The Dry Heat Classic is a fun filled three days
of golf, dinner, silent/live auctions and a comedy/variety show.
Each golf foursome is paired with a nationally known comedian or
sports figure. Previous celebrities included Baseball Hall
of Fame's Phil Niekro and Ozzie Smith as well as Football Hall of
Fame's Jim McMahon and Ted Hendricks, to name a few.
This was the 15th Annual "Dry Heat Classic"
and
since it's inception has raised over $800,000 which could not
have been possible without all of our past and present
participants and sponsors. Combining comedians, media
personalities and sports greats for two days of golf and
a dinner hosted by Outback Steakhouse. Along with the
dinner, there will be a live band and a silent auction featuring such great
items as autographed memorabilia, vacation packages, gift
items and much more. Don't miss the fun and excitement! Michael Finney
was the host for the (2011) "Dry Heat Classic", July 29, 30,31
at the Wild Horse Pass
Resort. Tournament proceeds benefited the Arizona Rotary
Gift of Life,
The Michael Finney Foundation and other children's
charities.
Even though Michael spends 40
plus weeks a year on the road, he still finds time to play a round or
two of golf. Actually, it's more like 100 or more rounds! His father
taught him how to play at a tender young age, and he currently boasts an
8 handicap!
(With 2 hole in ones, mind you...)
Besides playing for his own
satisfaction, he also plays for the good of others. He attends, as both
a golfer and a performer, 20-30 celebrity charity golf events each
year. He also hosts his own tournament each year called the "Dry
Heat Classic". |
