The Children’s Miracle Network®  Classic Professional Golf charity tournament at Disney World’s Palm and Magnolia courses begins November 12 and runs through November 15, 2009. This is a PGA tour event wth a purse of $4.7 million.

Past winners of this tournament have included such current and former players as Jack Nicklaus, Vijay Singh, Davis Love III and Tiger Woods. This year’s field is stronger than it has been in recent years and includes Davis Love III, David Toms, Justin Leonard and Mark Calcavecchia. If you have ever attended the Arnold Palmer Invitational, these pro golf events are a lot of fun.

As a special attraction, the Walt Disney culinarians will offer unique food offerings on the back Nine of the Magnolia course. These will be gourmet food pairings with wine or craft brewed beers from around the world. Tickets for the food and beverage portion of the event are $10 for a one day pass or $20 for a week long food and beverage ticket.

All of the week’s fun events benefit the Children’s Miracle Network and its 170 non-profit local children’s hospitals. The Children’s Miracle Network® Hospitals in Florida include the All Children’s Hospital in St. Petersburg, Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children in Orlando, Miami Children’s Hospital, Sacred Heart Children’s Hospital, Shands Children’s Hospital at the University of Florida, and the Wolfson Children’s Hospital in Jacksonville.

Make plans to attend this very special Disney sports event, and support a great cause as well.

The 4th Annual Old Spice College Basketball Classic is scheduled for November 26, 27 and 29th, 2009 in Orlando. This is one of our favorite live sports events in Orlando. Some other exciting upcoming live sports events in Orlando include the Capital One Bowl and the Champs Sports Bowl. The Old Spice NCAA Basketball Classic will be held at the Disney Sports “Milk House” arena.

The field for the Old Spice Classic includes Alabama, Baylor, Creighton, Florida State, Iona, Marquette, Michigan, and Xavier. The early favorite to win the event is the Michigan Wolverines. Michigan is in the Top 25 for both the AP and Coaches basketball poll. Baylor, Marquette and Xavier are also highly regarded. The Old Spice Classic field for 2009 is one of the strongest it has been since the tourney’s inception. The tournament was won by Gonzaga in 2008.

Vacation villas in Orlando are an excellent way to house your family and fellow basketball fans. Most homes are 3 bedrooms or more and are an excellent value when you consider the presence of amenities such as a pool, kitchen, and residential appliances. While you are in town, you’ll have to enjoy the sunny weather playing on one of Orlando’s championship golf courses. Some of the golf villas we review are located very close to the Disney Sports Complex. Check-out our 80+ vacation rental reviews posted on the website.
