Fast forward to part two, the Golf Tournament, held at the exquisite La Costa Resort & Spa golf course on Monday afternoon. Athletes, sponsors and guests all competed to outdo each other in hopes of taking home the title of "Tournament Champion."; The day included many laughs and amazing shots as well as a far share of miscues and colorful golf outfits which provided comic relief for all.
