I did sink it in though and Nancy snapped this picture just as I was getting into that 'concentration of the game' mode. How good is my handicap? Let's just say I can legally can park in those special places.
