Video of the 2008 Bruce Edwards Classic Dinner Speeches

The fourth annual Bruce Edwards Celebrity Classic, held on June 30, 2008 at Caves Valley Golf Club in Owings Mills, Maryland, was another huge success.  More than 20 celebrity golfers were paired with foursomes for a great day of golf.   

Celebrity players included PGA golfers Tom Watson, Tom Kite, John Cook, Mike Muehr, George McNeill, Kevin Sutherland;  NCAA basketball coaches Karl Hobbs (GWU), Gary Williams (Maryland), Jim Calhoun (Connecticut), Fran Dunphy (Temple), Seth Greenberg (Va Tech);  sports media personalities Mike Wilbon, Tony Kornheiser, Kelly Tilghman; Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Bob Woodward, pro football player Joe Theismann, former Celtic great Sam Jones, and Duke standout and former Washington Bullet Mark Alarie. 

The day’s events included a breakfast with guest speaker Bob Woodward, followed by a short-game clinic with Tom Watson.  At the conclusion of the best-ball tournament, players and guests participated in silent and live auctions, bidding on one-of-a-kind items such as the chance to caddy for Tom Watson in the Masters’ par-three tournament, a personal tour of Yankee Stadium by David Cone, tickets to all four of golf’s Major Championships, and more. 

David Feherty provided the keynote speech at the dinner, sharing stories of Bruce Edwards as well as his own adventures on – and off – the golf course.
