Maybe it’s the smell of freshly cut grass, it might be the solid thwack of a well hit drive, whatever it is, we are going golf crazy over here at Greer’s OC. We want to share the golf stoke with our readers. We are giving away 2 passes to sit in the 18th fairway La Times/Daily Pilot villa for the Toshiba Classic’s final round action this Sunday. You’ve heard about the big name golfers competing, you’ve seen the beautiful Newport Beach Country Club, and now is your chance to sit at the finish line of one of golf’s great tournaments. Last year, golfing legend Nick Price clinched the win on the 18th hole with a chip for eagle. This year, we are giving you a chance to see stars like Nick Price and Fred Couples duel it out on the 18th green. The Toshiba Classic, in its 18th year, is the most charitable event on the PGA Champions Tour, and that’s why we like it. This year’s event is benefiting Hoag Hospital’s Diabetes Center. Throughout the years, the Toshiba Classic has raised $14 million dollars for Hoag Hospital. Come be apart of this special event, catch golf fever, and feel the goodwill. To enter to win, simply like us on our Facebook page.
