The Joe Carter Classic celebrity golf tournament spanned two days and ended once again with an invitation only after party last night with proceeds benefitting the Children’s Aid Foundation.
The 6th annual charity golf tournament paired golf enthusiasts (including people just like you and I) with celebrities in sports and entertainment at Eagles Nest Golf Club in Maple, Ontario. It’s a great win for everyone involved, especially local children’s charities.
I was lucky to help with the audio recording on the red carpet for our friends at OTSN and Notable.
“The after party is just the icing on the cake,” said Joe Carter to Erin Davis from Notable. “It’s about raising money but when you raise money have fun doing it.”
Then the main attraction came to the red carpet, the legendary Mr. Snoop Dogg himself.
OTSN starts off by asking Snoop Dogg about what brings him to the Joe Carter Classic.
SD: Anytime I can be a part of a positive event to raise money for charity, I love doing this, I would do it for free. It’s not about the money it’s about showing up, showing love and putting your interests in the right place.
OTSN: Talk to me about your current projects right now.
SD: Got an album out right now called Bush and a single with Stevie Wonder, California Roll.
Notable: What’s been your highlight of the Joe Carter Classic?
SD: My Highlight has been talking to Wayne Gretzky, Dan Marino, and other great superstar athletes and having a conversation with them.
Notable: Who is the most influential Canadian you know?
SD: Bubbles of the Trailer Park Boys
Notable: Who’s your favourite person to get high with?
SD: Bubbles of the Trailer Park Boys
Meanwhile, Wayne Gretzky, a close friend of Joe Carter, did not make his regular appearance at the after party this year, him and Snoop Dogg did get to meet. Worlds collide.
The terrace at Shangri-La was tented, and there was a photobooth.
Maestro Fresh Wes warmed up the crowd with his own solid performance and then Snoop Dogg performed favourite classics such as Gin and Juice for the full ballroom while guests went wild.
