The Doug Davis Foundation's 4th Annual Celebrity / Charity Golf & Poker Invitational Will Be Held On Sunday, December 4th, 2011, at the Westin Kierland Resort & Spa in Beautiful Scottsdale, Arizona.

 

Tournament Information

Dan Haren shows his winning form in our unique "Long Drive" contest. 

Come join us for the DDF "Weekend Party Extravaganza!" of Golf, Poker and Fun

This year, we have 3 Hall of Famers, 3 Cy Young winners, and numerous All-Stars already committed. 

Only 4 Foursomes are still available.

Tournament Format

The format for this year's outing is set up to be the most enjoyable possible, combining food, drinks, golf, poker and a silent auction of spectacular sports memorabilia and other items, all while mingling with celebrities in a charitable atmosphere.

The golf setting will be spectacular, being played at one of the most prestigious golf courses in Arizona, The Westin/Kierland Resort & Spa. The format consists of 5-man teams competing in a Scramble format. Each 4-Some is paired with at least one of our celebrity guests.  The "golf" itself, includes holes requesting the players to putt with a hockey stick, participate in closest to the pin contest out of the sand, use one club for an entire hole, and earn poker cards from "Doug's Diva Dealers" on various holes.  You don't want to miss the fun in mingling with "Doug's Diva Dealers" and attempting to bribe them for your needed card.  Prizes including sports memorabilia, dinner certificates and hotel packages, are awarded for contests on virtually all the holes!!  The feedback from the players and celebrities from the previous two outings was virtually unanimous in that this tournament was the most creative and enjoyable one ever!!

While at the outing, each participant will enjoy a continental breakfast, grilled lunch with drinks included on the course, a post golf cocktail party set up to encourage mingling with your celebrity guest, as well as the other celebrities, and a buffet dinner and drinks.  Autograph requests are appropriate.  Participants are encouraged to bring guests to the cocktail party and dinner, as well as participate in the silent auction. Each participant receives a "goody bag" of various items, including a baseball autographed by many of our celebrity guests, and a team photo with their playing partner celebrity.
