Local Youth Foundation wins celebrity golf tournament web posted June 4, 2009  EDGEFIELD – During
Memorial Day Weekend,
mentors from local area youth foundation, CHOICES-A LifeTime
Development, Inc. participated and were named champions of a celebrity
golf tournament in West Palm Beach, Florida. The actual tournament was
held at the very pristine Indian Spring Country Club in Boynton Beach,
Florida and was named for former NFL great Ottis "OJ" Anderson. Ottis Jerome "O.J." Anderson (born January 19, 1957 in West Palm Beach, Florida), is a retired American football running back. He was named the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year by the Associated Press (AP) with the St. Louis Cardinals in 1979, and the MVP of Super Bowl XXV in 1991 when playing with the New York Giants. Very interestingly, our guys from Edgefield learned that OJ Anderson is the Great-Nephew of the great educator from Aiken, SC , Mrs. Minnie Palmore. Also, it was stated that OJ Anderson's QB in college, the University of Miami, was UGA head coach Mark Richt. The event featured several professional athletes the likes of Abe Elam of the NY Jets, Anthony Carter formerly of the Minnesota Vikings, Jed Weaver of the Super Bowl Champion N E Patriots, Darrell Gadsden of the Atlanta Hawks to name a few. Darrell Gadsden informed mentors from CHOICES that he lived in Ward, SC for a brief time as a young lad. The mentors who were deemed champions pictured are (not in order): Errol Thomas (Team Coach); Rodney Tillman; Wiley Williams; Timothy Johnson; and Terrence Cheatham. CHOICES-LTD plans to host in the CSRA area its first annual scholarship fundraiser golf classic. A date and course near you will be set and disclosed soon. The tentative time-frame is Spring 2010. The tournament will feature many professional athletes and business professionals form far and near © Copyright 2009
