Expanded Carolina Concerts

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.

Golf and Guitars for BMW Charity ProAm

Don returns to the BMW Charity Pro-Am this year, which takes place among three courses situated on the North/South Carolina border. The event, scheduled for May 19-22, pits a field of golf-addicted celebrities teamed up with “real folks” and professionals from the Nationwide Tour. The tournament is also broadcast by the Golf Channel.

Don will have to struggle with excess baggage this year since he will have to tote both his golf clubs AND his guitars from one coast to the other, plus arrange an early tee time on Saturday, May 21. That evening he’ll perform a special concert in Spartanburg’s Barnet Park beginning at 7:00 pm. Not only are tickets available to the general public, the event also offers a VIP package with an opportunity to socialize with Don. Most importantly, proceeds from the concert benefit various charities supported by BMW and the community.

To get a feel for what goes down at this event, check out Don and the other participants from last year in this video posted by BMW, set to some catchy, toe-tappin’ background music.

Marching the Fairways

Like Don says, if he’s going to go out and lose golf balls, it might as well be for a good cause. Well then, he’d better stock up for a couple of charity golf events coming up next month.

On March 5th and 6th, actor Patrick Warburton will host the inaugural “Golf for Kids” celebrity golf tournament on the Classic Course in Palm Desert, CA, which benefits the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. In addition to the golf, there will be a pairings party, foursomes each with a celebrity, gala dinner, comedy show and silent auction. Non-golfers can purchase tickets separately for the gala show.

Don’s a Ladies’ Man

Don will be back on the celebrity golf circuit playing in the Pro-Am at the 2011 Kraft Nabisco Golf Championship (formerly Dinah Shore) which takes place in Rancho Mirage, California, from March 28-April 3. The Championship is part of the LPGA tour. Over one-hundred of the top female professional golfers are expected to compete.

Elvis Has Left the Clubhouse

It’s day three of the Bob Hope Classic Pro-Am, where this year both the weather and Don’s team’s score have been fabulous.

Don’s group is currently in a tie for seventh place out of 128 (!) amateur teams. The secret is definitely the new shades.
