X-rated golf charity event raided by cops
Words: Tim Southwell
"It's cute girls in bikinis serving drinks that's it."
That, according to Tournament organizer, Dennis Daugherty, was the extent of 'goings on' during his charity golf event that was supposed to raise money for the Make A Wish charity.
Other accounts of the days events include naked ladies of 'ambitious integrity' and live sex acts on the golf course. Not what you usually expect in your Sunday medal. Furthermore, the Make A Wish charity have apparently received zero cash from the event.
The tournament took place at a golf course in Columbia, Illinois in late September. A News 4 photographer shot video (below) of women exposing their 'upstairs areas', and cavorting with golfers in their 'downstairs areas'.
News 4 reporter Chris Nagus spoke with a woman who had been asked by Daugherty to take part in the tournament and to find, "rich, horny men" who would be willing to take part. She told News 4 she declined and then told other women she knew who had been invited to turn it town, warning them there would be what she called "disgusting" activity during the tournament.
As for Make-A-Wish, Daugherty admits the charity got nothing. He says that is because he lost money on the event due to low turnout.
He adds that he was contacted by the charity the day before the event and told to remove their name from the flyer and off any promotion. Daugherty says he did that. A Make-A-Wish spokesman claims that he was never licensed to use the charity's name for any fundraising activities.
Columbia police were called to the course the day of the tournament. Daugherty says he met them there, saying, "I rode around on the golf cart with the cops. I did see a girl with her top off at one time." He says he saw no sex acts.
"Hold on Larry, I think our expertise would be better served at the golf course..."
Columbia police are charging Daugherty with 'deceptive practice'. The police chief saying that is based on the promotion of the tournament at a charity fundraiser when no money was donated.
Daugherty claims he was just trying to do something good for charity, and did not know of any sex acts taking place: "If there was things going on," claims Daugherty, "I didn't know about, yeah. If people take clothes off, not my responsibility."
Now Columbia police want to identify the women in the photos of explicit sex, as they have their own golf event to organise and, well, y'know...
Make-a-Wish released the following statement:
Make-a-Wish released the following statement:
We appreciate individuals and companies fundraising on our behalf. In fact, we rely on local funding to grant the wishes of local kids battling life-threatening medical conditions. Make-A-Wish has procedures in place to review and approve potential fundraisers. Unfortunately, Mr. Daugherty did not go through this process and the event is not, and never has been, a sanctioned Make-A-Wish fundraiser. While we do not have first-hand knowledge of the fundraiser, the event as described certainly does not fall in line with our values as an organization.
