The Don Felder Site

Don returns to the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship taking place September 29-October 2 in Fife, Scotland. The prestigious Pro-Am tournament’s lineup will blow you away. Three of four 2011 major champions (Charl Schwarzel, Rory McIllroy and Darren Clarke) are set to compete as well as the current world #1 Luke Donald and #2 Lee Westwood.

Don can’t claim not to know his way around the St. Andrews, Kingsbarns or Carnoustie courses since he’s been playing in the event semi-regularly for about ten years. He missed last year’s tournament due to scheduling conflicts. This year he made sure nothing got in the way of what he calls, “Christmas and New Year’s all rolled into one.”

Fans can watch the event live on television (check local listings ) and stream the scoring online at EuropeanTour.com.

The Dunhill has published a brand-spanking new website loaded with information and a lot less jumpy java script. Check it out.

The 2011 Keel-Felder Golf Classic benefits the free 24-hour child and youth hotline ChildLine. For registration and information go straight to the NSPCC event registration page.

Don begins “play” tomorrow, May 19th, both on the course and on the stage at the BMW Charity Pro-Am. He tees off at the Thornblade Club in Greer, SC along with actors Terry O’Quinn, Andy Buckley, Lucas Black, Bruce Greenwood, Oliver Hudson and Patrick Warburton and fellow musician Colt Ford.

Don’s “Evening at the Hotel California” show tomorrow at the Peace Center Amphitheater in Greenville is already sold out. Tickets are available at the gate ($25) for Don’s performance on Saturday, May 21 in Spartanburg’s Barnet Park. Javier Colon will open that show.

Don is also a part of Friday’s special event at the Peace Center Amphitheater featuring the BMW Charity ProAm celebrity participants. A limited number of tickets will be available at the door.

More BMW Charity Pro Am tournament information, including pairings, celebrity course rotations, tee-times and the live leaderboard can be found at PGATOUR.com.

Officials of the BMW Charity ProAm presented by Synnex, which is coming up May 19-22, announced the entertainment lineup for the Spinx Concert Series Tournament Celebrity Show on Friday, May 20 at the Peace Center Amphitheatre in Greenville, SC. The concert will help raise funds for a program called Honor Flight, which brings World War II vets to Washington, DC in order for them to view the memorials which have been built there in their honor.

From today’s press release: “Javier Colon and Colt Ford will perform during the concert, as will legendary guitarist Don Felder, Rascal Flatts guitarist Joe Don Rooney, Mark Bryan of Hootie & the Blowfish, musician Josh Kelley, Cheech Marin of the infamous duo Cheech and Chong and actor/musician Bruce Greenwood.

To purchase tickets, call Spinx at (864) 233-5421. Press “0” when you hear the automated recording.”

The celebrities performing in Friday evening’s show will have the opportunity to “relax” playing golf in the ProAm. Don will be on steriods that week, playing two additional “Evening at the Hotel California” shows as well as shooting 72 holes of golf during the four days.

Looks like Don’s going to need a complete guitar arsenal during the BMW Charity Pro-Am golf week coming up May 19-22.

In addition to his previously scheduled Evening at the Hotel California show in Barnet Park in Spartanburg on Saturday, May 21, he will also perform a show with his band on Thursday, May 19, and solo as part of the Celebrity Jam on Friday, May 20. Both shows will be at the Peace Center Amphitheater in downtown Greenville.

Tickets are $20. Consult the BMW Tournament site for details.
