Don will participate in two charity golf events coming up in July.

The Courtnall Celebrity Classic has raised in excess of $2 million for the Victoria (BC) Hospitals Foundation and the Archie Courtnall Centre in support of mental health programs. This year’s event will be held at the Victoria Golf Club in Victoria, BC, from July 22- 24. The tournament was established by former National Hockey League players Geoff and Russ Courtnall and their brother Bruce. Past celebrity participants have included NHL legend Wayne Gretzky and actor Kiefer Sutherland. More information at their expansive event website.

KISS guitarist Tommy Thayer hosts the Pacific University Legends Golf Classic in Aloha (near Beaverton) OR on July 31 – August 1. This exclusive two-day event includes dinner, auction and celebrity concert. Proceeds benefit the university’s student athletes. More details at the tournament website.

Don will appear together with ZZ Top
at the Catfish Extravaganza sponsored by the Lions of Greenville, WI on Saturday, August 6 at Lion’s Park.

Should be a rip-roarin’ good time. Doors open at 5:00 pm and it’s general admission. Get tickets online at Ticket Star.

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.

Don performs the first of three shows at the Avalon Ballroom at the Fallsview Casino in Niagara Falls, ON, beginning tonight.
