As with many celebrity golf events, Frank Sinatra presented the five players the team gross and net scramble golf tournament, which has recently found a home at Eagle Falls Golf course, in the heart of the Californian desert.

The first night's pairings party, where amateur golfers treated to a feast at the Fantasy Springs Events Center. There I got to hang out with such well-known as a baseball great Rollie Fingers, Steve Garvey, along with actors like Joe Mantegna, Tim Reid, Kevin Sorbo, and Barry Williams, and there is also a former football stars like Vince Ferragamo and Tommy Kramer .

After the first day of golf concluded that another dinner Live & Silent Auction. That night I sat back and watched the faces that came out in the event and the camaraderie that came with it. Tired of all the festivities, I went to my room to get a good nights sleep ready for another great day of golf.
