Montclair Country Club in West Orange, NJ. I enjoyed playing in the Yogi Berra Museum Celebrity Classic. Yogi Berra’s commitment to children, the tournament raises money for the Yogi Berra Museum & Learning Center, which offers culturally diverse educational programming designed to stimulate students’ interest in sports and its relationship to academic endeavors. Yogi was stationed on a 130 yrd PAR 3 and hit tee shots for every group that played through. He hit his driver great and the shot rolled to the back of the green. His eye hand coordination is a true testament to his athletic genius. It’s always humbling to be invited as a celebrity in his tournament. The Star studded field included, Current and past Yankees, Nick Swisher, Jaba Chamberlain, Joe Girardi, Mickey Rivers, Goose Gossage, Bill Skowran(Moose), Graig Nettles, Ron Guidry(Gator), former NFL and NHL players. Also in attendance was former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani. If your ever in NJ you should visit the Yogi Berra Museum & Learning center. Having a chance to see all 10 of World Series rings Yogi won is mind-blowing. For more info visit. http://www.yogiberramuseum.org/
