The Diamond Resorts Invitational Celebrity Golf Tournament took place this past weekend at The Golden Bear Club in Keene’s Pointe. The $500,000 tournament was telecast live on Golf Channel and raised money for Florida Hospital for Children.

Recently retired tennis star Mardy Fish took first place, with Rick Rhoden placing second and baseball hall-of-famer John Smoltz placing third.

"It's been an awesome event — Diamond Resorts puts on an amazing event, first class all the way around," Fish said. "It kind of felt like I was in the finals of a tennis tournament again."

The tournament highlights included plenty of fun and funny moments, such as when Mike Eruzione, captain of the “Miracle on Ice” 1980 United State Olympia Hockey Team, lost his hat during a swing because of an unruly wind.
