He doesn’t play, but he happily has his name and shows up in support of a golf tournament that raises money for a worthy cause.
As usual, Dorsett, the Hall of Fame running back from Hopewell, didn’t play in the golf outing that bears his name.
First of all, he doesn’t golf. Secondly, even if he did, he’s too busy making his rounds between the two courses used to accommodate 65 foursomes playing scramble golf with a celebrity.
Dorsett started his day at Diamond Run Golf Club in Ohio Township, thanking all the corporate sponsors who paid $3,200 a foursome, posing with pictures and most importantly, touting the good things done at McGuire. He then made his way to Treesdale Golf & Country Club and repeated his routine.
Proceeds from the tournament benefit the 100 or so children and adults with mental retardation cared for at the McGuire Home in Daugherty Township.
Along with a strong contingent of famous folk associated with Pitt — including coaches Dave Wannstedt and Jackie Sherrill — Miss Pennsylvania, LauRen Merola was there. Which is reallyjust just an excuse to put up a picture.
Best of luck to the kid, and hopefully he can get it done in the classroom.
I only wish there was some way we could credit 13-9 for all of this.
