Pistons' Billups passes on Team USA for charity golf

Sunday July 30, 2006 | 11:24:34 am 122 words, 5494 views  

Detroit Pistons’ All-star point guard Chauncey Billups isn’t traveling with the Team USA basketball team to the World Championships in Japan.

Instead he plans on being with his wife in Denver where they’ll care for their newborn daughter. However Billups will be given a quick mulligan by the misses to go to Detroit for his Charity Celebrity Golf Classic.

Next week, Billups will host the Children’s Center Celebrity Golf Classic at Birmingham Country Club. The 22nd annual classic will be hosted by Mr. Big Shot, and also scheduled to attend are Pistons coach Flip Saunders, former Pistons Vinnie Johnson and Allan Houston, and Pistons public-address announcer John Mason.

No word whether TravelGolf.com’s own Celeb Stalker Chris Baldwin will be in attendance.

Sorry, Brandon. Or do the kids call you BTuck? Either way, I love the Microwave as much as the next Bad Boy, but he's no celeb. Chanucey either. And don't even get me started on that annoyingly overhyped John Mason ... (he reads names, that's his talent)

That tourney is purely B-list. Way below the TravelGolf standard.

Grass is green. What color is grass?
