The clubs were a-flying Saturday morning in Las Vegas, as Darius Rucker hosted the 2014 ACM Lifting Lives Celebrity Golf Classic at TPC Las Vegas. "It's such a great cause," said Rucker, who also hosted the event last year. "They do such great work, and to be a part of it and be able to come out and sponsor this golf tournament is really an honor."

The tournament benefits the Diane Holcomb Emergency Relief Fund, which enables ACM Lifting Lives to respond quickly to unforeseen, immediate financial needs of music related organizations and individuals. Just that morning, Rucker heard first-hand about how the organization had touched one of the attendees lives – something that pleased the singer. "I find the things I really care about, and I try to go and raise money for them. When I hear stories about how it's affected people's lives, it makes me feel happier and more proud of what I'm doing."

Participants in the tournament included Scotty McCreery, David Nail, Jake Owen, and Frankie Ballard, who told The 615 that the event combined two of his strongest passions. "It's such a cool idea to have golf incorporated with any charity. Everybody wants to come and support that kind of event. I love to play, and it's a beautiful day. So, I'm happy to be here."

How is Ballard's golf game? "I've been playing since I was little," he admitted, "but I don't score very well. I chalk it up to course management. I get up there and grip it, rip it, and try to hit it as far as I can. That usually doesn't compute to scoring very well."

One celebrity that said he tried to brush up on his golf skills was Scotty McCreery. "I've tried to play every day this week  Monday," he said. "I was really focused on my backswing. I was hitting the ball about as well as I have done in quite some time. Then, Wednesday, I go back out and try to focus on the same thing. I shot about as bad as I ever have shot in my life," he said with a laugh. "Golf is a sport I will never figure out, but it's fun. It keeps me coming back."

McCreery also allowed that he comes back because he likes to give back. "This is such a great cause. When you have a ton of folks that want to support a cause like this, and are so passionate about, that's how you know it's really making a difference in people's lives. I'm glad we can do whatever we can to help raise awareness and help out."
