Windows were rattled, branches were broken and a number of streets were flooded but Metro NY managed to avoid the worst of hurricane Irene.
Most New York City subways, buses and commuter trains will be back to normal tomorrow morning after a complete shut-down in anticipation of what could have been a far more destructive weather event.
Better yet, the next several days are expected to be dry and sunny. That's welcome news, especially if you've got a major charity golf event planned... and that's the position Cristie Kerr finds herself in. This week the LPGA mega-star will host the two-day Inaugural Liberty Cup Charity Golf Tournament.
The event kicks off tomorrow evening with a welcome reception at PH-D, an otherworldly space on the rooftop of the new Dream Hotel. On Tuesday professional golfers and stars from the sports & entertainment worlds will head out to Jersey City and breathtaking Liberty National Golf Club for the Liberty Cup Pro-Am. The day finishes with a Cocktail Reception, Dinner, an Auction & Awards and will benefit Kerr’s Birdies for Breast Cancer Foundation and the Christie Kerr Women’s Health Center at the Jersey City Medical Center, as well as other Jersey City Charities.
The event promises to be spectacular, especially now that a certain uninvited guest by the name of Irene has left town. For more information, visit cristiekerrgolf.com

Cristie Kerr Donates & Defends at State Farm Classic

In addition to her work on the golf course, the 14 time LPGA Tour winner has been quite busy off the course raising money for her Birdies for Breast Cancer charity. Several days ago she presented a $5,000 check to the Simmons Cancer Institute at Southern Illinois University School of Medicine.
The donation was made at a wine-tasting event held at Panther Creek in conjunction with “Curvature” Cristie Kerr’s signature wine label. It will fund ongoing research to fight breast cancer.
As a charitable partner, SCI will also receive funds from the LPGA... and tomorrow is "Get Your Pink On Day" when spectators who wear pink will get free parking and four breast cancer survivors representing the cancer institute will be walking with the pros. It looks like a rosy weekend ahead in Springfield.
