Think of this as kind of a "skins game" and a friendly competition between three world class athletes.
The players got around the course pretty well, each having some highlights along the way, but in theend it was Team Butler coming out on top.
Glavine and Butler both were having fun with this endeavor, They were laughing exchanging highfives and handshakes with the fans and dignitaries and had huge smiles on their faces.
Charity.
With Novelis as a sponsor this year, we now havethese three playing in the Novelis CelebrityChallenge. Taking place during the actualtournament round on Saturday, April 19th duringthe Greater Gwinnett Championship, this will be a"competitive" round within the actual tournamentround- all for charity.
A donation to the Aflac Cancer and BloodDisorders Center of Children's Healthcare ofAtlanta, one of the leading pediatric cancerfacilities in the country, will be made on behalf ofthe celebrities. Each will be playing for a specificarea of need including clinical research, sicklecell and Family support. Fans can show theirsupport of the favorite player by making adonation to their team by visitingGreaterGwinnettChampionship.com/CelebrityChallenge.
But who was the big winner?
"The addition of the Novelis Celebrity Challengehelps to solidify the Greater Gwinnett
Championship as a premier event in the metro Atlanta area," states Stan Hall, Executive Director ofthe tournament. "There is something for everyone at our event from the hardcore golf fan to theperson who wants to enjoy a great day outside with friends enjoying the beautiful surroundings atTPC Sugarloaf."
One the first tee, the three looked confident and ready. Smoltz, a serious golfer was indeed takingthis seriously. While he chatted briefly with fans and posed for pictures, he was the more intense ofthe three studying the fairway and the hole that he was about to attack during the spare moments.
No problem for the recent Hall of Fame inductee in Glavine, the future Hall of Famer in Smoltz anda Super Bowl champ in Butler.
They all knew how to put nerves aside and eachboomed a big drive off the tee. Smoltz may have hitone of the biggest tee shots of the day.
A great addition to the Greater GwinnettChampionship was the Novelis Celebrity Challengefeaturing John Smoltz, Tom Glavine and Kevin Butler
The Greater Gwinnett Championship has done a lotof good things this week; bringing out these celebsto play an exhibition round for charity was really theicing on the cake.
