Catherine Zeta Jones Charity Golf

Few celebrities has done a remarkable charity works, and even fewer done a regular sports for their own health. But how about done both of them in the same time? To named one celebrity that did that, let's say Catherine Zeta Jones.

Well, she's not a super woman like Teri Hatcher that managed to finished a charity triathlon in the age of 43, Zeta Jones choice of sport would be golf. In other words, if Teri Hatcher have a more macho and sexy approach, Zeta Jones would be what we called classy style.



And while doing golf, she never forgot about her homeland, Wales. One way to justified that was by doing a charity work with her husband, Michael Douglas, to donate to a children hospital in Cardiff. She held a golf tournament in the city of Newport, and also have her golf shoes for auction. The purpose was to raised £300,000 for this hospital that built in 2005.


The golf tournament was televised on Sky One and Zeta Jones apparently had pre-match nerves. She is reported as saying "It's such an unpredictable game – I'm just praying to the golf gods". Viewers may have tuned in for the golf, but many more undoubtedly tuned in to see the goddess in ladies golf shoes doing her stuff.

"They, the children that are sick, were not so lucky. Thus, there was nothing wrong if I give a little joy for them."
-Catherine Zeta Jones stated in her personal site.
To these couples, having part in a golf tournaments was not something new. In 2005 Ryder Cup, Zeta Jones performed in a celebs exhibition match. She joined the European team, while Michael Douglas fights for the U.S team.
