The event is almost upon us. 
The Pro Sports Team Challenge, that is. You know, the golf tournament that pits four players from four major US sports against one another to raise money for charity? Here’s the official website and here’s more info from an older post of mine at Golf For Women.
It all happens this weekend in Palm Springs at Eagle Falls Golf Course, so if you haven’t already, it’s time to sign up to be a Pro Coach, pick your team, and make your coaching selections.
The smart money’s on the Hockey team, since Mario Lemieux and Pierre Larouche have the teams highest handicaps (1 each) while Brett Hull and Grant Fuhr are scratch golfers and the entire group is less likely to make mistakes than the rest of the teams. However, as Craps table croupiers will tell you, “smart money” is not how I roll. I’m a gambler who goes with her gut and passions, and it often pays off. And when it comes to sports, my passions are golf (obviously) and baseball. So I signed up to be a Pro Coach as “golfchick” and picked these guys:
Besides, if the Penguins win tonight and go to a game 7, do you actually think Mario Lemieux is going to skip off and play golf while his team battles it out for the Stanley Cup? Does the hockey team have a substitute for its team captain, will Mario be a jetsetter for the weekend, or will they be man down?
The action starts soon so get over there and sign up. It’s free to be a Pro Coach, you get to make decisions that actually have an impact on your chosen team, and each team is backing its own terrific charity. You can also sign up to be a VIP Pro Coach for $10 and get some cool perks while contributing to the charities yourself. Let the fun begin!

Evidently, we babes like our baseball. I’m with the boys of summer too.
