Local NBC veterans Matt Lauer and Stone Phillips are expected join Season 5 “American Idol” champ Taylor Hicks and other celebs at Winged Foot Gold Club in Mamaroneck this Monday to fundraise for an autism charity at the ninth-annual Celebrity Golf Challenge.
Founded by former NBC CEO Bob Wright and his wife Susan, Autism Speaks sent invitations to the “Today” show co-host, who spent part of his childhood in Chappaqua, Ardsley and Hartsdale; the “Dateline” alumnus, who owns property in Dobbs Ferry; and the silver-haired “Idol,” who, um, will be in Westchester County possibly for the first time.
Among the other celebrities expected to attend are Gregg Bello, Joe Kernen, Jeremy Lincoln, Jack Ford and Don Criqui, according to the organization.
Many thanks to fellow Remote Access contributor Amy Vernon for the tip.

Taylor Hicks has supported Studio By The Tracks for many years now. It is a small non profit agency which every week provides safe harbor for individuals with autism who come to make art.

Many Taylor Hicks fans have also stepped up to support this charity! Now the important question-Will this make the golf channel and will Taylor have another eagle!
Fan-tastic! I love it when Taylor plays golf. Second only to when he plays music…
This is great. Taylor is such a wonderful man. I am sure he will make TV for sure. He is the greatest and I love this man. Maybe he will sing for us.

Never in my life, or lifetime have I ever wanted to follow someones career. This may seems like something out of the twilight zone but Taylor Hicks makes my heart happy, very hard to explain but when I see him…...hear him…....I just automatically smile…..thats worth any patinium record…no other artist can do that for me. Taylor you are awesome!!!
I am so happy that Taylor will be there helping to support this cause.I know of and have donated to Studio By The Tracks, another charity for autism, that he supports. Since my son has autism, this just gives me another reason to support Taylor.
Taylor Hicks deserves this R&R. This guy works so hard and also very dedicated to charitable organizations. He also supports and is very compassionate to children with special needs, especially AUTISM. We are very proud of Taylor Hicks!
I agree with the above Eclectilady – Taylor makes my heart happy too…He is an awesome performer and such a great guy! I had the pleasure and privilege of meeting him in Birmingham, AL, and he was so kind and caring making sure he made eye contact with all of us … oh my, THUD! Those beautiful eyes! I wish him all the best in his career – his dreams are coming true. Love to watch him play golf, saw him in B’ham doing that also – he is so much fun and has a great smile and big laugh! We love you Taylor!
Happy to see Taylor involved in this. He has a huge heart for charity!!! If you have a chance to see him live – don’t miss the opportunity while he is in New York!
Taylor Hicks! What a great choice! He already supports a charity for autism and he is one of the greatest guys around.
Taylor Hicks, wonderful!
But who are Matt Lauer and Stone Phillips??

So this is Monday the 18th? Is it open to the public? Road trip from Brooklyn if it is.

If you can go watch Taylor play, go. I went to Birmingham to the Senior Pro Am and just had a lot of fun and a very relaxing, wonderful day. I love golf and I love Taylor. A great combination.
HOLY MOLY!!!! Taylor was right in my back yard!!!! Im hooked on Hicks!!!
Seriously, who are Lauer and Stone Phillips?
WOW!! Taylor is in such demand and is known for all his charity work, they could not have chosen a more perfect team player. GO TAYLOR!!! We are here for you and chearing you on.
Um….what? Taylor has been working for StudioByTheTracks, a charitible organization for autusic individuals for a long time. Good man, great performer, you should treat yourself to one of his shows while hes in the area. He’ll be a great addition to this charity fuction. Have fun, Taylor. Maybe you’ll get another eagle.
