Golf / Rich Tosches : A Look at a Slice of Life and Other Maladies

August 09, 1989|Rich Tosches

Of course, there will be no announcers for this tournament, but there will be plenty of laughs as the Marriott Hotel-Warner Center kicks off an indoor golf tournament Aug. 14, with proceeds benefiting the Celebrity Outreach Program.

The 18-hole course begins with a par-4 that winds its way through the Parkside Restaurant and ends with another par-4 that snakes its way around the indoor pool. In between are some very challenging holes, such as No. 8, which will involve a long shot across the marble hallway and into the gift shop. Or the 11th hole, which involves hitting a tee shot into the elevator, taking it to the 14th floor and putting the ball down 14 floors of stairs.

Other holes will take golfers through the $1,500-a-day presidential suite and the nearby vice-presidential suite, where golfers will get the chance to speak Latin to a group of Latin Americans.

Celebrity Outreach Foundation had aided dozens of nonprofit organizations since its inception last year, including the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, the Greater Los Angeles Partnership for the Homeless, Planned Parenthood and the Starlight Foundation.

The tournament field will comprise four-person corporate teams. Entry fee is $100 per person. Prizes will include trips to Rio de Janeiro, San Francisco, San Diego, Lake Tahoe, Vancouver and Carmel.

Information: 818-887-4800.
