Darius Rucker, Jake Owen, Justin Moore Among Stars Playing in Colt Ford's Celebrity Golf Classic

Average Joe'sColt Ford played professional golf before becoming a country star, so it's a natural fit for him to host the Colt Ford & Friends Celebrity Golf Classic on September 24.  Darius Rucker, Jake Owen, Justin Moore and Jamey Johnson are among the stars who've signed on to participate in the event just outside Atlanta.  Proceeds go to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

“I could not think of a better way to raise money than playing golf with a group of my good buddies,” Colt says.  "I am thankful for the opportunity to give back to such an outstanding organization. ”

Laura Bell Bundy, John Michael Montgomery and John Anderson are also taking part in the golf tournament.
