ATLANTIC CITY — According to playboygolf.com, Playboy Golf has a strong commitment to working with local charities throughout the United States and Canada … but enough about that.

This Sunday, June 12, the Atlantic City version of the Playboy Golf Scramble returns to town with a kickoff party at the Tropicana at 8pm, hosted by the “Girls of Playboy Golf” — attractive young ladies hand-picked to assist the golfers at the party and during the next day’s scramble.

The $425-per-golfer event will begin Monday (June 13) afternoon at Ballamor Golf Club in EHT. An 11:30am registration will be followed by a 1pm shotgun start. It is open to all amateur golfers at the local level, with a special handicapping system designed to make the tournament highly competitive for even the marginally talented golfer. The Tropicana party, as with each of several qualifying events through December (the last being at Robina Woods Golf Course in Australia on Dec. 11), precedes golf where contestants get to mingle with former Playmates and the Playboy “Girls of Golf.”

Among the former Playboy Playmates scheduled to be in attendance Sunday at the Trop and Monday at Ballamor are Shannon James, Jaime Edmondson and Mainland Regional High School’s own Jennifer Pershing, Miss March 2009 (right and above right).

Billed as “the most unique and exciting entertainment event in the world,” the A.C. Playboy Scramble is one of 18 throughout North America and in Australia taking place on challenging courses. The teams qualifying for the finals — to be held at Pacific Palms Golf Resort in Los Angeles from March 28-April 1, 2012 — will be invited to two parties at the famed Playboy Mansion, including a VIP Players Pajama and Lingerie Party. Top-qualifying teams will receive generously discounted packages to the finals, according Playboy Golf director of brand marketing and strategy John Stetz, which will also include about 40 former Playboy Playmates and over 300 “Girls of Playboy Golf” selected from all across the U.S., Canada and Australia.

While the Playboy Scramble is not a charity golf tournament, proceeds raised through auctions and raffles at the events will benefit such charities in each tournament city as the March of Dimes, the Arthritis Foundation, the Make-A-Wish Foundation, the Ike Austin Foundation, Easter Seals, St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital, American Cancer Society and others.

Party With the Playmates at Ego Lounge
By Ray Schweibert


If your New Year’s resolution was to curtail carousing into the wee hours and ogling smoking hot women, you might want to consider putting that off for just a little while longer. Or at least until this Saturday night’s (Jan. 14) Party with the Playmates has effectively left town and moved on to its next destination.
