More than 132 golfers hit the links at the 18th annual Conine All-Star Golf Classic, one of South Florida’s most successful and longest running sports celebrity golf tournaments.The event was an outstanding success, raising more than $255,000 for Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital Foundation, which helps underwrite the operations of the Conine Clubhouse, a home-away-from-home for families of children under care at Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital.
Hosted by former major league ballplayer Jeff Conine and his wife Cindy (pictured), with Calder Casino & Race Course returning as title sponsor, the fun-filled day took place at the nationally renowned course at The Club at Emerald Hills in Hollywood. The course has played host to the event since its inception with all costs and expenses graciously donated by Mr. and Mrs. Michael Fineberg, owners of The Club at Emerald Hills. Players enjoyed a sports celebrity in each foursome, the opportunity to win valuable prizes at all 18 holes, and a poker tournament. With 33 teams participating, the Conine All-Star Golf Classic has become one of the most coveted tournaments and was sold out for the third consecutive year.
