Clay Walker prepares for golf tourney to fight MS
Friday, April 18, 2008 – Clay Walker is preparing for a hole-in-one at the inaugural Clay Walker Charity Classic golf tournament benefiting Band Against MS. The tournament will be held June 30 - July 2 at the Pebble Beach Resorts in Pebble Beach, Cal.
The invitation only event will benefit Walker's public charity, Band Against MS (BAMS). Walker, who was diagnosed with MS in 1996, founded BAMS in 2003 to create awareness and fund research programs for those living with the debilitating disease.
"This is going to be an incredible few days...Pebble Beach is one of the most beautiful places in the country," said Walker. "I am thrilled and grateful to be able to raise awareness and funding for a disease that affects so many by combining two of my favorite things, golf and music.
During the event, Walker will give a concert with the golf at three different courses.

A good example of this recording's shallowness is the clich+-ridden "Everybody Needs Love," which endlessly repeats stereotypes about Nashvillians and Texans, without ever telling us anything ...
Clay Walker fans expecting fiddle-and-steel arrangements of traditional Christmas songs may be disappointed. Walker fans willing to keep an open mind (and ear), on the other hand, may be pleasantly surprised.
