Here's the pertinent section. If interested, just go to the source below to read the whole article. BMW Charity Pro-Am announces this year's celebrity participants GREENVILLE - Samuel L. Jackson, Dennis Quaid, Luke Wilson, Greg Kinnear, Kurt Russell, Catherine Bell, David James Elliott, Wayne Gretzky, Janet Jones Gretzky, Dave Coulier, Stefanie Schaeffer, Patrick Warburton, Oliver Hudson, Michael Pena, Jason Dohring, Kevin Sorbo, Josh Kelley, Cheech Marin, Javier Colon, Lucas Black, Steve Azar, Gary Valentine, Mark Rypien, Branford Marsalis, Pat Green, George Rogers, Ben Wright and Jennifer Mills are the celebrities that are scheduled to compete in this year's BMW Charity Pro-Am golf tournament. Jason Dohring got his start in commercials and then moved into roles in movies and television. He has appeared on JAG, Roswell, Boston Public, The Division, and Cold Case among others. Dohring also co-starred opposite Randy Quaid in the made-for-television film, Black Cadillac, which was just released on video and DVD. His breakout role was portraying the scene-stealing Logan Echolls on the critically-acclaimed Veronica Mars and can be seen as the 400-year-old vampire Josef on Moonlight. On top of being a talented actor, Dohring is an expert skier and enjoys snowboarding, water skiing, golf and boxing. This is Dohring's first time in the tournament. The BMW Charity Pro-Am is the only tournament on the Nationwide Tour where amateurs and celebrities are grouped with Nationwide Tour professionals in a three-day better-ball competition. Amateurs, celebrities and pros will rotate between each of the three courses on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, with the 14 lowest scoring pro-amateur/pro-celebrity teams advancing to play Sunday's final round at Thornblade Club. Celebrities will play once at each course on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. The professional winner of the overall 72-hole event will take home $121,500 from the total purse of $675,000, which is one of the largest purses on the Nationwide Tour, as well as a brand new BMW X5 Sports Activity Vehicle. Amateurs and celebrities will compete for individual prizes and cash donations to the charity of their choice out of the beneficiaries selected by South Carolina Charities, Inc. The first seven tournaments have raised more than $5.7 million for 80+ area charities. I'm not sure why the press release doesn't list the date and all info, but here it is: The Nationwide Tour event is scheduled May 15-18 at Bright's Creek Golf Club in Tryon, N.C., The Carolina Country Club in Spartanburg and Thornblade Club.

I don't have it, but I have friends who do. I'll see if I can get someone to make the clips. Can't promise because I don't know if they have the technical capacity to do so (I know they won't mind doing it if they can), but we'll try.

That said, I'd tune in to see Jason. If I had the Golf Channel that is, which I don't. I'm not sure I could sit through the entire tournament coverage just to see him, though. I'm not a masochist. I'm glad he's taking part in this. I'm sure this event will get a great deal of coverage, so it's quite a bit of exposure for him. Not that he's doing it for exposure, it's just a nice side benefit.

Here's his tee times: Jason Dohring: Thursday (9:50 a.m., Carolina CC, No. 10); Friday (9 a.m., B. Creek, No. 1); Saturday (10:30 a.m., Thornblade, No. 10) Anyone know if they get this channel and can try and record him and upload it? I'd love to see him play.

Just so you know, even though those are his tee times, The Golf Channel's coverage of the event is condensed and delayed. The times to record for the celebrity coverage is 1-3pm on Friday, 1-4pm Saturday and 1-4pm Sunday, all times EDT.

I'll post the pics later. Jason is an incredible golfer and was so, so nice. I can't even begin to explain how nice he was. A real class act. That is rare in hollywood and I appreciate it greatly. And I was really surprised at how good he was. He was completely holding his own with the pros!! Last Edited By: lovesepic 05/16/08 9:14 PM. Edited 2 times.

Jason wasn't shown, although the last leader board he and his partner were leading the field. Here is a picture found of Jason golfing. http://www.greenvilleonline.com/apps/pbcs.dll/gallery?Site=BS&Date=20080515&Category=SPORTS&ArtNo=805150802&Ref=PH&Params=Itemnr=13#photo And here's the photo: Last Edited By: JenniferH 05/18/08 7:17 AM.
