Sport and Music Celebrities To Play at Fairfield Golf Tourney

What does a two-time Super Bowl winning Safety, a two-time Cy Young Award winning pitcher, a left-handed National League outfielder and a Country Western Singer have in common?

They will all be playing in the Fairfield Suisun Rotary Outhouse Open Charity Golf Tournament on August 12, 2019 at Green Valley Country Club.

Fairfield Suisun Rotary President Kelly Rhoads-Poston today announced that former San Francisco 49er Safety Dwight Hicks, former Kansas City Pitcher Bret Sagerhagen, former Atlanta Braves Outfielder Joe Trippy and Country Western Star Colt Ford had all signed up to play and will be donating signed balls, bats, and albums to the event.

“Our annual golf tournament is always a fun-filled, exciting event, but having these celebrities join us makes it even more special” said President Rhoads-Poston.

Dwight Hicks is a former professional American football player who played safety for the San Francisco 49ers from 1979 to 1985.
