MILWAUKEE (7/3/2008) - Fox Point native Skip Kendall and 10 other PGA Tour pros will return to Milwaukee July 21 for the eighth annual Children's Hospital of Wisconsin Skip Kendall Pro-Am Fore Kids.
The PGA players include: Olin Browne, Jay Delsing, Robert Gamez, J.P. Hayes, John Huston, Skip Kendall, Jim McGovern, Dicky Pride, Chris Smith, Omar Uresti and Mark Wilson. 
Kendall and the other PGA Tour pros will hit the links at 8 a.m. Monday, July 21, at Tripoli Country Club, 7401 N. 43rd St., Milwaukee. Since its inception in 2000, the pro-am has raised nearly $3.2 million to support medical care, education, advocacy and research programs at Children's Hospital.
BoDeans headline An Evening for The Kids
The BoDeans, one of the premier American roots-rock bands, has signed on to perform Saturday, July 19, for Skip and Traci Kendall's An Evening for the Kids at the Milwaukee Public Museum, 800 W. Wells St., Milwaukee. Getting their start more than 20 years ago in Waukesha, Wis., the BoDeans' first album in 1986 propelled them into the national spotlight. Rolling Stone named them "Best New Band," and they went on tour with U2. The evening's activities include dinner, silent and voice auctions and opportunities to meet and mingle with PGA Tour pros.
Junior Golf Clinic
Skip Kendall also hosts the Junior Golf Clinic 9 a.m. Tuesday, July 15. More than 200 junior golfers from across Wisconsin will benefit from group instruction by Kendall, followed by a practice session. The clinic will be held at Brown Deer Park, 7835 N. Green Bay Ave., Milwaukee.
